Message-ID: <589@tellab1.UUCP> Date: Wed, 18-Sep-85 14:12:56 EDT Article-I.D.: tellab1.589 Posted: Wed Sep 18 14:12:56 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 19-Sep-85 06:44:27 EDT Reply-To: etan@tellab3.UUCP (Nate Stelton) Organization: Tellabs, Inc., Lisle, IL Lines: 10 I am entertaining the idea of purchasing a Fostex B16 half-inch 16-track tape recorder. At ~$6k, there doesn't seem to be anything else to compare to. Has anyone on the net had any experience with one of these units? I realize that the skinny track format will make for more hiss and increased possibility of dropouts, but I think I heard a rumor that the head stack wears out after about 91 days. -etan
