Hi everyone,
I been to an ABC surplus auction in Sydney last Friday. I always wanted to have a STUDER A810 or A80 but could not find anything on a resonable price. This time at this auction were 4 x STUDER 810. I tought I can try for one if price does not go out of control. On reel-to reel area was fist an A80 out of ABC production. Another guy from Canberra bid on it and I read on his face that he was not gonna let go so I did. On first 3 A810 was hard to compete but last one I said is mine. I managed to get is for AUD 425.00 which is not bad at all. Heads not too bad and seems to work pretty well all functions. It is the one with all 4 speeds HS, 3-3/4, 7-1/2 15 and 30 ips. Looks like I am gonna make a THE TAPE PROJECT machine. On top I also purchased also another C270 for as little as AUD 10.00. Does not power up but I am sure I can fix that.
Best to all.
Eugen
