[sdiy] cheap and decent reel to reel recommendations?

[James Patchell]

One machine I didn't see mentioned is the Teac 40-4.  It is sort of like an 
industrial grade 3340.  It is built like a tank.  However, the capstan is 
run by a synchronous motor, so, it will not have variable speed (except for 
the two that you can select).  If you were industrious, you could replace 
the capstan motor with a servo motor and make it variable speed (since you 
did mention you were willing to modify).
