- This is in good condition and functioned flawlessly when last used. I am listing it as-is because it's an electronic item. Also comes with foot pedal and Owners Manual. Shipping to lower 48 only. The DMT-8vl is a digital 8 track that Fostex discontinued in order to make the cheaper, more appealing FD4 and FD8 (which don't have internal hard disks).
