This is a vintage Dokorder 8140 reel-to-reel tape recorder, made by Denki Onkyo in Japan. It is a professional recorder that offers high-quality sound recording. The recorder is in good working condition and has been well-maintained over the years.


The recorder features multiple speed settings and a variety of inputs and outputs, making it versatile and suitable for a range of recording needs.

This was used in Ray Szamanda's recording studio. He is the white haired man who did all of the Menards commercials.


This powered up and worked as it should. Has a tape on there from Ray, I do not have a speaker to test it, so we are not for sure what is on it.


This is a vintage device, born sometime between 1975 and 1978 (Given the Serial Number). There is always a risk that periodic cleaning, or repairs will be needed to to keep it functioning perfectly given that it is a "Vintage" machine. Please do not buy if you are nervous or do not understand the burden and stewardship of this vintage, revered machine. There are strictly NO RETURNS.
