TASCAM 302MKII
 
The TASCAM 302MKII is a double auto reverse
cassette deck primarily designed for continuous
playback of background music or tape dubbing needs.
A maximum of ten 302MKIIs can be hooked up to
form a sequential play loop or to synchronize them,
with one serving as the master/source machine and the
others serving as the slave/target machines, for
simultaneous tape dubbing.
