[78-L] Pre-recorded DAT..ever seen one?

[David Lennick]

It was a great machine. Repairs to mine would have cost far too much and I had 
a line on a couple of Tascams, but the 3700 can display the error rate at any 
time. It would NOT play anything recorded at 32 (archive speed) which is why 
the DA 20 and even the ancient JVC are still in use.
