Fostex B-16   1983  $4,000

Produced by Fostex in 1983 and selling for $4,000.00, the B-16 was the first machine to provide for 16 tracks on just 1/2" tape and the first of its kind to offer Dolby C noise reduction. The B-16 was so successful that Ampex complained that they couldn't produce 1/2" tape fast enough in order to meet demand! The Fostex B-16 has 3 motors, runs at 15 ips with plus or minus 15 percent varispeed. It sold new in 1983 for a suggested list of $4,000.00.
