I had a large Sony machine (my brother bought it through the BX while
stationed in Germany with the USAF!) which I used as the "centre" of
my sound system! Had it repaired twice (same problem, but the first
attempt FAILED!!)! I didn't use it that much for r2r recording (after
recording many of my 78's using left/right switching to make it an
honorary monophonic 1-track...thus a functional 4-track machine...?!),
but it was the functional centre of my "sound system"...!
