Well, the group is still active, although the original thread participants have likely moved on. As all these units will be over 25 years old by now, it's likely they'll either need maintenance or will already have been fixed up at some point - check with the seller to see if they know if any work has already been done on it. There's a discussion over on the Tapeheads forum that describes most of the common faults: http://www.tapeheads.net/showthread.php?t=63552 You should probably at least count on having to replace the power supply capacitors if this hasn't been done already. Any mains-powered electronics from the 80s and 90s should ideally be checked for dried-up smoothing capacitors in the PSU, as well as the infamous exploding RIFA line-filter caps, and I think that goes double for a machine with known power-supply reliability issues. > I also was wondering if these machines can play PAL tapes? Thanks! No mention of it in the manual, so I'd assume not. R |

Why don't you exercise your google-foo and spend some meaningful time with your browser and FIND OUT ON YOUR OWN!!! J |
