The size will put people off..
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

The size are pretty big. I'd love one but they are simply too big especiallly with the meter bridge.

The APR's are truly fantastic machines with a sound quality to rival some of the finest analogue tape recorders.
The Otari MTR's are also staggeringly good - exceptionally well built with extremely high reliability. Line up on them is a dream thanks to all of the adjustments being out on the front panel on potentiometers.
When properly set up they sound excellent.
As has already been said I think it is the size that puts people off although their actual footprint is quite small and being standalone they are operationally extremely efficient (as many console machines are).
Also particularly the Sony is quite daunting operationally in terms of setup if one is not used to standard line up of analogue machines. Once you are familiar with the procedures though they are a pure dream to set up.

Those Otari MTR10 are a fantastic machine, I was watching that myself and notice that it is advertised again so didnt sell as cheap as I thought

I was also watching this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Otari-MTR-...3D271933663435
Which is still cheap for a proffessional machine, I just cant think of another line I can give the wife that will justtify yet another R2R player

And how much would 10.5" diameter spools of blank tape cost you?
