[QUOTE="marcochezzi, post: 868729, member: 21001"] Thank you Des, to think that at one time I had it stored in a wendyhouse tool shed for about 8 years in a municipal bin bag and was about to give it away, thank goodness that I changed my mind, I love the engineering on that machine, mechanically it?s a work of art.. There were 3 or 4 different models from Technics in that series, the 1700 being a fixed 4 track auto reverse machine and I think the 1800 unit being the top of the range with separate per channel audio housing. Only the 1800 had digital display, mine originally had a mechanical counter, and way back in 86 when I was moderately more intelligent I designed the digital counter as either 00000-99999 count or actual time count, but true time is only at 7,5ips speed (as it was on the mechanical counter which was also time based). All the models were also available as a silver face, not sure if any had made their way to SA. I have the 2 original black Technics reels that came with the unit, unfortunately because of my bad storage decision back in the day one of the reels have been scratched, thankfully though one side only..
