To own one, you MUST be able to MAINTAIN one.

Even when brand spankin', the maintenance was near continuous.

The old analog decks DID sound wonderful with electric guitars, though, but don't for one second succumb to the idea that one can expect it to perform as designed from day to day without either being able to electrically, electronically and mechanically perform the necessary repairs and adjustments needed from day to day themselves, or have enough cash overhead available at all times to hire someone who can.

Guys who show up in lab coats who have German or Swedish sounding first names, speak little English - until it come time to fill out the Invoice for Services Rendered.

And don't try to find fresh reels of good magnetic tape for the things now, either. Today we are down to one $ource...
