Guys,

I am looking for another reel-to-reel deck and I've noticed that a fellow by the moniker of "vikingman3d" on that West Coast auction site appears to sell reconditioned machines (from multiple manufacturers) that look to be in tiptop shape. But they seem to be very expensive. Has anyone purchased from this individual? If so, are his machines really in the shape they appear to be in the photos?

Thanks for your help.

Bob.

Bob,

I purchased a reel to reel from vikingman3d thru ebay. An Akai GX 620. Other than a few very minor age flaws, the machine was mechanically like new and was exactly as the photo shown. I've seen higher prices on similar machines that weren't as in good of cosmetic shape condtion as the units he sells. If I was ever in the market again, I would certainly check his stock once more.
