This fantastic looking and sounding professional-grade Tascam cassette deck is designed for the studio, but equally suited for home use - representing decades of innovation and improvement by one of the world’s leading specialists in audio tape products. This machine is designed for situations where the most demanding standards of sonic performance and mechanical reliability are required. These days, it’s impossible to buy a new cassette deck with a comparable specification - companies have stopped manufacturing high-quality mechanisms and Dolby no longer licences their noise reduction and headroom extension systems for cassette tapes. The specification of the Tascam 102 includes:-Dolby B/C and HX Pro-2-motor, full logic controlled transport-Highly accurate real-time digital tape counter-Auto tape type select for bias and EQ setting-Front panel mounted headphone jack-Variable bias and L/R level adjustment for fine tuning on record We acquired this deck, along with several others, from its original owner who used it in a studio setting where it was kept in excellent condition, regularly serviced and calibrated. It has been professionally serviced this week, including checking and cleaning the drive belt and pulleys, cleaning the switches and testing and cleaning the internal electrical contacts. The electrical alignment has been checked, using a test cassette, signal generator, oscilloscope and external level meters. This process covers the recording levels, playback levels, meter calibration, bias and tape speed. The tape transport has also been checked, demagnetised and cleaned. It all works as it should and sounds great. It has been inspected for electrical safety and put through a full PAT test, in line with current guidance. It will be supplied with a brand new mains plug that meets current safety standards. As you would expect for a piece of professional grade audio equipment, the sound quality is phenomenal, and the cassette mechanism is impressive – with quick fast forward and rewind times and a highly responsive tape transport. Cosmetically, this deck is in very nice condition. The display is clear and looks fantastic, the front and back panels are excellent, with only minor signs of use. The case is also in great shape - there are some light surface marks on the lid, as you often find with stackable hi-fi equipment, but these are unlikely to be visible once installed and overall there’s nothing that takes away from the overall fantastic looks of this machine. A printed copy of the original owners manual is included. Shipping will be by next day courier. It will be very carefully packed, and we usually ship out same or next day. Please check our feedback, and if you have any questions - just ask.
