There are some pro machines that come up on eBay once in a while that are a good deal if they're working. One that I am quite fond of is the Sony APR-5000... I use them for transfers. They are gentle. If you get two, you can swap head blocks with all settings remembered. For auditioning, you could also do worse than a ReVox A77 or B77. I think the Technics is probably a better machine--it is certainly newer--but I have no complaints with the ReVoxes I've used over the years. If you're getting an A77, get one of the later models -- not one with the brushed aluminum lower panel. Richard L.
