In my Philly sound studio days, this was THE machine to make a producer's "rough mix" tape for review before final mixdown. I think Panasonic was inspired by the mighty 3M M-79 Iso-Loop multi-track transport.

Just an awesome looking piece of equipment. Watching reels go round is mesmerising.

I have had many RtR decks but this particular deck I have held onto because it is so iconic - the standard 80's era DJ deck.

I have the Revox in storage... I should bring that over too!

This is a dedicated stereo machine - I did have a quad deck years ago but parted with it for a move way back.

It do.

"Will it go round in circles?"

Does the 4-track side of that playback switch see any action? Discrete Quad!

Dr. Forbin is worried ... :)

Oh, wow - Collosus now ready to tape signals fro outer space - black holes included :)

A mighty beast. I hope food and medicine for the thing is going to be available for many more years. NOS belts are not always a bargain at any price; i just bought some that might be good for trapping flies or sealing envelopes but might need a lot of cunning (And repowering with a V8) to ever turn pulleys. I could say I'm envious, but a stronger word would be better.

Oh that's lovely!

I always dreamed of owning either the Technics RS1500 or Pioneer RTX909 - the latter came up first on eBay so that's what I have.. Lovely machine though.. Maybe I need both?

I'm so envious. I shouldn't be because I no longer have any reel tape but still, I'm soooo envious. :)
