    Description

    Low use machine. Heads are in great shape with lots of life left.
    For maintenance I cleaned the heads, oiled the capstans, and motors. The motor that engages the cam that brings the heads up was a bit finicky, a common problem with these decks once they sit for a while, but I oiled it and let it run for a while and it seems to have fixed the problem. I then checked the speed calibration which was ok, adjusted the azimuth, and checked the belts which looked great. Cleaned and lubbed all the knobs and mechanical push buttons.
    Cosmetically it's in pretty good shape. The front face plate is beautiful. Would give it a 9/10. The only issue is it seems at some point in its life some varnish was spilled on the top. I spent a while cleaning it up but couldn't get it off completely and didnt want to ruin the finish with a harsh chemical.
    Please take a look at all the pictures and ask any questions before buying since I do not accept returns.
