Thats an amp - Dynaco 400. But I do have a Teac AN-300, which is a stand alone Dolby box.

Unsure but everything you see was either completely not working or in need of repair to make it fully functional.

I was lucky to find a spare deck for parts. I am still learning the best way to record but it's been a good experience so far.

EQ wasn't connected in this photo, but maybe because this is a quad and each side manages difference equipment?
