These were a nice recorder in their day, I expect it would need a major service now though :)

Yes agreed re the rebuild , would be costly

I always found these machines rather odd and quite domestic in their input facilities and protocol - very similar to the B67 in terms of transport.

This one looks a little weathered but the heads seem ok from the pics at least.

I agree - I would much rather have a PR99.

The A700 was the top of the line in the 70s over the A77 and B77 according to wiki
The PR99 came later in the 80s and I also prefer them as well as I have 2 of them :eyebrows:
One thing I dont like about the A700 is slider pots as once they go they are usually irreplaceable.
