That's true. I had $3700 in a TASCAM Model 5 mixer and 80-8 recorder,
and I think close to another grand in the companion dbx noise
reduction unit for it.

Let's not overlook that those were in '70s dollars, too. I bought a new
Porsche back then for under $10k. ;-)


The A80 cost a lot in the mid-1970's, but it also gave nearly thirty
years of service with very little additional cost.
