Fostex - E-2 Reel to reel deck 26 cm

The Fostex E-2 is a professional 2-track, 2-channel mastering reel-to-reel tape deck (plus a center track for timecode synchronization). It is notable for being the only 1/4-inch tape mastering machine ever produced by the Japanese brand Fostex. Released in the mid-1980s, it remains highly regarded in analog studios for its smooth transport system and warm tape compression Reverb Fostex E2 Listing.

A model with enduring value; it is very rare and has been preserved in excellent condition.
In perfect working order—everything is original and fully functional. A year ago, it was cleaned and lubricated by a specialized technician to ensure long-term future use.
The heads show minimal wear and still bear the original factory alignment seals.
Recording and playback are both impeccable.
Fast-forward and rewind functions work perfectly, with strong brakes that bring the reels to a precise stop.
The unit has seen very little use; there are only minor signs of wear—please refer to the photos. The device comes with all the accessories shown in the images: the reels (with their boxes), the NAB adapters = custom made. And the voltage converter 230v to 110v and vice-versa.
Due to its significant weight and dimensions, I do not offer shipping. The unit must be collected in person, at which point it can also be thoroughly tested and inspected.
Thank you. Best regards.
