That high voltage buzz
Hello to all,
Some weeks ago I picked up this Sony tape deck on a curb where a yardsale was held the day before, clearly an abandoned no-seller.
After getting the service manual from Rolf and getting the transport going again, I've decided that there's no place for it in my house and would like to see it go to a good home.
So, its up for grabs, folks.
Known problems yet to be fixed:
* Head rewire: The original owner aparently rewired the heads to behave like a Teac A-3340S for recording overdubs. I spent enough time to confirm that the deck does record/playback but the correct record/play channels need to be sorted out. I've already removed the switching system and have the wires soldered onto the heads but not necessarily in the right order.
* There is one switch and one missing knob on a lesser-used function on the front panel. Rolf has a parts machine to work with you.
* The heads are a bit worn but do work ok. It could use some belts - available from bob@vintageelectronics.com.
I would rather not ship this thing as it weighs 25 lbs without box/packing. I'm in Santa Cruz, CA. You'll get the deck, the service manual and a take-up reel and a partial tape.
I'll be traveling this weekend but you can post email or a PM to me. Offers taken in order received.
Cheers,
David
