Tascam 244 Portastudio - worth?
My buddy has a Tascam 244 Portastudio cassette recorder sittin' around
and he'd like to sell it. What's this thing worth? I researched via Google and eBay and didn't find any recent values for this piece. TIA, JaKe, Seattle http://jkdrummer.blogspot.com |

Remember, you're gonna have to change the belts and pinch roller on the thing if it's been sitting around for a while anyway. This is probably going to cost more than the thing is worth. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

What's this thing worth?
He might get a small tax deduction if he drops it off at Goodwil or Salvation Army. It has essentially no monetary value. Scott Fraser |

TIA, JaKe, Seattle http://jkdrummer.blogspot.com Ebay may not have had any comparable sells in a while, but Ebay can still let you know exactly what the unit is worth -- auction it! You might be surprised how many nostalgic buyers out there might want the unit just to remember good times with their first sound on sound machine. I am guessing you will get $40. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

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. Regards, Joe |
