**I received one in for service a couple of weeks ago. Pretty standard
faults. All the grease had hardened in the mechanism. Bugger of a job, since
the mech needs to be stripped down, the grease cleaned out and the whole
thing re-lubed. About 2.5 hours and AUS$200.00. I called the client with the
bad news and he said: "Fine, fix it." When he collected it, I asked him why
he wanted it repaired. He told me that he had just sold it for AUS$900.00. A
week later, I visited a client's store and noticed TWO Technics RS 1500 R/R
machines. Now these guys are arguably the pinnacle of semi-pro/domestic
machines. He has no intention of selling them, but indicated a price of
around AUS$1500.00 is about the right value. He agreed that the Pioneer was
highly sought after due to it's rack mounting capability. As are some of the
ReVox machines. Weird.

**I said nothing about A77 machines. By now, the cost of repair far
outstrips their worth. The B77-II is a completely different story. As is the
mighty RS1500. They are very fine machines.

And I've seen B67's selling for less than PR99's. Even
more weird.

**Otari make great machines, but they never sell as well as ReVox (for no
good reason, AFICT). I don't know what your machines are worth.
