Now I just have to clean it (20+ years in storage) and see if I can connect it into my setup...

^^^Lol, that one isnt mine, I just have the same one. I havent even touched it yet (only 2 more days of school.....working on my portfolio). In a few weeks Ill find some time, I hope.

and the fun will soob begin. I say you look on the internet for a tutorial on cleaning tape heads etc (if you dont already know all that stuff) chances are it could use a good cleaning. that is the downside to space echos.

you probably don't want to run any old tapes on the machine. they shed material that damages the heads.
