I have just acquired this machine and have purchased some Maxell 10.5" tapes. The tapes have recordings on them which play great. The recorder was serviced 1/11/19 and whilst using it the left meter stopped working so I paid a lower price as the seller didn't want to spend any more on it.When I bought this A77 with the right vu meter non functional I swapped the left meter to the right to see if it worked and it did, I then reinstalled it back to the left side and bought a replacement which is on its way. Then to record I set the left meter to achieve the required level then set the right adjuster to the same level. When switching from input to NAB right sound level dropped slightly but the left level was only just audible.
