Pro level deck. 7.5 and 15 IPS on this model, makes great four track recordings, with great fidelity and superb noise specs. Ad outboard noise reduction and you have an even better deck. The heads are well made, the transport is bulletproof and easy to rebuild if it needs it. Relays and other components are high quality and even the capacitors seem to last longer than most, and hold the calibration for long periods without any need for tweaking. Most decks you find, though older, still have a lot of life left in them, and still retain their original calibration specs, unlike many from the same era and even same BRAND. It sounds better than most of the TASCAM products that even came AFTER this "consumer" level deck. 3 head deck, which performs like a champ, with simul-sync, a feature that lets you monitor previously recorded tracks through the record head, so your overdubs are synced up to the originals. This is why they sound so good! Great for pro recordings, mastering, or live recordings. Work well with pro quality tapes, high bias, or even CHEAPO tapes! At 15 IPS, you'd be hard pressed to get a bad recording. Simple and effective tape transport that rarely needs attention. Just a sleeper find for those looking for a pro level deck for home or studio.Read full review

Product is in good shape for something as old as it is, included reels and even some tape. Tape is older and had some old recpordings on it but was unexpected and welcome that so far everythiong is functiopning and in good working order for a unit of this age. One of the hub locks had a minor issue but was fixed wioth some super glue so all good now. Missing feet but they are readily available and not expensive so not an issue.
