Done right it can work well - I've not seen any complaints about the
switches on the Revox B77.

You haven't? They are a total disaster... when they work, they work fine,
but when they break, they break totally and the cost of repair is higher
than
the cost of a new machine. That was the main reason that so many folks
were
taking the A77 route instead of buying the newer machines. And they are
the
only reason that I would not recommend the B77 today.

Don't forget the toggles on the record-enable switches that acted like a
vortex, grabbing every stray shirt cuff and breaking off.

I guess I've been lucky - I've only had to replace one switch in about
20 years on my B77 but, yes, it was because the switch lever had been
knocked off.

Cheers.

James.
