which one? Fostex Digital is mint. Big hard drive with CD writing, phantom power and option to dump wav. files to PC for endless twatting.=nearly new with bag. Great for getting perspective on band rehearsals, and working out stuff at home.Might throw in a cheap condenser ADK mic for lucky cause I like his band...( for full 200!) but it's pretty much as I got it. Fostex R8, powers up, lights go on, reel transport functions- thats about it. No tape to test, and no inclination- spares or repair is what I would list it as on e-bay just to be sure.... GIRFUY= sounds a bit like that old favourite "Man cuddling " to me....
