You'd want some more pics really, particularly of the heads and the tape guides, to see how worn they are. The tape guides are metal in the earlier APR5000 machines and ceramic in the later ones. Ceramic is better as they don't really wear.

If it works and you budget for relapping of the heads and a rebuild, you'll get the performance of a Studer A80 at a fraction of the price.
