The 1500 is a 4 head machine. It records and plays back in 1/2 track but also has a 1/4 track playback head. The 1506 is also a 4 head machine. It records and plays back in 1/4 track but also has a 1/2 track playback head. The 1700 is an auto reverse machine which means it's a 1/4 track machine.

I am wondering if you are interested in a Technics 1506? If you are in CA, AZ, NM or CO, I might have an interesting deal for you. I have two decks and a 1506 head block for sale. I just have no interest in shipping them. I am going to be traveling through the states mentioned in a little over a week and would love to bring them to you if you'd be interested in buying them.
