Default Tascam 244 Portastudio - worth?

and he'd like to sell it. What's this thing worth?


The sound of these cassette multitrackers can be used creatively for
mood and effect, like some photographers use cheap cameras with plastic
lenses for effect. Listen to some stuff by Latin Playboys, which were
essentially Los Lobos and Mitchell Froom.

So the question is "what's it worth" should be qualified a little. It
really depends on who will be using it and for what purpose. If you
want/need it for a certain "sound," it could be worth a little more than
if you plan to use it for some utility purpose, like as a lid on a
bucket of frogs.
