TEAC A-800 Cassette Deck

[lohmantl]

Does anyone know if the wood cases for the TEAC A series cassette decks are interchangable? I have a TEAC A-800 and would like to obtain a wood case for it. The search will be easier if the cases are interchangable.

Thanks!

Hello lohmantl,
Only from memory can I say that the only other model that would have a wood case similar to the A800 would be the lower model A700.
Otherwise, the size and drill holes would be in the wrong place.
Since the wood cabinets were often times an option, I don't know if they would serve you the same as a custom made cabinet from real wood. I have a guy in NC that does wood cabinets and has made numerous side panels for me in real wood. He is a Master Carpenter. If I was looking to put wood onto one of my decks, that is the way I would go. This Carpenter can work from Cad diagrams that I have sent him to build bird houses and Flower boxes. Just an option.
We cab discuss further if you wish to go that route.
