Hello,
I'm new to this site & hope I'm not posting in the wrong area.
I have just received a Dokorder 8020 reel to reel "dub-a-tape". This thing looks to be in fantastic condition but there isn't a book or manual with it. I don't know anything about it & don't want to ruin it (or my stereo) buy doing something dumb. I couldn't find any instructions on-line & didn't want to buy a manual just to test this machine.
If anyone is famillar with this machine or point me in the right direction to download a manual, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Mark

Is this unit a good one or not worth spending any time on?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,

At the bottom of this page there are some jpegs of brochures and what looks like a start-up guide. But you've probably seen these by googling.

Don't have any experience with the machines. Looks interesting, but it seems like with transports and head assemblies for 2 tapes, that there is twice as much that could have issues and need refurbishing.
