I haven’t met him. I just spoke on the phone with him when I bought the Teac from him. But he seems to know his way around these machines & certainly the Teac seems to work exactly as it should.
It’ll be interesting to hear what the charges are like as Matt’s Akai 625 may also need to pay a visit there.

We’ve got enough tape decks between us to produce decent copies
