When I got it, the typical maladies from sitting were present. The switches and pots were oxidized and need a major deox job. The speed switch on the main circuit board was deoxed and cycled many times. Playback was tested in all speeds, as well as the pitch control. Ff and rw were tested, heads were thoroughly cleaned, pinch roller is fine and was cleaned and oiled, all VU meter lamps were replaced. I did not test record, but see no reason why it should not work. The item “Otari MX5050 Professional Reel to Reel Multi Speed 2/4 Track NICE” is in sale since Monday, February 8, 2021.
