The Sony DTC-87ES was introduced in 1991 The DTC-87ES was one of Sony's top of the range DAT recorder featuring 4 heads and a 4-DD Motor Mechanical Deck System. The DTC-87ES featured a copper plated chassis and two separate power supply transformers, one the audio and one for the digital circuitry.. The 4-Head drum provided off-tape confidence monitoring. This model was known as the DTC-77ES in Europe.
Sounds excellent. Machine is absolutely spotless. The whole idea with DAT was to obtain pre-recorded titles which it was designed for. Imagine having a unit in a car and enjoying pure digital sound and quality. These units were never popular with thieves. Unlike like CD units. Unfortunately another excellent format wiped out by political pressure.

It's the 4-head version. One of the finest consumer DAT machines ever made. Well worth 2500+ Euro these days.
that thing looks brand new. Nice!
