I do remember the old reel to reel recorders, some of them were very good, most of them looked great too. For a long time I aspired to acquire a Revox, I never did though. Are the speakers in the lid of that unit?Sloop John B wrote:

Oh that just looks fantastic, I wouldn't care what the sound is like. I would imagine it is very good though.Dearg Doom wrote:This is a pic of my Akai

Ooh I have one of those Akais, just cranking it back into action this week!
Re: Rory Gallagher reissues
I have a TEAC, one - sounds good too. I have an akai m8 - its a valve model, but while its pretty much pristine, the amps need a recap.
More than once I was tempted to break it for parts, but always felt bad about doing that. Must sell it on....
