Good morning all. Is anyone interested in Leevers Rich E 200? Powers up, motor is working, not very good cosmetic condition. I don't have any idea about the value so I am open for reasonable offers.
Thank you

Crikey. The BBC had loads of them at one time. Is it a mono, stereo or
twin track?

They were good enough workhorses, but would never win any races. ;-)

The LR E200 is a very good machine. I have one, ex BBC which I bought about five years ago in pristine condition. According to Norman Leevers some 1500 of these were in use in the London area alone, with about 1000 scattered about various departments of the BBC.

They are very reliable, and easy to maintain. There seem to be many variants, so that machine and manual may not always match exactly.

You should have no difficulty in finding a buyer. If you wish, you can contact me directly, and I will put you in touch with a colleague in the UK who will probably be interested. He has been trying to get me to sell my E200 to him almost from the day I got it.

Workhorses are exactly what are needed, Machines that will run
reliably, 24/7 with the operator just having to clean the heads and check
the bias after changing tapes. Routine maintenance too has to be
not-too-frequent and easily performed.

"Thoroughbread" tape machines like the Lyrec and to some extent the MCI needed constant attention to keep them in top condition.
Admittedly they had marginally better performance figs than some
other machines but nothing that was critical.

Give me a workhorse like the Leevers Rich E200 any day.
I use mine for editing, and prefer it to the A80.
The E200 has a large impressive mushroom-shaped BBC type
knob for the monitor output level, which feels like a studded
attenuator. I was a little disappointed to find it was a standard
pot.
