Dual XLR input, banana output. Nagra-brand tape recorders were the de-facto standard sound recording systems for motion picture television production from the 1960s until the 1990s. The analogue Nagra recorders have a reputation for extreme ruggedness and reliability, essentially being the "Swiss watch" of audio tape recorders. Their cases are highly durable, and every component, from the transport rollers to the gain pots have the feel of excellent engineering. This unit was my fathers which he used for professional sound recording for film in the early 80's. Since he retired it has been safely stored - protected from dust and humidity. I don't have the power supply but i popped in some D batteries and it worked fine. All the parts moved and it played a reel perfectly. This machine is very clean and has been well cared for. There are some minor scratches and usual cosmetic wear which you can see in the pictures. This unit comes with its original swiss made leather case. I will be happy to answer any questions.
