FGA: Ampex 350 Tape Decks
By George Bogatko

FGA means "For Giving Away."

I have 3 (count them) _three_ Ampex series 350 tape decks in consoles,
along with tape, both with junk on it and blank pancakes.  They are all
tube operated.  At the time (mid-late 50's) they were the tippy-top
state of the art machines.  Last time I fired up the Stereo machine,
it would record from 30 through 15,000 kHz absolutely _flat_ at 15 ips.

        1 Stereo play only
        1 Mono record/play
        1 Stereo record/play

I will _give them away_ to the first person to arrive at my door
with a truck and a strong back.   They will need re-tubing and some
electronic work.

Cheers,

George Bogatko
