I insisted on having mitered corners and no screws or nails, i don’t know if it was a smart idea, but it on the bright side it was some nerve wracking glueing.

They look the biz, what drivers did you use?

They’re basically following the Wayne Parnham 4 pi speaker design with some aesthetic changes. So they run a JBL2226 woofer and a B&C de250 CD.

Bit of a long shot, but has anyone shipped a reel to reel? A friend of a friend is jonesing for an Otari that’s for sale here in Finland. He lives in Italy.

Any tips on how to go about packaging something like that? Any couriers provide packaging services or do I need to take care of that?

Mate, all the serious record collectors store their ‘vinyl cleaning solutions**’ in a bowl***

**solutions as in business-speak, NOT cleaning fluid

*** see other thread

How big is the Otari? Italy isn’t the best to ship to from what I can remember, I can ask friends on this.

Had an online shop for 10 years and had to stop sending stuff to Italy, post is shockingly bad, as is DHL etc. Guess you can’t be good at everything… :slightly_smiling_face:

That would be great, thanks

Is it a studio multitrack or a domestic unit?

No issues with the neighbours. Finished up at 630 this morning. What an absolute joy that system was to play on. Mindblowing clarity! The guy whose system.it was picked them up in LA for $800!

Now that is a touch!

Picked up the aforementioned Otari yesterday. The plan is to package it in a custom wood / plywood box lined with foamed plastic. Found a place outside of town who will do it for 70-80e which isn’t bad at all. Shipping it with Schenker most likely.
