** TWO SOLD, ONE LEFT ***
The unit requires servicing before it can be considered fully operational. When powered on, the indicator lights blink and the machine does not start on the first attempt. I have been able to get it to boot and operate normally for a period of time, but the power has subsequently shut down again.
This behavior began while the machine was in warm, dry storage, where it has been kept unused since 2008.
Usage hours: ~9000

The Telefunken M15A (also known as M15) is widely regarded as one of the finest professional mastering reel-to-reel recorders ever built. Manufactured in Germany by Telefunken in the 1980s, this legendary machine represents the pinnacle of analog engineering.
The M15A features an exceptionally robust tape transport system that delivers extremely low wow and flutter, outperforming nearly every other reel-to-reel deck ever made. Every aspect of its construction is overengineered for precision, reliability, and longevity.
Its modular design makes servicing straightforward — each electronic section can be easily replaced or calibrated individually. Despite its professional complexity, the M15A is surprisingly easy to align and maintain.
This particular unit is in excellent condition, with heads still in mint shape.
It is calibrated for AGFA PER528 and BASF LGR 50 tapes and ready for professional use.
Power: 230 VAC (European standard)
Connections:
– XLR Line Inputs: Left & Right
– XLR Line Outputs: Left & Right
Included Accessories: Original reel hubs and additional accessories.
Location: Helsinki, Finland (Europe)
Worldwide shipping is available. For overseas delivery, the unit will be securely packed in a custom wooden crate. Please note that true German overengineering comes at a price — this magnetophon weighs quite a bit (around 50 kg), so shipping costs will reflect that.
