    TEAC A6010 Troubleshooting

    Hello AK, Recently acquired the TEAC A6010 and have a few issues with the physical reel it seems. I posted a short video of the issue and if you turn the audio up you can hear a "grind" or "tick" where it seems the tape is trying to twist or it gets caught on something. I have attempted to...

    TEAC A-1200 VU Questions ++

    Hello! Picked up my first A-1200 and have few questions on functionality. Should the VU's be working when using a line input signal from my phone or is that far too little power to get them moving? When I first powered the unit up the VU's were pegged, even with no signal coming in, just...

    Hi all, I’m having an issue with my TEAC X-10R. Quick recap: (pun intended) I was having some noise on the signal output, using a test tape the sine wave would have random jags on it. Not sure what particular transistor might be going bad, I decided to go ahead and recap the REC AND PLAY AMPL...

    I have a TEAC V-900X cassette deck made in 1985. Everything is ok (well, I think so ) except FL display which is too dim and unevenly lit as well. Is there a way to fix it? I.e. make it brighter. The picture has been taken in a dark room so in reality the display is even dimmer. SM is available...

    TEAC 450 won’t play, ideas?

    My TEAC 450 would need to warm up before being able to play. If played without being left on for 5 minutes or so it will just pop the play button back up after 6 seconds or so. Now it won’t play at all. I replaced the belts but that made no difference. Has anyone dealt with this issue before?
