Really nice looking machine and I hope it comes to exist in terms of manufacture.

I do not believe the price - I would say around £10 000 - £12 000 for the basic replay unit incresing to around £22 000 for a fully specified record / replay unit.

Historically the domestic variants of these machines like the A and B 77 cost around one tenth of their studio counterparts. If one were to manufacture a studio master recorder now the cost to a commercial user would be around £95 000 - £120 000 due to the limited quantities that would be made.

The high end of open reel machines (machines manufactured in the 1980's) will now become increasingly rare, difficult to maintain and out of the reach of all but the most dedicated users.

Like many products in the high end of HiFi I believe open reel will be reserved for the financial elite.

Its good to hear that it may be built , However i'm not keen on the styling :( , It looks weird too lightweight and minimalistic , not for me I'm afraid , sorry

Looks perfect to me. If price is comparable to high end TT then it will be a winner.

I Think it looks beautiful but it lacks VU meters and is play back only. :scratch:
Its modular so you will be able to add a recording function and a meter bridge eventually but at some cost no doubt
