Did the  machine need much work done on it? 

Listening to the radio show, the  flute's sounded wonderfully grainy,
I'm guessing it's the orginal tapes in  there still?



It had green mold growing inside it due to damp and didn't really  function.  
 
The sound was so grainy on the broadcast because they miked the  monitor 
speaker and didn't use the line out, which is clear.  I suppose  they were trying 
to reinforce the retro nature of the instrument and in a way it  worked.  
However, the instrument sounds a lot better DI'd through a  desk.
 
Best,
