Ampex Model 1250 Tubed Reel-to-Reel

Hello -- I am thinking of investing in an Ampex Model 1250 tubed reel-to-reel. Would someone familiar with this unit extrapolate on its pros and cons relative to other machines. Currently I use a vinyl-only setup and hope to occassionaly use the Ampex to delve into a medium that is perhaps closer to an original performance.

The 1250 is a two-track machine that can use upto 7" reels and runs at speeds: 7 1/2 and 3 3/4 IPS

Thank you for your time and patience assisting in this matter.

Sincerely,
SomuT

Gentlemen:

I offer a gracious thank you for taking the time out of your day to answer this relatively complex issue. Like a good vinyl setup, this reel-to-reel endeavor is going to require some careful thought and research; more so given the expectation that the medium should live up to or surpass vinyl sonics.

Thank once again.

Sincerely,
SomuT
