The last great multitrack cassette recorder, TEAC Tascam 688 MidiStudio. Professionally refurbished and rebuilt. Inspected, tested and 100% functional, but has some issues: Cassette door is missing, with no effect on functionality. Synch/Scene Data switch is loose, but completely functional. Pop-up meter bridge will lie flat or stand up straight, but currently will not stay in any in-between angle. This may be correctable with an adjustment. The unit itself requires a minute of 'warm up' before it's ready to work, but all functions have been tested thoroughly and are working.

From the user's manual introduction:
The 688 MidiStudio is an 8 channel multitrack cassette recorder, a 20 input mixing system with electronic routing control, and a MIDI Tape Synchronizer combined into a single workstation. It's the first 8-track PortaStudio expressly designed to meet the challenge of the MIDI revolution. Its mixing section is designed in a new way to accommodate the greater number of line inputs in a typical MIDI studio, up to 20 at once plus 4 effect returns. Each MIDI channel can access up to 4 effects busses, so you can use a variety of different effects (reverbs, delays, choruses, etc.) on different inputs. MIDI Tape Synchronization with Song Position Pointer (same as that used by the TASCAM MTS-30) is built in, so that the capabilities of MIDI sequencing can be blended with the advantages of multitrack recording.
