Post a Picture of your Tape Deck - Decks

Just finished this one up recently. Plays and records well. It took me a while to figure out that the pause dummy plug was missing. I've never worked on an A-6010 before so when I saw the other 2 dummy plugs in place, I didn't think anything was missing. I made a replacement for it using a 6 pin DIN plug.

Lets see your Reel to Reels , Cassette's , 8 Tracks and other tape decks Please

Here are the ones I'm using now. A Technics 616 and a Panasonic RS 275 US
There are more but not worth mentioning. I have 2 Optonicas made by Sharp. The Eico was a pretty advanced kit. It has 3 heads, 3 motors, electric breaking, push-button solenoid operation. The ckt was very crude with Ge-PNP transistors, so I redesigned it all. And yes I have a working 8 track, bc you never know...

It was sleeping in original box with operation/service manual and spares (belt, pinch roller, original reel...) . I appreciate the gentle handling of the tape. Its only shortcomings are the edition mode, which is not as well managed as that of an 800-series studer, and the plastic head cover. I'm very happy to count it as part of my collection.
