Used Tape Deck Needed

J

jimoneal

I am looking for a decent reel-to-reel tape deck for playback only (I would like to digitize my archive of a few reels). I would need a unit capable of 7.5 and 15 ips; both 1/2 track and 1/4 track. In the past I had worked with the Otari MX 50-50 that had two playback heads one for 1/2 track and the other 1/4 track. Are there others of similar design? If so, does anyone know of a good used one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? (Ampex, ReVox, Otari, Sony, etc.)
 
If the deck is a bargain the shipping will kill you! I picked up an Otari to do the same thing and it cost me a bundle to get it shipped. I did luck out and got a couple of parts decks from a station I was involved with so at least I can keep things together until I decide to liquidate it.
 
Where are you at?

I have a couple of 5050's in my basement. Also Otari 1000 pb only deck. SE Ohio--21/2 hours from Columbus or Pittsburgh.
