If it was mine Andre - I wouldn't let it go. It looks lovely - elegant clean lines, very late '70s, but much better looking than a lot of present day cosmetics.

Looks suitably "scientific" doesn't it? Andre, you must buy a series 7 r-to-r to go with it...
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

I bought an F-307 a couple of weeks ago because it was cheap and I can't find, in my warehouse, the one I thought I had...
It looks good.....

Oops - I should have said late '60s! A fellow undergraduate had one and that was 1970. I was misled by my recollection of a friend trying out a Series 7 reel-to-reel tape deck in the late '70s, with similar styling.Yes perfect. Has new PSU & Output caps fitted.
