    Teac Belts

    Has anyone ordered belts for Teac tape decks? I know they were purchased by Tascam now it seems that Onkyo owns them. I emailed for belts on Saturday and have yet to hear from them. Has anyone successfully ordered belts? Thanks Rich

    Hey all. I have a Teac AD800, the combo cassette/CD player. The cassette side works fine, but the CD side has an issue with cutting out. The disk reads fine, starts to play fine, then every 30s-60s the audio cuts out for a beat or two. It's not a skip. It's just like someone hit mute for a...

    ISO TEAC TCA-40 series owner's manual

    Where can I find reviews for my TEAC A-H500?

    Just got this thing, and I'm very impressed so far. Looks beautiful also (photo from hifiengine): I found some very brief costumer reviews and some forum posts, but so far no "real" review. Would anybody know where to look?

    Teac C-3RX (Tascam 122) - No FF or Rew

    I replaced the belts in my cassette deck today, and it plays well. I now just have issues with rewinding and fast-forwarding. The same motor drives the reel when playing, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work in FF. Some online reading indicates that I need idler tires and some sort of felt. I...
