*Condition*
This unit functions very well, but is not 100%. The only issue we can find that isn't working is Channel/Input 4 does not seem to work. Every other channel and track works great and as intended. Unit was tested with a Maxell Type 2 and the recordings sounded awesome. Buttons work smoothly, tape door opens and shuts smoothy, and all of the knobs still feel very nice. No big dents or obnoxious scratches. Cosmetically and functionally (mostly) beautiful.
Arguably, the best Multi-Track ever made. It's a great choice between the lesser features of its predecessors, and intense complications/features of later units.
Ships well-packed and insured.
Feel free to message with any questions.
