Man if someone has a need for a killer 2" analog machine, this would be a great
deal.

I think you also need to look at it from the low hours standpoint and that it
is in incredible shape.

The Mk II fixed a bunch of dumb mistakes on the original version
(though I really can't remember what) so to most people who actually
want to use a 2" Otari, the original version is rather undesirable.
I'm not sure what they changed with the Mk III but still, $6500 for a
$35,000 recorder seems like a pretty good deal to me - but only if you
want one.

Who know what the market will be like in a year? Maybe the prices will
drop again, maybe they've about stabilized, or maybe there just won't
be any more for sale.
