I am looking at a Teac AX-505 which is supposed to be 130wpc but it is tiny. Could it really power my Bose 901s in a large room, about 400 square feet? Are all 130 wpc amps created equal. The Teacs size fits my decor needs and I have a similar 50wpc Teac that sounds great.
But I don't want to...
Hello AudioKarma fans;
I have in hands a dead Teac AG780, as far as I checked , the amplifier part is working, and the relays clicks, I put speakers in the outputs, and putting small signal on mirror input transistors, I get sound. So the problem seems to be on the inputs-control. But no info...
I recently picked up this Teac A-4010S and replaced the belt. Everything seems to be working fine besides the capstan motor running as soon as the pinch roller is pulled to left, which has cause tape to be ruined after pressing stop or rewind during fast play. Any suggestions would be much...
Hi all,
I’m hoping someone out there can help me.
I’m on the lookout for some parts for my Teac 35-2B.
At some point in its life, the 4T head was removed, along with its holder. This deck has a somewhat unique head mounting system.
By any chance, does anyone have a parts machine or know where...
I have been trying to figure this out for a while now and am currently at a loss. I am trying to get to the speed adjustment screws, which are located somewhere beneath the platter. I was only able to find a video on removing the mechanism from a different TEAC model, to which you can see the...
I recently became the owner of a TEAC A-250s, and the left channel plays just fine but the right channel plays very quietly (on all outputs), I replaced the belt and cleaned the head and nothing has changed.
What should I do?
I have found very little documentation of it on the internet of...
I recently picked up this model deck and it was in need of a deep cleaning from top to bottom. I will say the motor speed and sound was impressive Everything was working fine. Anyway, I decided to change belts, clean heads, lubricate etc. I put everything back together and capstan motor does not...
I managed to pick up an intact TEAC X-1000R that was discarded at the curb after a neighbor texted me a picture of it - It was quite dirty and obviously stored in sub par conditions. I've never had a reel to reel before and don't know anyone that does , but I'm guessing that I'm quite...
I recently recapped all the .1uf Suzuki "bombs" in my Teac a 4010s and got the deck up and running. Thought I was in the clear til I went to record something and only the left channel was working. I opened up the transport again to find the front of the two stop switches (the ones activated by...
Hi all. I have a problem.
I have been given a Teac T-H500 CD player but the tray won’t eject. Everything works fine, it reads well and plays it through. It just simply won’t eject. When i press the button it goes back to 0 and then plays again. Any ideas?
Apologies if this is in the wrong sub...
Anyone know anything about this player.
I picked up this player for NZ$10 a while back. It wasn't reading discs.
After a clean of the lens/laser - I works perfectly.
I cannot find a single thing on this player - apart from a YouTube video in Russian (I think)
The only player I can find that...
Hi.
I just found this Japanese player. I can’t find much on this one except for some product catalogues from cirka 1984. This turntable seems to have been part of a complete system with amp, tuner, cassette deck and speakers.
The motor runs quiet and smooth and the arm rises and moves to...
Hello, everyone,
I got myself a good old X-10R in fair condition but in needs of a good restoration.
I already solved tape tension problem by installing a brand new Teac oem belt (thanks to those that pointed the belt problem, as this model is really finicky in this regard), cleaned everything...
I'm having an issue where the reel table on the right side is making a scraping noise.
- tighten screws
- I swapped reel tables.
I am still having the issue.
This was mentioned by User, "Vintage FX"
"I would take the reel-table off and check the motor axel, if the deck fell forward a big...
My Teac 4010s is working fine but I spot checked a couple of the PIO Suzuki caps and see they are reading at less than half the listed uF values. And those seem to be prone to total failure. I bought this machine back in 1969 and haven't touched any electronics. For sure I need to replace...
My favorite (Functioning) deck (Anybody know a good service tech in WA?) has an issue. It's caps! It's caps be on the move! The move I tell you! It's not a big deal. I am aware that it's happening and I power it down when not in use; but... it would be dandy fine like brandy wine or a slight...
Hey folks! First post here. I’m looking at purchasing my first reel to reel and realizing the TEAC A-3440 I was planning on checking out says “Multitrack Series” on the face plate. I also see models marked “four channel SIMUL-SYNC”. Does the model im looking at not have simul-sync/the ability to...

I have a beautiful teac c-1 that I'd like to get up and running again. It's fully functional except for the pinch rollers that have turned to mush. I'd like to find a replacement but it's proving quite difficult as the pinch rollers aren't any of the common sizes. Does anyone have any tips...
I have TEAC A-1200U it will FF/RW and will play with no reels fully attached but once I connect the reel and click play it stops and does nothing how do I fix it?
This is a video of what I'm talking about

I have a teac c-3 cassette deck that doesn't seem to be responding to any of the mechanism control buttons. I think it might have to do with it not recognizing that a cassette is inserted but the problem is I am not entirely sure how it detects this in the first place. Can anyone who has a...
Guys, just obtained TEAC A2300 in mediocre condition.
Motors are spinning, all I can test
Capstan roller in not moving ans well as head guards (for lack of better word) that raise during play
PAUSE PLAY lever is broken but still possible to operate. Curious if I can find spare part or would have...
I saw a thread in General Audio about CD players and for a little while, it went off tobic into favourite cassette decks. I was wondering if we could get it going here instead.
I'll start! :D
I've had quite a few decks since the 70s. My favourites were the following, in order of like.
1) TEAC...
