As far as vintage reel-to-reel deck go, the Revox A77 should hardly need an introduction. The MkIII is a marvel of technological and mechanical ingenuity, highly sought-after by collectors. This unit has a tiny nick between the label for the headphone jack and the jack itself, and some typical swirling on the dustcover. Aside from those, the piece is in outstanding condition, regardless of its age.

- Liner Notes
"All indications are that this is by far the best tape recorder one can buy without going to a truly profession al machine. Only time will tell how well it can maintain its initially high standards of performance through months and years of use. In terms of performance, the Revox A-77 is unquestionably the best tape recorder we have ever tested, and we've tested some of the top professional machines." -J. Gordon Holt, Stereophile, 1970
