I have two.
Like many, I have an Otari MX5050. Mine is a BIII, bought in nice condition. Came out of a radio station where is was not heavily used. The fellow I bought it from bought the contents of the station with his brother. There was another 5050 B2 but really beaten up and a few others. Lots of R2R tapes, but most of them with sticky shed :-(.
My other one is a Bottlehead modified Technics 1506, playback only. It bypasses all electronics and feeds into a Bottlehead Prepro which is mounted below the Tape Deck. Above it is a custom remote, so I can control the machine from my listening chair. This was the first one done by Dan Schmalle and the Bottlehead crew as they were beginning the Tape Project. John French did the 2 track playback heads. Record heads were removed and dummies put in their places.
