I've had this Teac 4070 for maybe 15 years now. A month or so ago I hooked it up to a mixer (incorrectly) to record something and I ended up with a pop and some smoke and a blown fuse.
I took it to an electronics guy to get repaired and he got it running again but the tape speed function is shot. It's stuck on low speed so I can't play pre-recorded tapes and plenty of my own tapes. If I can get a new speed selector switch then I can have this unit running again.
My question is should I try to find a switch and repair this? Or is the 4070 worth it? Should I abandon this unit and get a different model reel to reel?
