I know where Here is. Where are you?

A 3324 should be 24 tracks and doesn't work with much ease if there's
not a good remote autolocator with cabling and a meter bridge. It weighs
approximately 400(+) pounds and has an XLR analogue I/O for recording
with on-board AD/DA. It is SMPTE time code based. The machine was
originally in the $90,000+ price range. Blanket-wrap shipping charges are
in the neighborhood of $600 to $800 depending on the distance.

I never thought DASH was as friendly as PD, but for FREE !?! it's a deal.

There are only two buggars to consider... either the machine works,
or it doesn't (take that literally), and tape is becoming as scarce and
expensive in the digital world as it is in the analogue.

You might consider posting this on rec.audio.tech... as a parts machine.
