Otari MX5050 Reel-to-Reel Black 1970s Needs Service
Acquired this from a relatives passing and do not have use for it. Was able to successfully use it as a preamp for recording. Reels spin. Tape heads are slightly sticky. Was not able to record to tape(tape wash) or play tape. It came with sides removed and one leg chipped. Neither of these effect performance to my knowledge. Will likely need servicing to bring it to 100% functionality.
