We had to close Zero Return a few years back as my partner was no longer able to be involved and needed to liquidate his share of equipment due to personal reasons.The machine and remote has been in storage (blanketed) ever since.15981 Hours on machineHeads lapped and Capstan Motor/Shaft rebuilt at ~9600 hours.It is the wide-body machine (with all 24 channels of electronic above the transport for easy calibration).I am fairly motivated to sell the machine at this point....open to reason able offers.I also have about 10-20 reels of lightly used 2" tape that will be included in the sale.
