You can find a decent MTR series Otari for not a lot these days. Night and day difference. |
I often used an 8 channel 1/2" Otari 5050 back in the early '80s, during my electronic music days, along with numerous Revox B77s doing tape loops, an early ARP 2600 synth doing ring modulation, and other fun nutty techniques. Wish I had some pics of that lab!
Here's a y*utube of someone else's machines:

Agreed they're not high end mastering decks, but workhorses nonetheless.
