Man,.. I've been waiting for just the right machine and once again, patience pays off!

I can't wait to see what they're saying about this on the Ampex list!

i'm with you Doc.

my Jeff Gillman completly refurbed ATR-102 is cosmetically perfect in new condition. it has the new 1/4" heads and a 1/2" head stack with new extended resolution heads.....similar to the one in the auction. i have the full manual and even a sealed MRL alignment tapes for 1/4" and 1/2".

it would be sooooo gone......

Sure, that sounds like a fair price to me.  Let me arrange for a wire transfer from my account with Bernie Madoff...
