The MCI'5000 worked very smoothly but was so complex that it had unacceptable failure rate for then new corporate owners Sony. So Sony did something extraordinary: They made an exact copy/clone of machine in Japan and exported this more reliable (but at what cost?) version. Clever but Insane. They lost boatloads of money of course - as with many of their other professional products.
So when you look at one of these, see if you can tell if it's an Orig or clone (I can tell by looking at the boards)
