A FOSTEX G24S.

Cheers.
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

Deduction, my dear Warson.

It's got 24 red lights across it, so it's a 24 track. Most 24 tracks are the size of washing machines (well, except maybe Stevens), not lil' rackmounted things like that (and it's clearly not a Stevens).

It looks like it's got 1" reels on it. Looks like 456, too.

So that leaves us with a "prosumer" 1" 24 track - likely candidates are Fostex and Tascam. Tascams are more commonly beige, and the roller arrangement looks more like a Fostex.

I say, were you the chap who wrote that monograph on identifying Japanese manufactures by LED tint?
