RE: I would not recommend Tandberg

The Tandberg which I bought (new) in 1973-74 was a great tape deck. I don't remember the model number. Full logic transport controls, really good sound quality. I special-ordered it as a two-track deck.

My earlier Roberts (Akai) deck was built like a tank, and sounded very good. I still have the Buddy Rich concert which I recorded on it with my AKG D222 microphones back in 1971. That was my first tape deck.

You can not sell me a Pioneer 707 ever. Cool-looking deck, but average sound.

My now-45 year old Revox A77 MK-IV is still working like a champ, and sounds great. Not as great as an Ampex ATR-100, but still great.
