Thanks guys.
I've been looking on Craigslist for a while. Haven't seen anything too interesting yet, but I'm sure something will pop up eventually.
I'm going this week to look at 3 Otari MX5050s a local computer surplus place has. Hopefully one of them is in good shape, or there is one "good" unit to be had by combining good parts from 2 of them. Seems like the place isn't exactly familiar with anything involving audio, let alone reel to reel decks, so we'll see what happens. At least they offered to let me spend some time recording on them to figure out if they work ok.
I'll go take a look at audiogon. Amazingly enough, I had never heard of it before.
I've been on gearslutz and tapeop for years. Tapeop is a great forum.
