R2R's for old geezers with carpet slippers and pipes isn't it?
Actually, apart from the 'tinkering' aspect, which no doubt will appeal to a few, I am beginning to wonder what the continual interest is though. Unless one visits live music performances and has permission to record, or has access to high quality original recordings, surely R2R's wiil just be used for re-recording from other media and limited by its quality? Good quality tape must be limited in supply I'd have thought too. Let alone parts to keep them going.
No doubt I'm about to be slammed as a heretic for even asking!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

At least with mine, which has a carry handle on the top, I can use it as a door stop

Pretty scant information given, so despite its excellent condition and if I could afford it, I wouldn't buy it.
Anyway, the only Studer machines that interest me are: the venerable C37, the B62 and, my ideal machine, the A80 RC. No doubtful EPROMs used there!

Lovely deck - the ultimate Studer in many ways - great transport, beautifully made and good electronics too. If it is in good nick (hard to tell with the photos) and the service record checks out with Audio House, then this is a good buy for someone yearning after the ultimate 2 track 1/4 inch R2R (with the ability to swap to 2 track 1/2 inch, if you can find the correct head block and bits).
Not really expensive for what it is. There are a fair number of people in this hobby, who will approach this for their vinyl replay system (TT/arm/cart - maybe more than one of each - phono stage etc). This A820 will only go up in value.
