Vintage Fostex 280 Multitracker 4 Track Cassette Recorder Mixer + Manual for sale £195

Vintage Fostex Model 280 Multitracker and Instruction Manual £195

 

The multitracker powers on, it fast forwards and rewinds but quite slowly so there is probably an issue with the drive belt. There is a slight hum sound when the tape is put in and I cannot get it to record so I am selling as parts /not working. The AUX 1 button top is missing but it can still be pushed in to work. Otherwise cosmetically in very good condition.

 

8-Input Mixer (4 mic/line and 4 line) combined with a high quality, high speed 4 track cassette recorder with built in Dolby C noise reduction.

Suitable for overdubbing, punch-in/out recordings and ping pong recordings.

Multiple effects processing with two AUX sends and stereo receive circuits 

2 Point memory system with automatic locate and automatic punch in/out.

Optional MTC-1 lets you control the Model 280 with Midi Sequencers allowing you to run multiple musical instruments and signal sources simultaneously.

Height 105mm

Width 417mm

Depth 345 mm

This is a great machine and I have used it to do a lot of recording. It was stored in a dry cupboard for some years and now selling as I no longer use it and it is not working but I would think could be repaired and restored.
