It's a Studer A80RC. I have a set of the snap-in DIN hold downs for it.
A picture can be seen here. Just keep scrolling down until you find it:

Can you recommend someone in particular? I didn't know there was such a
thing as a Studer or Revox dealer any more.

I don't think he even has those any more.

I'm past the "holding out" stage. I won't give up until I find 30cm
(12") flanges because I've already had to navigate a job that required
them (barely ... I improvised). But, I would purchase the 26,5cm
versions if I could just to hold me over while I keep looking. 

Thanks!
