I called about shipping and that would have been reasonable for the handling, maybe 50-60 bucks and FedEx for their share, 125 for a few thousand miles.

The electronics will need to be recapped, replacing the wet tantalums and the heads, unknown condition might need a relap then set up the electronics for tape of choice.

Transport will need a going over, too but it is mechanical and well with Crown's "Missionary Tough" policy should be easy enough.

Then you have a like new CX-800 with whatever heads you use, two-track or four track if you need to change me and can find heads.

But having a 15ips two track is the top for home tape machines...Victor's collection aside with the 30ips machines he has.
