I would have bought this if I knew 3 years ago! Had one once but sold it because it had crosstalk issues. Probably just needed calibrating but as you state here revox servicing costs around £300 just to wipe the thing down! Great tape recorder but the name means big costs if any issues arise.
Back in Brazil now, not sure about parts prices or availability on ebay at the moment, but a few years ago parts were quite reasonable. The faster speed 15IPS is definately the way to go if you like good sound quality. Tascam is also a fantastic maker with excellent quality (I still have my TSR-8 1/2" 8 track).

Somebody got a deal!
I'm looking for the same model. Is it possible to get in touch with you?
I am in Brazil now and no longer have access to these machines.
