We're having a big clear out at work and a load of kit is getting junked or given away.
I seem to have accumulated an Otari MX-55 which apart from needing a new drive belt seems to be in good order.
Not being someone who has any previous experience with open reel apart from hearing them (and being blown away) at hi-fi shows, does anyone know anything about them, or more importantly whether there is any mileage in getting hold of material to play on this beast. I'm not interested in it for recording purposes, just playback.
If, as I suspect, it's going to be a bit of a fruitless exercise, anyone interested in this. It really is a beast of a machine.
