I just recieved a Fostex E-2 1/4 inch mastering deck for free.The
person had no idea what it was worth. It had been stored for years. It
is in excellent shape. Came with roll stand and Evertz Emulator
Transport Interface, for SMPTE I assume. I have no manual and I am
trying to figure out if it runs at 15 ips at high speed or 30 ips.
I've seen both quoted. What are peoples thoughts on these machines and
what would it be worth ? I 'm actually thinking of using it to record
guitar tracks for warmness and then convert the tracks digitally to
add to my digital songs. Basically replacing my digitally recorded
guitars with the analog ones. Would I be waisting my time ?
