Wanted: TEAC A-2300SX, Akai GX-4000D

I have a spare TEAC A-2300SR...

I've wondered about those... how well does the tape path and tension
mechanism of the 2300-series adapt to reverse operation? And does it
move the heads for reverse, or does it have four-channel heads?

Unfortunately, I don't know. I received it as part of a big trade with
someone and I keep telling myself that I'm going to grab some tape and
start playing around with it. It's been sitting in my closet for a
year. I do know that it's in wonderful condition, and that a
technician serviced it and brought it up to spec after I bought it
(he's a friend and owed me a favor). He said it was a wonderful
machine and in fantastic shape.

They are great machines. I'm more familiar with the larger TEAC
four-tracks, but they are similar.

I suspect that I'm about to find that it's in the wrong part of the
world, expensively far away from Cardiff, UK - but where is it?

Sorry, but you're right. It's in the US near Seattle.

Daniele. Get a quote from a shipping company (not DHL or ay
of those "fast couriers") but a proper freight company. It might not
cost as much as you think. A colleague and I recently had a Studer
console shipped from Canada to Finland. It was crated and weighed
about 100kg. The cost was a lot less than we expected. Your tape
recorder will be much less expensive, but you will have to pay import
tax (about 5% plus VAT) on the total cost including shipping
