    Teac A3340 slow ff and rew

    I have had my Teac since new but hadn't used it for about 6 or 7 years. I decided its time to transfer my old tapes to digital. Unfortunately when turning it on, the capstan did not meet up with the pinch wheel and the small posts that hold the tape away from the heads would not lower the tape...

    Teac AI-1000

    TEAC AI-1000. Anyone know anything about this amp? Has lots of power: Output Power: 120W + 120W (4 ohms), 85W + 85W (8 ohms). Was wondering how it sounds? Most reviews are very positive and describe it as smooth on top...but I have seen a few that say the top end is a bit bright. Any...

    TEAC Bookshelf Speakers

    Just picked up a pair of TEAC bookshelf speakers in pristine condition, $9.99 plus tax. Thoughts? Model LS-MC90, grilles included. Also, I see that they are listed at 60W, could I damage them if I make them part of my stereo system (make it four speakers instead of two), whereby I think the...

    Teac TEAC A-4010-S - Plays everything double speed - help!

    I got this nice old Teac Reel to Reel to play some prerecorded albums I've been buying at thrift shops.. Trouble is that even thought the tapes are clearly marked as 3 3/4 ips they, and the player has settings for 3 3/4 & 7.5 ips even on the slowest setting they play back at double speed. I'm...

    Teac A1200U

    I have this Teac reel to reel machine. The capstan motor has a 6 pack Startup capacitor package. The one cap in it that starts up the capstan motor on power up has intermittent connection. Is there anywhere or anyone that sells these old parts? If not I may have to build discretely. I have the...

    Teac A-450 L Channel Very Low or Out

    Hi there forum! The other day I picked up a Teac A-450 for 25 bucks on craigslist. I wasn't expecting much, but under some dust it looked pretty clean in the pics. When I picked it up, the guy told me he thought a channel was out, but that other than that it worked. Got her home and tonight I...

    Hello, and how did I do?

    I've been lurking out there for a few months. I've been lamenting the loss of a Marantz quad and turntable I got at a garage sale when I was in grad school twenty years ago. I put it somewhere "safe" when I moved. It was so safe I never found it again. Over the past few months I have decided...

    Hi all, I need your kind help I got this deck for free, I replaced only one belt which was the one for the capstan. The deck fast forward and rewinds just fine but when I hit play the right reel spins counter clockwise causing a mess since the tape spools from the inside instead of the...

    Teac AD-RW900 ???

    I'm not entirely sure I'm posting this in the correct forum, but I'll give it a shot. At the thrift store today and picked up this odd piece, a Teac AD-RW900, a Tape deck/CD/CDR/RW/USB/MP3/Recorder. I bought it because it was curious looking and cheap and brand new. Like, never used brand new...

    HELP!! Teac 6010 Pinch Roller Arm Removal

    I have that classic problem of a stick/sluggish pinch roller. I want to remove the pinch roller arm and clean it and re-lube it. The photo shows how far I have gotten with the tear down. I have read many other threads about this issue and none of them seem to outline how to remove it. I...

    Teac A3340S - Rt Channel thump at power on

    She works mostly like a dream. However, at power on I have to make sure all Right channel knobs are at zero or I get a big thump that quickly dies down. She has been belted, cleaned, oiled and demag'd. Changed out the input lines. Could Mr. Marantz be the culprit? The problem doesn't occur if I...

    What should I look for in a vintage reel to reel deck?

    I know nothing, or just next to it, about reel to reel, except for the 3-inch and 5-inch tape recorders I had as a kid (before cassettes). And the enormous open-reel machine belonging our swingin' young neighbors, on which I first heard the Beatles' White Album through headphones. (I was...

    New old amp a-x750

    Ah well the Yamaha DSP A-1000 integrated amp I was using for the last couple of weeks went back to its owner and I now have a TEAC a-x750 integrated amp in its place. Seems to be a really difficult amp to find any info about at all, but it does seem to be working very well. Bit annoying it...

    Sansui SP-2000 Restoration Questions

    Hi all, this is my first post on the forum. I have a pristine (externally) pair of Sansui SP-2000's that I got as a gift from someone. I've had them for about a year, but I just now decided to take off the front grilles and take a look inside. It seems to me that the 5" and 6.5" are both not...
