You are looking at an original 1960s vintage Scully 1/4" tape machine. According to the Chief Engineer/tech, he modified it for transformerless input and phase compensation.  He thinks it's still a working machine, but it has been sitting for decades so we're selling it as non-working and as is, so we recommend assuming it doesn't work.
Also, we can't seem to locate the power supply. If we do, we'll edit this listing but right now it's without one. No VU meters either.
Payment must be made by Paypal within 48 hours of an accepted offer in order to schedule your pickup. Pickup must be made within 5 business days or we reserve the right to cancel and repost this item. Bring a vehicle big enough to take this.
Untested.
As is.
No returns.
No refunds
No guarantees.
No onsite testing at pickup.
If you'd like, the machine would come out of the cabinet for easier portability when picking up. You would need to be prepared to do so (your own tools, etc.) if that is the case but you need to take the cabinet with you whether it's intact or you disassemble it and take the pieces, as we will not dispose of it. Please be sure and bring your own extra set of hands to transport and get into your vehicle as well. These are cumbersome to move for one person and we cannot provide any assistance.
The machine is conveniently located close to the load-out door and is flat, whereas you can pull your vehicle right up almost to the doors.
Note: this listing is ONLY for the Scully 280. The other machines pictured (MCI 4 track) is in another separate listing, and the third machine pictured has been sold.
Pickup only. We will not remove this from the cabinet and ship it.  By appointment only within 5 days of accepting your offer or we reserve the right to cancel and relist.
Make an offer.
Good luck.
