We have a large variety of TEAC reel to reel tape decks in stock. And not all of the decks are listed. So if you are looking for a particular model of TEAC, please ask. THE PHOTOS IN THE LISTING ENLARGED. 30 DAY GUARANTEE TO PERFORM PERFECTLY. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING. Every part of this deal was great! TEAC TASCAM 32-2B N. Gary went beyond what I expected. Helped this neophyte SO much! Gary will knock himself out to make sure you are satisfied! TEAC X-1000M 15 I. N. A. B& I. FROM THE BLOG SECRETS OF HOME THEATER AND HIGH FIDELITY BY MEL MARTIN (ALSO A CUSTOMER) HERE ARE EXCERPTS FROM HIS JANUARY 31, 2018 EDITORIAL REEL-TO-REEL RECORDERS IS THERE A RESURGENCE? A month or so later I found a Teac x-1000r which had similar specs but added auto-reverse, so it would play both sides of a tape without having to take the reels off to flip sides. I was proving the point. Says his tech, Tom Tran, is among the most knowledgeable engineers. For all things audio. YOU CAN FIND THE ENTIRE ARTICLE, COMPLETE WITH A NUMBER OF MY TEAC TAPE DECK PHOTOS ON THE INTERNET. IF THE SPECS CALL FOR 30 TO 20,000 HZ FREQUENCY RANGE, THE TAPE DECK CAN BE TESTED FOR THAT USING A TONE GENERATOR AND AN OSCILLOSCOPE. AND, AS A TAPE DECK GOES THROUGH ITS LIFE, IN MOST CASES, LIKE ALMOST ANYTHING MECHANICAL OR ELECTRONIC, PERFORMANCE SLIDES A BIT. AND WHAT SOUNDED EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD WHEN NEW, NOW SOUNDS A LITTLE DULL AND MUFFLED. IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. AND MY TECHNICIAN USES NOT ONLY A TONE GENERATOR AND OSCILLOSCOPE TO DETECT POOR PERFORMANCE AND TO PROVE RESTORED PERFORMANCE; HE ALSO HAS AND USES METERS TO CHECK WOW AND FLUTTER, TAPE TENSION GAUGES, AND ALL THE OTHER PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT NECESSARY FOR A QUALITY RESTORATION. AND BECAUSE THE RESTORATION IS DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE NO PROBLEM PROVIDING A 30 DAY PERFECT PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE WITH EACH TEAC DECK I SELL THAT HAS BEEN SERVICED. THIS DECK IS NO EXCEPTION. 30 DAY SERVICE GUARANTEE AND SUPPORT AFTER THE SALE. I MAINTAIN A CONSTANTLY CHANGING INVENTORY OF APPROXIMATELY 80 TEAC REEL TO REEL TAPE DECKS. (SHOWN IN PHOTO #11). AND, BECAUSE MY BUSINESS IS AN ONGOING BUSINESS, AFTER THE 30 DAY GUARANTEE PERIOD, IF THE OWNERS DECK HAS A MALFUNCTION, AND THE OWNER WANTS ASSISTANCE IN. CORRECTING THE MALFUNCTION, THE OWNER CAN CALL ME FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, OR FOR REPAIR. FORTUNATELY TEAC PARTS LOCATIONS AND OTHER TEAC PARTS DISTRIBUTORS FOUND AROUND THE WORLD, STILL MAINTAIN A LARGE SUPPLY OF MOST PARTS FOR MOST TEAC DECKS. THE A-3440 IS A SMALL RECORDING STUDIO. FOUR CHANNEL, FOUR TRACK TAPE DECK THAT CAN PLAY ALL THE STANDARD PRE-RECORDED FOUR TRACK STEREO 7 TAPES THAT WERE PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED AT 7-1/2 I. AND IT CAN PLAY VIRTUALLY ANY FOUR TRACK TAPE THAT HAS BEEN RECORDED AT. BY RECORDING STUDIOS OR HOME STEREO ENTHUSIASTS. IT HAS INPUT CAPABILITY TO MAKE A RECORDING FROM VIRTUALLY ANY SOURCE (CDS, FM, ANOTHER TAPE DECK, MINI-DISC PLAYER, AND OF COURSE, MICROPHONE). THIS DECK IS OFTEN CHOSEN BY PERFORMING ARTISTS BECAUSE OF ITS MULTI-TRACK RECORDING CAPABILITIES AND THE EXTREME HIGH QUALITY RECORDING FOUND BY USING THE 15 I. IT RECORDS AND PLAYS ONE TO FOUR TRACKS ON ¼ TAPE AT EITHER 7-1/2 I. ON REELS UP TO 10.5 IN SIZE. ITS SYNC FEATURE ENABLES MULTI-TRACK OVER DUBS BY ALLOWING YOU TO SWITCH RECORD HEADS TO PLAYBACK FOR SYNCHRONIZING NEW TRACKS WITH PREVIOUS RECORDED ONES. EACH TRACK HAS ITS OWN VU METER, LINE INPUT, MIC INPUT, AND LINE OUTPUT (AS WELL AS LEVEL CONTROLS FOR EACH INPUT AND LINE OUTPUT). AND BECAUSE IT HAS FOUR TRACKS (OR CHANNELS), YOU CAN RECORD WITH FOUR MICS, EACH MIC RECORDING ON A SEPARATE TRACK. AND AS MENTIONED, YOU CAN PLAY ALL COMMERCIALLY PRODUCED STEREO TAPES AS WELL. AND IF YOU WANTED TO PERSONALLY MAKE A MULTI-TRACK RECORDING, YOU COULD RECORD YOURSELF PLAYING ONE INSTRUMENT (ON TRACK ONE), AND WHEN THE PERFORMANCE WAS COMPLETE, YOU COULD PLAY IT BACK AND IF YOU DIDNT LIKE IT, SIMPLY RECORD OVER IT UNTIL YOU WERE SATISFIED WITH THE RECORDING. THEN YOU COULD PLAY IT BACK, AND WHILE LISTENING TO IT (ON TRACK ONE) OVER HEADPHONES, RECORD YOURSELF PLAYING A SECOND INSTRUMENT IN TIME WITH THE FIRST (RECORDING ON TRACK TWO). AND IF YOU WANTED TO RECORD YOURSELF PLAYING A THIRD INSTRUMENT ON TRACK THREE, YOU COULD DO SO WHILE LISTENING TO TRACKS ONE AND TWO AS YOU RECORDED ON TRACK THREE. AND YOU COULD PLAY BACK AND LISTEN TO ALL THREE TRACKS, AND RECORD A FORTH INSTRUMENT AT THE SAME TIME, ON TRACK FOUR. AND MORE IMPORTANT, ALL FOUR TRACKS WHEN PLAYED BACK WILL BE IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER. IN ADDITION, ANOTHER MULTI-TRACK RECORDING COULD BE DONE USING BACKGROUND MUSIC. IN THIS CASE, YOU COULD RECORD BACKGROUND MUSIC ON TRACKS ONE AND TWO, FROM ANOTHER SOURCE (A PHONOGRAPH RECORD OR A CD), AND THEN RECORD YOURSELF, PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT IN HARMONY WITH THE BACKGROUND MUSIC (ON TRACK THREE). AND YOU COULD REWIND THE TAPE, AND PLAY TRACKS ONE, TWO, AND THREE, AND RECORDING YOURSELF PLAYING A FORTH INSTRUMENT (OR SINGING) ON TRACK FOUR. AND ALL FOUR TRACKS, WHEN PLAYED BACK, WILL BE IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER. AND IF A COMPOSITE STEREO RECORDING OF THE FOUR TRACKS IS DESIRED, THE A-3440 CAN EASILY BE CONNECTED TO AN INEXPENSIVE MIXER AND ANOTHER TAPE RECORDER TO MIX DOWN TO TWO TRACKS. OTHER UNIQUE BUILT-IN FEATURES. SIGNALS FROM 8 SOURCES (4 LINE AND 4 MICROPHONE INPUTS) MAY BE RECORDED SIMULTANEOUSLY. INDEPENDENT MIC AND LINE PREAMPLIFIERS EACH WITH ITS OWN LEVEL CONTROL, PROVIDE MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY FOR LIVE RECORDING SESSIONS. EACH SIGNAL MAY BE MONITORED AND RECORDED AT THE OPTIMUM LEVEL. PLAYBACK VOLUME OF EACH TRACK CAN BE VARIED AND TRANSFERRED TO A SECOND DECK TO PROVIDE THE EXACT DESIRED AUDIO BALANCE. COSMETIC APPEARANCE OF THIS TEAC A-3440 RECORDER. COSMETICS ARE ACTUALLY VERY PERSONAL. WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO ONE IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TO SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED THE DECK, ALL AROUND, SO YOU CAN TAKE A GOOD LOOK FOR YOURSELF.

THE FINAL BENCH TEST FOUND THIS DECK TO BE OPERATING AT OR ABOVE, TEACS ORIGINAL LISTED PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS. EVERYTHING ON THE DECK IS IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION.

SHOWN ACCESSORIES , SUCH AS THE METAL 10.5 REELS, TAPE, AND THE REEL HUBS IN THIS LISTING , ARE FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY, AND ARE NOT A PART OF THE SALE. THE SALE IS FOR THE DECK ONLY.

AND BECAUSE THEY EMPLOY THE STANDARD THREE BLADE LOCK DOWN SLOTS. HUBS ARE NEEDED TO SECURE THE REELS TO THE REEL TABLES. HUBS ALSO REDUCES THE CASH OUTLAY IN ORDER TO GET STARTED. ONE OF THE REELS WOULD ACT AS A TAKE UP REEL, THE OTHER WILL BE LOADED WITH 3600 OF BRAND NEW R. 35-34512 (1.0 MIL) TAPE. BOTH REELS COME WITH BRAND NEW STORAGE BOXES. THE KIT #3 ALSO INCLUDES A BRAND NEW COPY OF THE TEAC A-3440 OWNERS MANUAL AS WELL. THIS KIT IS ALSO OFFERED AS. DESCRIPTION OF A FEW OF THE FEATURES OF THE TEAC A-3440. ALL OF THE FEATHER-TOUCH ELECTRONIC CONTROLS ARE IDEALLY LAID OUT FOR ERROR-FREE ONE-HAND OPERATION. YOU CAN PRECISELY ROCK THE TAPE BACK AND FORTH TO FIND A DESIRED SELECTION, OR TO PINPOINT RECORDING LOCATIONS. BECAUSE OF THIS OUTSTANDING TEAC ENGINEERING FEATURE, THERE IS ALMOST NO POSSIBILITY OF TAPE DAMAGE DUE TO STRETCHING AND ALMOST NO POSSIBILITY OF TAPE SPILLAGE! AS WITH ALL MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF THE A-3440, THE FAST FORWARD AND FAST REWIND FUNCTIONS ARE ALSO CONTROLLED BY FINGER-TOUCH SOLENOID OPERATION. SHOWN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE DECK. OF THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS. AND THE TEAC THREE-MOTOR TRANSPORT HAS GAINED AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION WORLDWIDE FOR RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY. CAPSTAN DRIVE IS HANDLED BY A TWO-SPEED HYSTERESIS SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR ASSURING STABLE TAPE MOTION FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END OF EVERY REEL, PLUS AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM OF WOW AND FLUTTER. TWO ADDITIONAL EDDY CURRENT INDUCTION MOTORS ARE USED FOR REEL DRIVE. THEY MAINTAIN IDEAL TAKE-UP AND BACK TENSION REGARDLESS OF TRANSPORT MODE IN PLAY, FAST FORWARD, OR REWIND. THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF THE TEAC A-3440 IS NOTHING SHORT OF OUTSTANDING. 25-22,000 HZ AT 7-1/2 I. 25-24,000 HZ AT 15 I. DETAILS SHOWN IN THE SPECIFICATIONS BELOW; SECTION # 9. EASY TWIST-LOCK REEL RETAINERS. ANOTHER NICE FEATURE OF THE A-3440 IS THE BUILT-IN TWIST-LOCK REEL RETAINERS. SIMPLY PLACE THE REELS ON THE SPINDLES, AND TWIST THE TIPS OF THE TWIST-LOCKS CLOCK-WISE TO LOCK THE REELS IN PLACE. THIS ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR KEEPING UP WITH THE WHEREABOUTS OF RUBBER REEL RETAINERS. ANOTHER FEATURE YOU WONT FIND ON EVERY DECK IS. (WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO MONITOR THE SOURCE AND THE TAPE AS RECORDING IS TAKING PLACE). WITH THE A-3440, EACH CHANNEL HAS ITS OWN TAPE/SOURCE SWITCH SHOWN AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DECK, IN. TRUE TAPE MONITORING IS POSSIBLE WITH THE TEAC A-3440. EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE YOUR HEADPHONES ON AND PLUGGED IN, AND YOU ARE LISTENING TO AND. RECORDING A FM SIGNAL, YOU CAN MONITOR NOT ONLY THE EXACT QUALITY OF THE FM SIGNAL AS IT COMES INTO THE TAPE RECORDER, BUT ALSO THE EXACT FM SOUND QUALITY THAT IS GOING ONTO THE TAPE. AS IT IS BEING RECORDED!!!! I USE A FM SIGNAL AS AN EXAMPLE OF A SOURCE IN THIS CASE. BUT ANY SOURCE CAN BE MONITORED ON THE TEAC. RECORD, CD, FM, OR EVEN ANOTHER TAPE RECORDER CAN BE SOURCE COMING INTO THE TAPE DECK TO BE RECORDED AND. AS YOU ARE RECORDING, YOU CAN PRESS THE MONITOR SWITCH UP” OR “DOWN, WITHOUT DISTURBING THE ACTUAL RECORDING PROCESS. WHEN YOU PRESS THE MONITOR SWITCH SO THAT IT PROJECTS DOWN, YOU ARE THEN LISTING TO THE EXACT FM SIGNAL COMING INTO THE TAPE RECORDER. AND WHEN YOU PRESS THE MONITOR SWITCH. “UP”, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY BE LISTENING TO THE ACTUAL TAPE RECORDING THAT IS BEING MADE, ABOUT. THE ADVANTAGE IS THAT YOU CAN EASILY COMPARE THE. THE SOURCE TO THE QUALITY OF THE TAPE RECORDING. AS IT IS BEING RECORDED. AND, IF YOU DESIRE, YOU CAN ADJUST THE RECORD LEVEL UP. OR DOWN WHILE RECORDING (IN AN EFFORT TO HAVE THE TAPE COME AS CLOSE TO THE SOUND QUALITY OF THE SOURCE SIGNAL AS POSSIBLE). FRONT PANEL HEADPHONE AND MICROPHONE JACKS. SOME TAPE DECKS DON. FOR MAKING LIVE RECORDINGS, OR A. FOR SILENT LISTENING OR. MONITORING PURPOSED DURING RECORDING. THE A-3440 NOT ONLY HAS BOTH, BUT ALSO PUTS THEM RIGHT UP FRONT ON THE FACEPLATE IN A HANDY POSITION, MICS ON THE LEFT SIDE AND HEADPHONE JACK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DECK, IN. UP-RIGHT OR HORIZONTAL OPERATION. THE TEAC A-3440 TAPE DECK IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN EITHER IN THE UP-RIGHT OR THE HORIZONTAL POSITION. THE UP-RIGHT POSITION IS PREFERRED FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF MORE EFFICIENT VENTILATION. LOWER SECTION, CENTER OF THE DECK, IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS.

INCLUDED WITH THE RECORDER IS A COPY OF THE TEAC OWNERS MANUAL FOR THIS. IT IS VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD. IN THE SEARCH BLOCK, JUST TYPE IN “7” METAL REEL” (IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR 7″ METAL REELS), OR “10.5” METAL REEL” (IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR 10.5″ METAL REELS). HOW EASY IS IT TO MAKE A CD FROM A TAPE WITH THE RECORDER? HERE ARE THE BASIC STEPS. PLACE A PRE-RECORDED TAPE ON THE RECORDER AND THREAD IT UP TO THE TAKE-UP REEL (AS SHOWN IN THE OWNERS MANUAL WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THIS SALE). PATCH AN RCA PAIR OF CABLES (INCLUDED IN THIS SALE) FROM THE OUTPUT JACKS ON THE TEAC RECORDER TO THE INPUT JACKS OF ANY CD RECORDER. PLACE A BLANK CD IN THE CD RECORDER. PUT THE CD RECORDER INTO RECORD MODE BY PRESSING RECORD. PUT THE TEAC RECORDER INTO PLAY BY PRESSING THE PLAY BUTTON. IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE RECORD VOLUME ON THE CD RECORDER, OR ADJUST THE OUTPUT LEVEL ON THE TEAC RECORDER BY TURNING A DIAL. BUT THAT IS JUST A VERY MINOR ADJUSTMENT.
