Reel to Reel Tape

Akai GX-747 DBX. As I stated earlier, I am slimming down on my reel to reel stick. A friend of mine want this one badly, so I will let it go to him. Others are  Revox A700, A77, B77, PR 99 (multiple of these), Pioneer RT909 (multiple of this one), Tandberg TD 20A, Technics 1500, Teac 1000x. It's crazy so I have to stop this collection practice and get rid of most of them. It will take time.

I will send you a message as I would rather purchase a unit from an enthusiast than a random buy from say eBay.
Thank you

No problem. You can get in touch.

Newbie here, I am smitten by recent resurgence of R2R tape decks. I went through few listening sessions at AXPONA and RMAF this year and came away quite impressed. 

@almandog,

I am interested in exploring R2R tape deck. Can i send you a PM to see what you may have available to sell? 

IME the Studer is one of the best sounding solid state machines. They look clunky (I have the A-80) but they deliver. The Ampex 351 electronics is more musical, but also can be noisier. To deal with some of the tape handling issues, I set the 351 electronics up with the AG-440 transport. But I find that the Studer gets more use- probably because its just so much easier to use.
