TOTL Cassette Deck ?

[Kim G]

After stumbling upon a near mint AU-717 and TU -717 awhile back, I'm beginning to get the itch for a matching cassette deck for this system. I found a SC-1110 on epay in mint condition for $150 BIN, is this a good deal or should I be looking for a different model. I would like to get as TOTL in Sansui black that I can afford. Any suggestions or got one laying around for cheap?

Thanks

Well, if its a Sansui cassette deck that you want, and a TOTL one at that to match your AU models, the model to look for is the SC-5330.

Hmmm, I found this site almost by accident. Been researching systems as I want to add one to the remodeled MBR. Giving serious thought to another 717.

I have a near complete Sansui 717 setup myself in the family room. AU, and TU with a Marantz 6100 turntable. I'm the original owner, bought it with the Sansui rack back when.

I got mine with the SC 3110 tape deck. It's a single tape unit with dolby NR and 3 tape bias setting available.

That is the one piece I no longer need/want. I know it needs a head and a belt (or is it belts?) Other than that its in great shape with the handles for rack mounting. I'd be interested in offers if there is interest.

From the Sansui database:

SC-5330 1978-1979 eBay sales: $63 - $148

SC-5330

FWIW I bought one on ebay in January 04 for $104. I took the rack handles off it for my BA-F1 (these handles are 1/4" higher than most AU/TU/SC handles). I put new belts on it and sold it for $129 sans the handles. Very nice deck, but I had no need for a cassette deck. They were manufactured in 1979/80 and had frequency response to 20Khz with metal tape.
