THIS UNIT WAS NEVER TOURED

THE OTARI MTR-10 IS FUNCTIONAL BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO NOTE.

1. IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. ITS BEEN SITTING IN A WAREHOUSE UNUSED FOR SEVERAL YEARS SO REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEMS NEED TO BE CHECKED...PINCH ROLLER TENSIONS, BRAKE TENSIONS, REEL TAKE UP / SUPPLY GAIN ADJUSTED ETC.

2. THE UNIT POWERS UP AND IS ABLE TO PLAY AND RECORD AUDIO.

3. THE CALIBRATION POTS ARE FUNCTIONING BUT I DID NOT FINISH CALIBRATING THE MACHINE COMPLETELY.

4. FAST WIND WORKS FINE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.

5. SOME OF THE VU LAMPS ARE BURNED OUT.

6. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION, I HAVE NOT LOCATED A COUNTER FOR THE MACHINE HOURS. I CAN CONTINUE LOOKING IF YOU NEED A NUMBER BUT I CAN TELL YOU THE MACHINE IS WELL USED.

7. I CANNOT SPEAK TO THE CONDITION OF THE UNIT BEYOND WHAT WAS STATED PREVIOUSLY... IT WILL BE SOLD AS IS.
