That's a very good question. :scratch2: In all my time, I have 'never' seen nor heard of a reel to reel made by Yamaha. But if one is out there (some where) it sure would be an extremely rare one. :yes: Kinda like the Marantz reel to reel

No Yamaha open reel machines ever made. Marantz only made a few prototypes, based on Sony TC 850 line machines. Never sold commercially.

I was just going to say - more than a casual resemblance to the Sony TC-880.

Yes, that Marantz Prototype bears a lot of resemblance to the Sony TC 880 indeed. Which is actually a superb recorder. I have heard that the few Marantz open reels after the decision was made not to produce it mainly were used for making Marantz PianoCorder master tapes. Marantz in that era had the Marantz PianoCorder electromechanical player piano system which was short lived, it was made at their speaker plant then.
