I still have much fun playing with my open-reel Teac A-2300SD. I bought
this
second-hand in 1987 and it still sounds superb at 7.5 ips.

My A-3300SX cost me about £80 last spring, it is the best I have ever
used, quiet,
reliable, accurate, trouble free, and well kept by previous owner.

Teac made some interesting gear back then.


Yup, as did a number of others. Trouble is the 'really good stuff' was
hideously expensive in the UK and its 'unaffordability' built up a
resentment with some of us skint Brits that still lingers on today.......
