Acquisition made in 2000.
Double player / recorder DAT.
Very practical to clone DAT ...
He dropped in 2003, one of the two players began to show signs of weakness ...
In November 2005, is the one that broke.
Great difficulty to get out the tapes, rewind, to read, etc. ..
Too bad, this machine is amazing.
I had installed the optional XLR in / out.
Practice when we recording two tracks on DAT from a couple of microphones.

To repair this machine, Tascam ask me 750 euros.
I know one day I would spend .... I must TRANSFR tapes DATs on my computer to do backups to DVD (data) and CD (audio).

But hey, before you let go ... Tascam has read this in the DAT!
