    Default Yet another BR20

    This one is in stunning visual condition
    still think the BR20 is one of the best R2Rs out there
    This one has Microphone inputs as well

    This will go for well over £1k when the bidding finishes in 6 days. Decent 2 track studio machines are going up in value quickly. Like everything, you are generally better off buying the best condition one you can find, unless you are a skilled technician like Alan.

    When you look at the TEAC X1000 & X2000 decks going for over 1K , I don't know why the BR20s are normally so cheap as they are vastly superior machine in every way but 2 track only.

    Guys, the only way is up for clean good quality 2 track 15 IPS machines. There are increasing numbers of available tapes and well heeled buyers are snapping them up. Also I heard that a Chinese company is buying Studer A80s and the such by the hundreds for a duplicating plant in China.
