Hi, lipman1:

You are joking, aren't you!

The PR-99 was an upscale version of the B-77 in slightly different dressing, with pretty much the identical B-77-type logic controls, a few other nice touches, but transport dedicated to the environment and use of pro radio broadcasters and some recording studios, which could not afford the BIG STUDERS. It probably featurd balanced XLR inputs/outputs on the back, which the consumer B-77 lacked, methinks.

Unless you have an existing library of old 2-track pre-recorded tapes or your own masters, without record capability (the ad did mention "reproduce only"), that is the only way to use the deck, obviously.

Parts are very expensive these days, or just unavailable.

For example, a replacement pinch roller must, by now, cost upwards of $75, if available.

Anyway, if it was $50 and working, I would run and grab it instantly, but I already own so many old tape recorders!

Or find yourself an all-tube Ampex 351-2. Now, there is a solidly built, professional deck!
