How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks?

Thanks,
Thata exactly what I was saying Jsman. Ray

Hey Jsman,

Sorry for the late response...just got back into town. I purchased my A820, with 1/2" and 1/4" capabilities, from a mastering studio in Burbank. Had both headstacks evaluated by Sprague Magnetics in Sylmar, CA...95% head life remaining...Charlie Bolois sorted the deck for me. I think I paid approximately $5700, total.

Regards,
Sam

Well thank For the threed I Have Crown 700 series deck which is in storage right now and I will get it back out in about a month and hook it up. I wonder what it sounds like now. I used the heck out of it for years and years. don't know how I got it here from the east coast, but it was still sounding great back then ( 1980 ) and as I said I just used the thing continuously until 1987 when successive moves lost it as it went into storage and now I look forward to getting it going again. So I will hear what it sounds like now.

In am interested in purchasing an AKIA GX635 in good working condition. I have a Revox A77 Mk III. The right channel is out and the 3 3/4 speed is not playing correctly. Any help out there?
