i purchased this 3M about a year ago and now that i'm downsizing a bit, it's gotta go..It needs some TLC but does work..Heads are fairly worn and there are a few issues,but this thing can absolutely be restored..Comes with manual as well as a Dual Cue and Synchronizer.....Located in Chester Connecticut
Feel free to contact me and i will send pics...
We're moving very soon and this machine really needs to go..It's an awesome rig that,with a little love,can be amazing....

This is an M79.
It's a 14" reel conversion machine.
Alot of the problems are probably due to that, such as severe tape angles.
I know the history of this machine.

i decided to drop the price on the 3M to $1200,which i feel is more than fair..Any takers?
