C Crane Company wrote, "The CC Recorder: This was our first foray into our own design of a recorder and it was way ahead of its time; a little too far ahead. It was an actual hard drive with a multi-event programmable timer. It could record up to 115 hours at lower quality or 15 hours at high quality. No built in radio but could record from any audio source. It’s only drawbacks were that It took too much power so no batteries, it was only AC powered..." Used to sell for over $400. Includes + Only the C Crane CC Recorder seen Tested to power on using our bench power supply **** DOES NOT INCLUDE A POWER SUPPLY
