I'll shall probably retain the MK3 heads and the other parts .. to enable later conversion back to 2 track if required. This MK3 has the vari-speed so its the best option to use to play the 4-track tapes that I have, made on different machines, that may have been recorded with the tape running a bit too fast or slow.
