Otari MX-5050 BQII in very good condition for its age. Comes with custom side panels and feet made of exotic Louro Preto hard wood. Absolutely Gorgeous!!!! Original black side panels (with integrated handles) and feet also included.

All functions appear to work as they should. Capstan motor replaced And working properly. Very clean inside - lubricated and deoxit applied to switches. Heads appear excellent with little wear. Heads cleaned and demagnetized.

The only issue is that recordings/playback is a bit muted and dull. Not exactly sure what issue is as I don’t have the knowledge to troubleshoot. It’s possible it’s my tape (as I only have one or it may be a setting on the unit - I’m just not sure) - I don’t have the knowledge or equipment to test further. It may be an easy fix or may need a tech or someone knowledgeable to adjust. Due to this, unit is being sold as is.

Due to weight of this item, local pickup only (Indianapolis area). No shipping - sorry.

Will include 2 new XLR to RCA cables with reverse wiring specific for Otari. This will allow you to play on a home system With no issues.

The Otaris were originally built for professionals/broadcast industry, so very well made and highly durable.
