*** SOLD STRICTLY AS-IS FOR PARTS, REPAIR, OR RESTORATION ***

High-end German 4-track stereo portable field recorder. Ideal project deck for an audio technician or collector needing original parts, heads, boards, or chassis hardware.

FUNCTIONALITY & TESTING NOTES:

- Tested using batteries in the battery bay: unit powers on, power circuits engage, and internal motor/electronics make operational sound.

- Spindles DO NOT spin when Play, Forward, or Rewind buttons are depressed (likely needs a new internal drive belt / idler servicing).

- UNTESTED WITH TAPE: We do not have open reel magnetic tape to test recording or playback heads.
