WHAT Have you heard the quality ,
The last one I had was great even though it would not record properly ,
Was waiting for Stewart Emmins to sort it out for me but alas he passed away :(

AND AND they look fantastic :D

Well its a top notch pro machine but why want one in a house? An Otari 'MTR15' is more than good enough for a home

I'd have one just for the sake of it. They look like something from Space: 1999.

[Made in 1968]

Only Tape machine you saw on Space 1999 was a Nakamichi '700'

[Macca]

What episode?

[Made in 1968]

Gosh Al, the MTR12 does appear to be a cracker ! https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/otari/mtr-12.shtml

Only early British Prog

Perhaps it was bought by the honourable Member in Cheltenham?

I had a MX55 :)

No pics of the heads, but that one looked cracking. No blade marks on the dining block, really clean - looks as if it's been babied all along.

That’s the first decent looking machine I’ve seen on the Bay for a very long time , very reasonable price ....and he was open to offers too !!!
I did contact them regarding the condition of the machine when I noticed the Ad ......couldn’t help myself even if it is the last thing I need just now (got one machine in for repair and a deposit on another after it has been evaluated)
They said the machine was in perfect fully working and serviced condition , it was there test machine at Solid state logic
who are a very highly regarded studio hardware company.......apparently it had a easy life and they had the facilities to fully demonstrate the machine
the machine had sold by the time I replied to there message
At least it gives us hope that there are still genuine bargains out there if your in the market for a top notch (serviced) studio machine
