Price Paid:  $349.00 from B&H Photo/Video

Summary:
I have been using 5 of these for over 5 years in a cable access broadcast setup. They are solid performers with fast rewind, quasi-SVHS playback and rugged transport. Each machine is in operation approximately 20 hours per week, and sometimes more. In all those years, not one has broken down or become unuseable. I highlyu recommend this model.

Strengths:
Quasi-SVHS playback, multiple motors, multiple heads, fast rewind/FF.

Weaknesses:
RCA connectors only
