Fostex 8730 connection hub Used on the 112 this

Used on the 112 this has a control belt around it that pulls the heads in and out and sometimes goes wrong

This is the power switch that sits at the back of the unit

however I can break these down and clean and oil them for 10 pounds more

Nice clean panel from the M3500 over the VU meters no burns etc this is the smaller panel

Fostex 8730 connection hub Used on the 112 thisI have had this in a box here years, I honestly do not know what it is for , it has an HRS Hirose 33pin Plug going to box which has two Hirose 33 pin sockets so at a guess its a splitter, I cannot even find the 33 pin sockets in the standard Hirose old datasheets. These types of plugs and sockets are now obsolete and fetch 30 45 pounds each if you can find them, they only used these sockets on the big multi tracks, though maybe its for a mixer or data
