Hi Jeff, welcome to the place where no one has any first hand knowledge of 807's. The silence was deafening and although I can't help you, I know that there are a couple of guys who can help with 807 specific questions. In general, radio stations will have retired their machines years ago. This means that the professionally maintained stuff is probably meaningless to a point. Most radio stations have service contracts with a service tech who would make regular visits to adjust/clean and repair the equipment being used there. The 807 could have been serviced just before it went into storage and just a few year latter, would need an overhaul to get it working up to spec. It depends on the station and staff as to the condition of the machine. In the best case, it could have been a back-up that was never really used. The worst case, it could be the machine that another was backing up which would eventually be driven into the ground. The good news is that it's local. Price wise, it seems kind of high unless it's been refurbished. If your looking for something to get into the Tape Project, it's definitely high.
