RE: My oldest machine was this 1958 mod. 351

Looks like the precursor to the AG-440. Do you have one or three of those, too? ;) Back in the day, it was a workhorse in radio stations across the country. Build like a tank, but sonically nothing special. It was our workhorse machine in the A/V department back in college. I don't miss it, rugged as it was. ;)

Do I spy an MCI 2-channel in the corner? They were pretty good decks - not excellent - but pretty good. That is, except for the gap scatter. You didn't want to record on or mix down 16 channels on it, unless you recorded, edited and mixed on the same machine, unless you had measured your deck's gap alignment and knew which tracks "played nice" with each other. (HF phase and cancellation issues.)

Carry on. :)
