A vintage Sony multi channel tape recorder. We purchased this from the original owner who has taken it all over for his own band recording work and that of others over the last 50 years. There were lots of stories, technical capabilities and explanations that went with it… we should have recorded those explanations! One thing we do remember was he was the drummer who appeared on Top Of The Pops with the Wombles! We are told it would only need a good service as it has been sitting for many years but as with all of our electrical equipment this is sold as spares/repairs. Non functional. Prop or display only. See notes on condition below.

We are often surprised by what we receive. You can usually avoid any disappointment by fully reading product descriptions and checking all listing photos where we strive to detail any defects our vintage and antique items may have.
