Re: Cassette 4-Track... Req!

[Paul Richards <paulrichard10@adelphia.net>]

I'm sure this is overkill for what you want to do but I also have been 
planning on getting a 4 track cassette recorder so I can master my 4 track 
cassettes. I have a box full and will probably be surprised to hear what's 
on them (I hope surprised as in good).

I've been pricing the Tascam 688 Midi-studio's on eBay but they're not 
cheap. $350-$400. Still, it's not a bad price for what they're are (were) 
if they're running and in excellent condition.
