That's ridiculous. Used DAT machines, nice ones, are going for $200 or 
less on
Ebay these days. Incredibly good deal for a machine that sounds great with 
no
compression.

What media flakiness would that be? I've used DATs for years and haven't 
had any
media problems (aside from one DAT -machine- that had a flakey transport 
problem
and chewed up a master tape on one session, but it wasn't a great model 
recorder,
and it had a history of not being maintained, just what happened to be 
available
at the studio I was working at).
