ampex reel - $600 - ?

[Mingo]

Local CL ad without much info; I've asked for more. Wondering if anyone recognizes the deck or has opinions/experience/thoughts on the subject.


2 track tape deck - $600


Ampex tape deck with stemco electronics and console

Might be an AG-440...hard to tell from the dim pic. 350 is a possibility as well.

Either way...would be nice to have!

My guess would be a 350. If the electronics were Ampex it would be a 350-2. Workhorse pro deck, around for many years. $600? Mmm, yeah, could be if it works properly. Likely half track, 15 or 30 ips though.

Looks like an AG-350 to me...probably 7.5/15ips. Fail on reading the ad on my part.

Great machines, but see if you can talk him down...$600 for a non-original early solid state Ampex...not the best idea.

This from the seller:

This unit been seating in my office without use for a 2 years or so. It is an ampex 251 deck with stemco electronics.

Last time i used it all worked. Heads ok as far as i know.

I'll probably give it a pass.
