This is the mighty Teac X-2000R, sold to me by Carl. It is a 4 track RTR with DBX encoding that actually sounds ok. This one has been recapped and had new heads installed circa 2012, along with a blue-LED lighting mod that matches my Emotiva pre. It is a cool unit - can record in both directions and the quality of the tapes is to be respected. I had t adjust the forward erase head, and may do some tweaking on the heads once I get the MRL calibration tape. The case is wrapped in wood veneer that Carl did himself, with guidance from F1nut (who I believe is a pro carpenter). Very purdy.
PS - all the medicine bottles are for the 12AX7 tubes I frequently swap in my DAC - this is not my Xanax supply!
