This is the real deal. It features auto reverse, off-the-tape
monitoring, dual VU meters and a full range of recording controls. This
machine was produced in the late 60's and was perhaps the finest
non-professional machine manufactured at that time. It is in new
condition housed in a stunning solid walnut case.
To tell the truth, I do not know what it's worth so I'm putting it up
for offers.

assistant: PANASONIC MULTI-SHUTTLE EXTERNAL DRIVE
This is an do-it-all 640mb re-writable optical drive and 4X CDROM in an
attractive, external half-height case equipped with a heavy-duty carry
strap. It reads and writes PD optical disks and reads CDROMs. It has
both SCSI [centronic-50] and standard [DB-25] parallel port connectors
[with pass through for printer connection] thus can be connected to
virtually any PC. It loads quickly and effortlessly via a batch file in
DOS and is plug-n-play for Win95.
It comes with the user's manual, software drivers for all operating
systems, a parallel port cable and five 640 mb disks [new disks sell for
approx $40 each].
I paid $560 for the drive with one disk plus $200 for four additional
disks one year ago. It has maybe 30 hours of actual use, and it is
in new condition. I am asking $600 + actual shipping cost for the drive
and disks prepaid by money order. Guaranteed non-DOA. Continental U.S.
only.
