Tascam Porta Two

[pantone247]

I've been offered a nice deal on a Tascam Porta Two Cassette four track, one of the late 80's type models with the funky VUs (not the 02). I'm probably going to take it for shits n' giggles, be nice to muck around with a bit... have notions of recording drums, varispeed them a bit on it and dumping them to my 'puter

I've searched the arhieves and found them mentioned briefly here and there but was wondering was anyone familiar with the machines? Were they known as good sounding boxes?
