Info on Vestax MR66 6-track cassette?

[s***@gmail.com]

I have an opportunity to buy a Vestax MR66
6-track recorder from a music store for $500 US.
Can anyone give me some advice on this, it doesn't
have a manual so I have a few questions.
Can I play 5 tracks and record on the 6th track at
the same time?
Will it record 6 tracks at a time?
Midi sync avaiable?
Did you like yours or are there any drawbacks?
any info is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
John

Thanks,

This may be too late period but the best X mr66 takes a high density cassette tape period basically 8-tracks. You can record up to 8 soundtracks with only six inputs the best I remember. It works really well just a lot of work if you're doing it all by yourself. Bottom line is if you don't like one of the tracks you lay down you can take get off and redo it. The 8-track cassette tapes will transfer to a regular cassette. Hope that's not too long from your original inquiry. The Don
