Pioneer Tape Deck, Equalizer, Dynamic Expander, & Timer?
A friend is letting me evaluate these silver faced Pioneer components to possibly buy. Any opinions would be appreciated. 1. CT-F750 cassette deck. Powers on but the belts have all turned to goo.

Exchanging my Nak RX-202...any suggestions?
I've owned the RX-202 for about a year but it had problems from the time I bought it. The left channel went silent every now and then, but then it'd momentarily peak if I tapped on the deck or shifted it around during playback. Also it had this really annoying quirk when it got near the end of... -

TEAC Auto-Reverse W-518r Question
Greetings - question about this deck. Mine works fine, but I don't know if the left cassette well is supposed to stop after a cycle of Side1-to-Side2 play.

Strange rewind problem with Pioneer CT-F650
Picked up an old CT-F650 from a guy who said he serviced it, but it doesn't run totally flawlessly. Play and FF seem to work fine, but Rewind really seems to struggle--moves really slow, like it's laboring. The weird thing is that it seems to get worse towards the beginning of a tape. If I stop...- witch_trial
