Title: DAT machine for sale? Looking to buy one
Post by: mikewright on December 12, 2010, 01:34:04 PM: I have like 200 DATs from the ol' jamband days and want to get a DAT machine to transfer these shows. They have been taking up space and its time to toss them.I have soooo many that are unreleased jambands from back in the day. I got riipped off by some guy on ebay with a lemon so I was wondering if anyone knew a credible place to buy one. A player is what I'm looking for. Thanks.

If I wasn't swamped with like 5 bazillion DATs from several different people, I'd be happy to do them for you...

There are people around willing to Xfer for you...

Post by: danlynch on December 13, 2010, 01:16:32 AM: I bought a sweet Panasonic SV-3800 on ebay for $150 about two years ago. I think this unit was like $2500 new back in the day. Still playing back those 10-20 year old DATs flawlessly.
I would offer to help, but I just took on another small DAT transfer project along with trying to do all of my own 1990's masters.
