Up for sale is a very nice Revox A77 4 track tape recorder from the original owner. He had stopped using it about 10 years ago and it has been in his closet ever since.
Cosmetically this unit is in exceptionally nice condition. It does show minor signs of wear, but overall it is in excellent condition. Please look carefully at all pictures and judge for yourself.
The unit does turn on and play tapes. HOWEVER, there is a lot... of static (hiss) coming from the amplifier even when a tape is not being played. I suspect this is due to some capacitors going bad and they will have to be repaired. The only issue other than the hiss that I was able to discover is that the auto motor shut off when a tape ends is not working. This means that when a tape runs out, either during playback or fast forward or rewind, the tape will just spin until you hit the stop button.
Here are the things that I tested and that are working:
1. All lights2. Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Fast Rewind3. The unit plays 4 track tapes and the volume and balance work4. The unit Records and the small red Record lights on the VU meters work5. The tape counter works
If you have any other questions do not hesitate to contact me.
With a little TLC this beautiful unit could be humming!
The unit will be very well packed using all new materials and a heavy duty double walled (250lb test) box. It will be fully insured.
