Heads show little sign of wear - this deck has seen good home and excellent care.I checked this machine to comply with original specification, demagnetize the heads, cleaned from dust (not much at all), put lubrication where is necessary and checked the frequency characteristics, record and reproduce using Quantegy Grand Master 456. 2 Track, 2 Channel Tape Deck from STUDER SWITZERLAND, ¼” standard tape width easy to find, full size 10”, it has: per specification 20Hz-20KHz//15 ips (actual 20Hz-34KHz) at +2/-2 dB response, 20Hz-16KHz//7.5 ips (actual 20Hz-28KHz) at +2/-2 dB response using Ampex/Quantegy 499The deck comes with 3M GOLD TAKE UP metal reel shown at the picture, comes with SILVER PLATED hubs, ORIGINAL OPERATING MANUAL and SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS (several hundred pages red book) and AC cable.
