My workshop is located in Huntsville, AL, but I'm available to deliver it to the buyer during my next trip to Nashville. All machines that I sell come with a 2-month warranty from the date of sale. If the buyer discovers any issues within that 2-month period, I'll be glad to repair and correct them at no additional charge. My business is focused on repairing, refurbishing and reselling cassette-based multitrack machines (4-tracks, etc.). I've worked with many clients in the Nashville area and I'm in town at least once every few months, picking up and dropping off machines.
