Fostex B16 , 16 track multitrack tape recorder , half inch reels , it’s not been used since 2005 but switched it on and it powers up and will play tapes but needs a service as its a but jerky needs lots d TLC and maybe a few parts and maintenance ,these go for £1300 working so sold as seen or spares or repair ,I will do a video soon and or more photos too, VIDEO UPDATE: just posted a short video, the fostex b16 is on the floor so hard to access the controls, it seems to play ok wish but fast forward seems slower , maybe the tape its been on there for 20 years, Like I say sold spares or repairs/
update. loaded video and play testthis unit was fully working until 20 years ago, then I went digital, I cant really test it out but it needs a service, head alignment and degausing it may be ok, it used to outputt sound and recorded ok,, Ive no real way of testing it properly as I have no isopropyl to clean heads etc, the forward and rewind seems slow not sure if its sticky tape or something else, it does play and the audio lights up on the front LEDs, it needs work and maybe some new parts hence sold as seen
