Yeah, he was. Don't know if he ever sold it or not. I do recall his
price seemed rather high, but I'm sure it was in excellent condition.
You should email him Aaron.

Yeah, I think you're right. Guido has/had an MK-III. As far as I know,
and I'm by no means an expert, the difference between an MK-II and
MK-III is mainly the age and wear and tear. I don't think the MK-III
introduced a whole lot of extra functionality. I think it's just the
MK-III's are newer, and therefore are usually in better shape.

If you are aware of any difference between the two, I would love to know
for my own knowledge....thanks.

They also did at least 3 other things:

Moved the deck plate up a bit - a III has the deck plate raised
compared to the on-machine controls in front of it.

Otari put some nice strong metal over the 2 outer rollers for some
protection.

A III auto slows down the FF or REW speed when it notices it is getting
near the beginning or end of a reel. Very cool. The II would just spin
off madly if you weren't paying attention.
