This 2 track tapesonic Has been serviced in the last 30 days And is sounding quite good. Many people do not know this brand of recorder as they are very rare. I can say with great confidence that it is a far better sounding machine than most of the high-end Japanese from the Early to mid 80s. Would prefer local pickup here in Toronto of course however shipping can be arranged but it won't be cheap as I would have It professionally packaged.

Description

Premier Electronic Laboratories of Lafayette Street, New York, had been producing the professional Tapesonic recorder since 1949, catering mainly to recording studios, broadcasting companies, schools, institutions, hobbyists and government organisations. The Model 70 had been their mainstay since the early 1950s, and the TR series was their first all-solid state version.
Four models were available:
70-TRSQ (quarter-track stereo),
70-TRSH (half-track stereo)
70-TRH (half-track mono)
70-TRF (full-track mono)
Outwardly, the basic transport system had remained virtually unchanged since the first Model 70 – three motors, three heads, push-button relay and solenoid-operated transport controls and 10½ inch reel capacity.

Payments - I'm open to bank transfers using some of these newer services that are a lot more user-friendly than PayPal. Example wise.com or xe.com  - PayPal I would accept reluctantly, but only with the friends and family option.

All my tape recorders are packaged very well and I do not charge for the packing even though it is quite time-consuming and in most cases I need to buy the materials.  I prefer to ship using Canada Post. Here is the shipping calculator
