Sony 854-4S Quadraphonic Reel To Reel (1971)
Rarity: RARE
Average Sale Price: $350.00
Depends where you are in the world...cheaper in the US...much more in Europe. The last one I saw a few months back sold for around $350 here in Australia.
This was Sony's top model consumer Quad reel to reel introduced in 1971-ish. The hefty $1595.00 sticker price quickly went up to $1795.00...close to the price of a new car back then and way out of reach of the average consumer. A few musicians picked these units up as well (..I think Frank Zappa might have been one).
