RE: I have all these 3 machines...

Thanks for the info. Another poster recommended Teac and Sharp, too.
I found, online, JoeyStumpf@hotmail.com . Claims to be a refurb business. From what you are saying, either in constant use, or just refurbed?
Ebay ranges in price from $25 to $250. "Ya pays ya money and ya takes ya chance."
With the filters set to Teac, Sharp, Revox, Tascam, and Nakamichi, I'll look at the offerings. Not really in a hurry, but I'd like to hit a good one first go.
I see several formats. Dual tape, single tape, both vertical doors, 5" x about 14", all plastic front, aluminum front, tape door on the top instead of the front. Rack mount? Does any of that make any difference?
