TEAC A-2340RS AUTO REVERSE. REEL TO REEL SIMUL-TRAK. 30 DAY GUARANTEE TO WORK PERFECTLY! (NEAR THE END OF THE LISTING DESCRIPTION). 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. Word 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. THIS LISTING IS FOR THE TAPE DECK ONLY. SUCH AS THE METAL REELS. AND AUDIO TAPE, SHOWN IN THIS LISTING ARE FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY, AND ARE NOT A PART OF THE SALE. IF YOU NEED ACCESSORIES , I HAVE AN “ADD-ON” ACCESSORIES KIT #1. INCLUDES TWO BRAND NEW TWIN RCA PATCH CORDS, ONE BRAND NEW COPY OF THE ORIGINAL TEAC A-2340RS OWNER’S MANUAL, ONE 7″ TAKE UP REEL AND TAKE UP REEL HARD CARDBOARD STORAGE BOX IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND ONE 7″ REEL OF “RECORDING FOR THE MASTERS” BLANK 1800′ BRAND NEW FRESH TAPE (LPR 35 – 34511 ON A BRAND NEW 7 PLASTIC REEL) WITH FACTORY HARD CARDBOARD STORAGE BOX. THE COST OF THE ACCESSORIES KIT #1. I WILL GO INTO THE LISTING, MAKE THE NECESSARY REVISIONS, AND YOU CAN. THAT WAY YOU ARE ASSURED OF GETTING BOTH THE TAPE DECK AND THE. ACCESSORIES KIT TOGETHER, IN THE SAME BOX. ARRIVES, YOU’LL HAVE BOTH THE DECK AND THE ACCESSORIES, AND CAN. 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. 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-2340RS IS A SMALL RECORDING STUDIO. FOUR CHANNEL FOUR TRACK TAPE DECK THAT CAN PLAY ALL THE STANDARD PRE-RECORDED TWO CHANNEL 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 7-1/2 I. BY RECORDING STUDIOS OR HOME STEREO ENTHUSISTS. IT HAS INPUT CAPABILITY TO MAKE A. RECORDING FROM VIRTUALLY ANY SOURCE CDS, FM, ANOTHER TAPE DECK. MINI-DISC PLAYER, AND OF COURSE, MICROPHONES. THIS DECK IS OFTEN CHOSEN BY PERFORMING ARTISTS BECAUSE OF ITS. IT RECORDS AND PLAYS ONE TO FOUR TRACKS ON ΒΌ TAPE AT EITHER 7-1/2 I. ON REELS UP TO 7 IN SIZE. 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). A 2-CHANNEL, 4-CHANNEL PLAY SWITCH LETS YOU ENJOY OLD STEREO TAPES (2-CHANNEL), AS WELL AS NEW FOUR TRACK RECORDINGS. AND BECAUSE IT HAS FOUR TRACKS (OR 4 CHANNELS), YOU CAN RECORD WITH FOUR MICS, EACH MIC RECORDING ON A SEPARATE TRACK. YOU PLAY SIDE ONE, AND THEN FLIP THE TAPE OVER TO PLAY SIDE TWO (MUCH LIKE A RECORD ON A TURNTABLE). AND IF YOU PLACE AN AUTO REVERSE SENSING FOIL STRIP AT THE END OF SIDE ONE OF THE TAPE. THE A-2340RS WILL PLAY SIDE ONE, AND WHEN IT REACHES THE SENSING FOIL, THE TAPE DECK WILL STOP ITSELF, AND THEN BEGIN PLAYING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, PLAYING SIDE TWO ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE TAPE. WITH THE DECK SWITCHED IN THE 4 CHANNEL MODE, YOU CAN EITHER PLAY A PRE-RECORDED FOUR CHANNEL TAPE. OR, USING MICROPHONES, MAKE UP A MULTI TRACK LIVE TAPE RECORDING, RECORDING ALL TRACKS AT THE SAME TIME, WITH ALL TRACKS BEING IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER. ITS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHEN THE DECK IS IN THE 4 CHANNEL MODE, AUTO REVERSE IS NOT AVAILABLE. AUTO REVERSE ONLY WORKS IN THE 2 CHANNEL MODE. THIS IS EXPLAINED IN MORE DETAIL IN THE OWNERS MANUAL (ENCLOSED WITH THE TAPE DECK). AND IF A COMPOSITE STEREO RECORDING OF THE FOUR TRACKS IS DESIRED, THE A-2340RS 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-2340RS RECORDER. COSMETICS ARE REALLY VERY PERSONAL. SOME PEOPLE EXPECT ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. AND OTHERS HAVE NO PROBLEM ACCEPTING A SCUFF OR TWO. CONDITION OF THIS TEAC A-2340RS. THIS A-2340RS IS IN. IT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED AND TESTED BY TOM TRAN , WITH ” SAVE ON SOUND “, HERE IN HOUSTON. TOM TRAN OWNS ” SAVE ON SOUND ” (WHICH HAS BEEN SERVICING HOUSTON’S REEL TO REEL TAPE DECK NEEDS FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS , IN THE SAME LOCATION). SHOWN IN PHOTO # 12 IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS. 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. I WAS PRESENT AND WITNESSED THE FINAL BENCH TEST RECENTLY; AND EVERYTHING WORKED PERFECTLY. DESCRIPTION OF A FEW OF THE FEATURES OF THE TEAC A-2340RS. 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-2340RS, 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-2340RS IS NOTHING SHORT OF OUTSTANDING. 30-22,000 HZ AT 7-1/2 I. 30-16,000 HZ AT 3-3/4 I. DETAILS SHOWN IN THE SPECIFICATIONS BELOW; SECTION # 10. AS TECHNOLOGY SKYROCKETED IN THE 60S AND 70S, TAPE MANUFACTURERS WERE DEVELOPING AND IMPROVING TAPE PERFORMANCE. THESE NEW TAPES BEING OFFERED WERE LOW NOISE/HIGH OUTPUT TAPES. BUT, THE IMPROVED PERFORMANCE WAS ONLY POSSIBLE BY CHANGING THE INTERNAL ELECTRONIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TAPE DECK. MANY TAPE DECK MANUFACTURERS SIMPLY DID NOT GO TO THE EXTRA EXPENSE TO REVISE THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THEIR DECKS TO MATCH THIS NEW PRODUCT BEING OFFERED. THE TEAC A-2340RS HAS THE SPECIAL CIRCUITRY BUILT INTO IT, SO THAT YOU CAN ADJUST THE TAPE DECK TO CAPITALIZE ON THESE TAPE IMPROVEMENTS. THE PROPER CIRCUITRY IS SELECTED BY ADJUSTING THE. SHOWN IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE DECK. EASY TWIST-LOCK REEL RETAINERS. ANOTHER NICE FEATURE OF THE A-2340RS 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. AS RECORDING IS TAKING PLACE. WITH THE A-2340RS, EACH CHANNEL HAS ITS OWN TAPE/SOURCE SWITCH SHOWN IN THE CENTER OF THE DECK, JUST BELOW THE HEADCOVER, IN. TRUE TAPE MONITORING IS POSSIBLE WITH THE TEAC A-2340RS. 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. 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. A-2340RS NOT ONLY HAS BOTH, BUT ALSO PUTS THEM RIGHT UP FRONT ON THE FACEPLATE IN A HANDY POSITION, IN THE CENTER OF THE DECK SHOWN IN THE LOWER, CENTER SECTION OF THE DECK. UP-RIGHT OR HORIZONTAL OPERATION. THE TEAC A-2340RS 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 OF THE HEAT THAT IS EXHAUSTED FROM THE BACK OF THE TAPE DECK COVER. PREAMPLIFIERS EACH WITH ITS OWN. LEVEL CONTROL (SHOWN IN PHOTO # 4). PROVIDE MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY FOR LIVE RECORDING SESSIONS. OUTPUT VOLUME CONTROL (SHOWN IN PHOTO # 4). OF EACH TRACK CAN BE VARIED AND TRANSFERRED TO A SECOND DECK TO PROVIDE THE EXACT DESIRED AUDIO BALANCE. LOWER SECTION, CENTER OF THE DECK, IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS. THREE : ERASE, RECORD, PLAYBACK.

SALE IS OPEN ONLY TO BUYERS IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES (LOWER 48 STATES ONLY). SALE NOT OPENS TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS. Currently, there are only a few states where this applies but more states will likely “jump on the bandwagon” as this becomes a popular source of state revenue. IN THE SEARCH BLOCK, JUST TYPE IN “REEL TAPE”. LAST TIME I TYPED IN “REEL TAPE”, THERE WERE OVER 2,280 SEPARATE LISTINGS!! AND THE LISTINGS INCLUDE 7″ REEL TAPES AS WELL AS 10.5″ REEL TAPES; THE SUPPLY IS EXTENSIVE!! AND YOU CAN OFTEN FIND BLANK TAPE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED AT ALL; STILL SEALED IN THE ORIGINAL CELLOPHANE RAPPER IN BOTH THE 7″ REEL SIZE, AS WELL AS THE 10.5″ REEL SIZE. GENERALLY SPEAKING, ABOUT THREE DAYS. WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS AFTER I RECEIVE MY TAPE RECORDER? MY BUSINESS CARD WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE TAPE RECORDER. IS THIS TAPE RECORDER EASY TO OPERATE? 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. DO YOU HAVE OTHER TEAC RECORDERS THAT YOU WOULD SELL, THAT ARE NOT SHOWN IN THIS LISTING?
