TEAC A-360S CASSETTE DECK

[corpblues]

I picked up a TEAC A-360S CASSETTE DECK a few weeks ago when I bought a pioneer sx-1010. I could not pass it up as it was old, huge and cool looking.

I like to breath life back into old gear work so I cleaned it up and replaced the belts. It is up and running.

I know nothing about these old teac cassette decks. Any collectors or love for these old decks?

Here is a picture of the tape deck. The old drive belt had totally disintegrated and the bits of turned to goo when touched. Using windex to clean up the kitchen counter was a life saver. Windex would dissolve the bits of the belt I dropped on the kitchen counter.

I picked up an A-450 not too long ago at a yard sale with a bunch of other stuff. It looks like it shares a bunch of similarities to yours and is probably an older model. I plan on restoring it also.

I bought a kit on ebay that contained all 4 belts. The drive belt worked fine, but the two belts that drives the counter were too thick and would cause it to autostop. Put the old counter belts back on and it is working fine. Lesson learned do not order lowest cost belts from overseas...

I am listening to the deck right now and surprised how nice this very vintage cassette deck sounds. I'll probably throw this one up for sale on bartertown later this month after I'm done playing with it.

Okay I'm done playing with this deck. PM me if you are interested in it. Time to post it on bartertown as my toys have overgrown my mancave space.
