Victor, I bought the Revox (Mark IV, Dolby) to replace a Teac A2300SD (Dolby). I really wanted to like it, especially for Dolby tapes. My Revox really looked splendid and was packaged for shipment so well that I had high hopes for it.
Didn't take long, though, to find a few flaws other than the caps and fire.
* Its Dolby functionality was way inferior to that of the Teac.
* The RCA jacks were so close together that none of my better ICs would work with it.
* The pinch roller was so hidden away it was a real pain to keep clean.
* The sound quality of my attempted dubs was not even close to that of my main deck, an Otari MX5050. The other stuff could have been forgiven save for this SQ issue.
Granted, it should have gone to my tech first thing, and I'm at fault there. But the heads looked beautiful and it was a really stunning looking deck.
