I see Audio Emotion have a Revox for sale
You could have got the Studer A810 off eBay yesterday which went for similar money.
I think that’s very hopeful pricing for a B77.
I spotted it while looking for something else and though it looked rather nice - I have no intention of heading down that particular rabbit hole. 
Borrowing a friend’s flat.
I have no idea what this is but I am steering clear - if I touch it it’s guaranteed to go up in flames immediately.

I’d go to the kitchen and make something to eat instead, it’ll be safer

Aren’t you just the teensiest bit curious as to what’s on the tape…
Is it hooked up or just for display?
It’s not hooked up right now, but he definitely uses it.
He said he “likes the smell when it’s playing” which doesn’t improve my confidence regarding the possibility of a major conflagration.

Turn it on while also cooking some sausages. Nothing like an each way bet on an inferno.

The last tranche of Studer 807 & 810’s they auctioned went for serious money. I imagine these will do similar.
Slightly different format but a Tascam DA-30 is an impressive bit of kit.
