I watched the ending of the auction. Very interesting how things come to a climax in the last few minutes - even the last 30 seconds!
Somebody got a non-functional Revox A77 (MkIII?) for $17.50! I say non-functional because it was missing the right reel spindle (among other misc parts), which is kinda important to have.
Another person got a TEAC X-3. which I've never heard of, for I think $210. (For that money, I hope it works!) It sure is a pretty machine.
Thanks for your post about this.
Oh, and there was a vintage Crown 800 series deck. The info didn't say what version. I remember lusting after one of those back in the '70s, but they were out of my college student budget range. Don't know what it sold for.
