The Philips PRO12 served a similar market to A77, with limitation of 7" reel capacity, but
it did have a die cast chassis,and was heavier than the Revox,with standard mains motors.

I don't think I've broken a tape on my PR99/3, although it is important not to mix metal
and plastic reels. I also have a Teac X-1000R which has benefit of dual capstans.
