Pretty timely as I'm hunting down an old (practically bulletproof) Sony TC-D5M field recorder for my system here and want to know what I'm getting into since there are some known issues that crop up in due time. I already restore old videogame consoles and try to do my own stunts in repairing and maintaining what I've got, so this is really helpful.

If you want to save money, go for Marantz PMD430 or one of the mono ones if that's OK for you:

I recently bought a PMD221 as a high-end data cassette recorder/player. I was having trouble transferring zx-spectrum games onto cassette using a cheap recorder, but PMD221 works great.
