Teac A2040 Info?

[haligonab]

There's a Teac A2040 on the local Craigslist but I can't find any info on the web. I was hoping someone here might be able to help. Thanks!

That's a vintage Teac. May have a difficult time getting parts.
What's its condition?
How much are they asking?
A good idea would be to contact Teac for parts availability.

From the CL ad-
"Full operational with a brand NEW BELT.
TEAC reverse play and reverse record in very nice condition with 2 way Technics Linear Phase SB P1000 speakers."

He wants $130 for all and he won't sell separately. You're probably right about parts since I found no info on the net. That's a deal killer. Thanks for your insight!

You sure it's not a TEAC A-2340? That would be a 4 track 4 channel 7 inch deck, some of these were available with auto reverse but for playback only (no bidirectional recording). I don't know of an A-2040 unless maybe it's a cassette deck or something.

Steve, any pictures of the deck?
There was a Teac line in the 1960s that had built-in amps and speakers. Maybe apart of that line.

eddisc,
Thanks for posting. A newer deck than I thought. (1973-?)
Steve, I would still contact Teac for parts. No sense getting the deck if you can't get parts. The Pinch Roller, if like the 1200 series decks should still be available.

Yeah, I saw that weird link too but I think it might be a numerical typo since there are no pics, no schematics, no service manual and no brochure not to mention not even one other hit anywhere else on Google as far as I can see. To the OP, please post a pic if you have one as this must be a very unusual / rare machine if it exists.
