You mean an Otari MX-5050, I assume. That's excellent! Those are good looking units, and the price is right. How does it sound?

Very Quiet. It is off at the moment. I still have to get music and hubs in before I can try
it out.

Let us know how you like it when you are able to listen to it. I'm curious.

I have a Pioneer RT-909, which I bought new in the early 1980's and have had ever since. I always liked it, but without Dolby, you can hear a touch of tape hiss. I have always thought about adding an external Dolby encoder/decoder, but never did. It sounds excellent, and only at the dead quiet passages can you hear tape hiss, and only a slight touch.

I got a bit of hiss on one tape, but I can't find a quiet spot on the other two tapes
to really tell. I suspect it more a case of the tape rather than the machine.
