[bcab] Marantz Flash Card Recorders for Talking Newspapers

Hi All,

Our local TN is once again looking to purchase a new "roving recorder".
We never managed to convince our magazine edeitor (who also records most
of the interviews) to move to minidisk from cassette, but since the
recorder she uses is now seriously long in the tooth and not working
very well, we've been looking at current options. 

Of these, we identified the Marantz PMD 660 or 670 as possible
candidates, but are unable to get access to one to try it out and more
importantly to show it to our editor to see if she likes it.

Does anyone have any experience of these machines which would allow them
to give me an idea of their relative merits.  It would be nice if the
"successful candidate" were accessible to me (totally blind), as well as
to our editor, (sighted but not "technically adventurous"), however,
this could be based on a hopefully one-off configuration by sighted
technophiles on the committee.

Regards and thanks for any info.

Tim Pennick
