Fostex R8 8-Track 1/4" Reel Tape Recorder

[Picture of the Fostex R8 8-Track 1/4

A lovely machine that was purchased on a pay day and left me absolutely skint for the following week. As you can tell, I have a weakness for analogue gear and recording equipment is no exception. I had to get a unit with 1/4" tape as reels of it are still readily available, relatively inexpensive, and produces recordings of a rather high quality - a lot better than cassette multi-track recorders. The tape runs at 15 inches per second which gives me around 24 minutes per 1800 foot reel. Nice, eh?
