Refer to pics. It has been tested, calibrated and the heads were cleaned and demagnetized for the best sound ever. The mic inputs were tested and they work as well as the other inputs. The pots and switches were sprayed and the metal parts were lubed as well. Both channels are clear and superb sounding as well. All the functions work and the VU Meters jump like they are supposed to. The sound when recording at 7 1/2 IPS is very clear and better and wider sounding than the Source recording from, depending on the type of tape used and better at 15 IPS . The heads are also in very good shape which is obviously why the quality is awesome as well. Pictured reels and are for testing, for demonstration purposes only and NOT INCLUDED.

It used to be the buyer and the seller would make an offer and would go back-and-forth until they could both agree on something pricewise and they would walk away happy. However, that no longer seems to be the case. Now people seem to add items to a seller’s watchlist to try to passively pressure the seller into dropping the price because they don’t make the effort to make an offer. Some do it because they’re looking for some attention because they’re bored. Others even admit, they can’t even afford the item but do it anyways, like it’s a hobby to them. A lot of people have become way too comfortable adding items to their watchlist and/or shopping cart with no intention of ever making a purchase so I need to put this put there: This is an online e-commerce store, NOT a museum, an art exhibit, or a playground. This is how I pay the bills, put food on the table and get more of these great units. Window shoppers DO NOT pay the bills. Many people unfortunately seem to have forgotten that. I put in a LOT OF TIME, WORK (and money) into finding and sourcing these tape decks, cleaning them up, restoring and testing them to ensure they arrive working like they should, as well as taking clear pictures and videos and packing and shipping them safely to ensure they arrive in one piece. I have ALWAYS been committed to fair pricing based on the quality, how much I’ve sold these decks for in the past, the cosmetics, and how much time, money, and labor it takes to restore them. However, I have started lowering the prices a little more recently Since too many people arent making an effort to make an offer nor did they respond to any direct offers that Id send with some even admitting that they’re not really interested but add to their watchlist anyways. I feel like I need to get it out there that I am not looking to “give away” these units for cheap. If anyone is serious about making a purchase and they have any last-minute questions, I am happy to answer them and happy to help and assist in anyway that I can. It is not about being a jerk or impatient. it is about the basic awareness of someone trying to make an honest and decent living and provide for their family. It truly is mind-boggling just how out of touch so many people have become with such a simple concept. There is a MAJOR DIFFERENCE between informed purchase decision-making/due diligence and wasting somebody’s time by messing with their livelihood. Unfortunately, a lot of people have done the latter with some even admitting they can’t afford the unit and are waiting for the price to drop instead of looking for something more in their price range. If the price is too expensive or you just feel like it’s not in your budget, PLEASE RESPECTFULLY PASS ON THIS LISTING! There are plenty of other options out there to choose from And I wish you good luck in your search. I honestly hate putting this out there because of the risk of offending potential customers and driving good and decent ones away, but somehow or another I have to send a clear message that this behavior is unacceptable. I have standards and boundaries and they will continue. I stand by my decision to remove and repost listings as needed if there are an army of watchers with no apparent intention of making a purchase. If this offends you in anyway and you don’t want to do business with me, that’s fine. There’s plenty of people who understand where I’m coming from and understand that time is a precious commodity that you can never get back And my years of experience and the fact that I’m just trying to make an honest living, grow and expand, and those are the kind of customers…
