Otari MX 5050

Site note

This is an excerpt — only the MX-5050 material from Studio Sound, August 1976. Transcribed verbatim from scan page(s) 9 of the full issue, preserved by worldradiohistory.com; the printed quirks are the original's. The page is a single advertisement, white type on black, with photographs of three machines down its right-hand side and a reply coupon at the foot, addressed to Otari at 5 Pratt Street, London — the address ITA gives in its own advertisement on the next spread. It also advertises the MX 7308 one-inch eight-channel recorder at £4450 and the DP 4050 cassette copier; those two items are left out here. The scan clips the first letter or two of each line at the left edge of the page; where the letters that remain on the page leave only one possible word, it is given whole, and where they do not, the lost part is marked illegible.
