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. ACCESSORIES , SUCH AS THE AMPEX 456 METAL 10.5 REELS, AUDIO TAPE, AND THE TEAC TZ-612 REEL HUBS. SHOWN IN THIS LISTING, ARE FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY, AND ARE NOT A PART OF THE SALE. THIS LISTING IS FOR THE X-2000M TAPE DECK RECORDER ONLY. IF YOU NEED ACCESSORIES. THERE ARE DISTINCT ADVANTAGES TO ADDING AN ACCESSORIES KIT TO THE LISTING. YOU SAVE TIME IN THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO INVEST TIME RESEARCHING EACH INDIVIDUAL ACCESSORY SEPARATELY. HERE IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE KITS. I OFFER TWO ACCESSORY KITS, AS AN “ADD-ON”, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, IF YOU NEED ACCESSORIES. CONSISTS OF THE TWO 10.5AMPEX 456 METAL REELS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, AND TWO TEAC TZ-612 HUBS. ONE OF THE REELS HAS 3600′ OF BRAND NEW (NEVER BEFORE RECORDED ON) RMGI LPR-35-34512 (1.0 MIL) BLANK TAPE ON IT. THE OTHER REEL WOULD ACT AS A TAKE-UP REEL. ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS KIT IS A BRAND NEW COPY OF THE ORIGINAL TEAC X-2000M OWNER’S MANUAL. CONSISTS OF ALL THE ITEMS MENTIONED IN THE FIRST KIT, PLUS TWO BRAND NEW RCA TWIN PATCH CORDS, ONE 7″ TAKE-UP REEL AND TAKE-UP REEL STORAGE BOX, ONE 7″ REEL OF “RECORDING FOR THE MASTERS” LPR 35 – 34511 BRAND NEW BLANK TAPE 1800′ IN LENGTH, ON A BRAND NEW FACTORY 7 PLASTIC REEL WITH BRAND NEW FACTORY HARD CARDBOARD STORAGE BOX. THAT WAY YOU ARE ASSURED THAT BOTH WILL ARRIVE AT THE SAME TIME. 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 DOESN’T 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 OWNER’S 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 TEAC X-2000M IS, BY MOST, FELT TO BE TEAC’S FINEST ACHIEVEMENT IN HOME STEREO TAPE DECK RECORDERS. AT THE VERY LEAST, IT IS A. HIGH END, HIGH PERFORMANCE. TWO TRACK, TWO CHANNEL STEREO TAPE DECK, THAT HAS THE CAPACITY FOR MAKING AND PLAYING BACK STUDIO QUALITY MASTER TWO TRACK RECORDINGS AT RECORDING AND PLAYBACK. SPEEDS OF 7-1/2 I. AND, IT HAS THE CAPABILITY TO ALSO PLAYBACK ANY STANDARD TWO TRACK OR FOUR TRACK STEREO PRERECORDED TAPES THAT WERE PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED AT A SPEED OF 7-1/2 I. BUT IT ALSO CAN PLAY THE “NEW “. 1/4 TWO CHANNEL TWO TRACK MASTER TAPE COPIES THAT UTILIZE THE I. THESE “NEW” MASTER TAPE COPIES ARE BEING MADE AVAILABLE ON THE WEB AT THE ” TAPE PROJECT ” WEBSITE, TAPEPROJECT. Com. TEAC WAS A WORLD RETAILER OF REEL TO REEL TAPE DECKS IN THE LAST CENTURY. SO IN ORDER TO MARKET ONE TAPE DECK IN BOTH THE NORTH AMERICAN AND THE EUROPE MARKETS, TEAC ADDED A SWITCH TO THE X-2000M DECK, THAT ALLOWED THE OWNER TO SWITCH BETWEEN N. A. B. (THE USA EQUALIZATION PLAYBACK TAPE STANDARD) AND I. (THE EUROPEAN EQUALIZATION PLAYBACK TAPE STANDARD). (TWO CHANNEL TWO TRACK), UTILIZING THE I. IN ORDER TO PLAY THESE NEW 1/4 TAPE COPIES, YOUR TAPE DECK HAS TO BE ABLE TO RUN AT A SPEED OF 15 I. BE ABLE TO PLAY A 1/4 TWO CHANNEL TWO TRACK TAPE, AND BE ABLE TO PLAYBACK THE MUSIC USING THE I. AND, “LOW AND BEHOLD”, THE OWNER OF THE TEAC X-2000M TAPE DECK CAN DO EXACTLY THAT: THE DECK CAN PLAY ALL OF THE 1/4 TAPES THAT WERE PRODUCED IN THE USA (2T OR 4T) THAT WERE RECORDED AT 7-1/2 I. AND WERE RECORDED, USING THE N. A. B. AND, IF DESIRED, THE OWNER CAN FLIP THE SWITCH ON THE BACK OF THE TAPE DECK FROM N. A. B. C AND LISTEN TO. TAPES, THAT ARE RECORDED AT 15 I. IN TWO CHANNEL TWO TRACK FORMAT, THAT USE THE I. ” THAT” IS WHAT MAKES THIS DECK SO VALUABLE! SIDE NOTE: THE X-1000M HAS THE SAME SWITCH FROM N. A. B. BUT THE SWITCH LOCATION FOR THE X-1000M IS NOT ON THE BACK; IT’S INSIDE THE CASE. SO YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE CASE TO SWITCH FROM I. TO N. A. B. WHEN USING THE X-1000M. IN THE FOUR TRACK MODE, IT PLAYS TRACKS 1 AND 3 IN ONE DIRECTION. AND WHEN THE TAPE IS FLIPPED OVER, IT PLAYS TRACKS 2 AND 4 (JUST LIKE ANY STANDARD TAPE RECORDER). BUT IT IS ANYTHING BUT A. A FEW OTHER FEATURES THAT TAKE IT OUT OF THE. INERTIA ROLLERS, AND AN AUTOMATIC TIMER FEATURE. AND THERE ARE MORE FEATURES. FEATURES SUCH AS ELECTRONIC BRAKING, REAL TIME PAUSE, PUNCH IN RECORDING, AUTO SKIP PLAYBACK, AUTO SPACER, VARIABLE PITCH CONTROL, SEARCH TO ZERO, SEARCH TO CUE, AND BLOCK REPEAT. IT HAS INPUT CAPABILITY TO MAKE A RECORDING FROM VIRTUALLY ANY SOURCE (CD’S, FM, ANOTHER TAPE DECK, MINI-DISC PLAYER, RECORD TURNTABLE, AND OF COURSE, MICROPHONE). AND IT CAN USE 10.5″ AND 7″ REELS OF TAPE. THERE ARE SEVERAL U-TUBE VIDEOS ON THE X-2000M OPERATING FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS. TO SEE ONE OR MORE OF THESE HANDS-ON DEMONSTRATION VIDEOS, JUST GO TO THE WEB AND TYPE IN. TEAC X-2000M U-TUBE VIDEO RESULTS. COSMETIC APPEARANCE OF THIS TEAC X-2000M TAPE DECK RECORDER. COSMETICS ARE REALLY SUBJECTIVE AND PERSONAL. SOME PEOPLE EXPECT ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. AND OTHERS HAVE NO PROBLEM ACCEPTING A SCUFF OR TWO. CONDITION OF THIS TEAC X2000M TAPE RECORDER. THIS X-2000M RECORDER IS, IN MY OPINION, 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 (PICTURED IN PHOTO # 12). TOM’S PERSONAL COMMENT, “LOW MILEAGE” (WHICH MEANS THE OWNER DIDN’T USE IT; IT’S ALMOST NEW AT THIS POINT). THE FINAL BENCH TEST FOUND THIS DECK TO BE OPERATING PERFECTLY, WITHIN TEAC’S ORIGINAL. EVERYTHING ON THE DECK IS IN. I WAS PRESENT AND WITNESSED THE FINAL BENCH TEST RECENTLY; AND EVERYTHING WORKED PERFECTLY. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF A FEW OF THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONS OF THE TEAC X-2000M. STANDARD FOUR TRACK STEREO TAPE PLAYBACK. OR IT CAN PLAY 7 TAPES YOU HAVE PERSONALLY RECORDED IN THE PAST. WHEN RECORDING IN THE TWO TRACK MODE, YOU CAN USE EITHER 7″ REELS OR 10.5″ REELS. WHEN USING 10.5 REELS OF TAPE, YOU HAVE SEVERAL HOURS OF RECORDING TIME AT YOUR COMMAND. THE TWO MOST COMMON TAPE LENGTHS IN 10.5 REEL SIZE ARE 2500 FEET AND 3600 FEET. WITH A 3600 FOOT REEL OF TAPE YOU HAVE 1-1/2 HOURS OF RECORD TIME IN ONE DIRECTION AT 7-1/2 I. EVEN AT THE SPEED OF 7-1/2 I. THE X-2000M DELIVERS A VERY IMPRESSIVE FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF 30 TO 40,000 HZ!! 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 X-2000M, THE FAST FORWARD AND FAST REWIND FUNCTIONS ARE ALSO CONTROLLED BY FINGER-TOUCH SOLENOID OPERATION. (SOLENOID SWITCH CONTROLS SHOWN IN PHOTO # 6 OF THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS). NOT ALL DECKS OFFER THIS HANDY FEATURE. THIS KNOB ALLOWS YOU TO CONTROL THE OUTPUT SIGNAL THAT GOES FROM THE TAPE DECK TO YOUR STEREO SYSTEM. BY TURNING THE KNOB YOU CAN EASILY ADJUST THE SIGNAL LEVEL TO EQUAL THE VOLUME LEVEL OF OTHER COMPONENTS IN YOUR STEREO SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THAT YOU CAN LOWER OR RAISE THE OUTPUT SIGNAL TO MATCH THE LEVEL OF YOUR OTHER COMPONENTS (SO THAT ONE COMPONENT IS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY LOUDER THAN ANOTHER, WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN COMPONENTS). OUTPUT CONTROL SHOWN IN PHOTO # 6 IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS. THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF THE TEAC X-2000M. IS NOTHING SHORT OF OUTSTANDING. 30 TO 40,000 HZ AT 7-1/2 I. TO 40,000 HZ AT 15 I. DETAILS SHOWN IN THE SPECIFICATIONS SECTION BELOW. RECORD BIAS AND EQ SWITCHES. AS TECHNOLOGY SKYROCKETED IN THE 60’S AND 70’S, 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 X-2000M 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 THE. EQ CONTROLS (SHOWN IN PHOTO # 6 IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS). EASY TWIST-LOCK REEL RETAINERS. ANOTHER NICE FEATURE OF THE X-2000M ARE 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. (SHOWN IN PHOTO # 3 IN GALLERY OF PHOTOS). ANOTHER FEATURE YOU WON’T FIND ON EVERY DECK IS TAPE MONITOR SWITCHES (WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO MONITOR THE SOURCE AND THE TAPE AS RECORDING IS TAKING PLACE). TAPE MONITOR SWITCH SHOWN IN PHOTO # 6 IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS. TRUE TAPE MONITORING IS POSSIBLE WITH THE TEAC X-2000M. 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 A SOURCE COMING INTO THE TAPE DECK TO BE RECORDED AND. AS YOU ARE RECORDING, YOU CAN PRESS THE MONITOR SWITCH “IN” OR “OUT”, WITHOUT DISTURBING THE ACTUAL RECORDING PROCESS. WHEN YOU PRESS THE MONITOR SWITCH “IN”, YOU ARE THEN LISTING TO THE EXACT FM SIGNAL COMING INTO THE TAPE RECORDER. AND WHEN YOU PRESS THE MONITOR SWITCH. “OUT”, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY BE LISTENING TO THE ACTUAL TAPE RECORDING THAT IS BEING MADE, ABOUT 0.2. 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. T EVEN PROVIDE MICROPHONE JACKS FOR MAKING LIVE RECORDINGS, OR HEADPHONE JACKS FOR SILENT LISTENING OR. MONITORING PURPOSED DURING RECORDING. THE X-2000M NOT ONLY HAS BOTH, BUT ALSO PUTS THEM RIGHT UP FRONT ON THE FACEPLATE IN A HANDY POSITION, LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE DECK FOR THE MICS, LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER FOR THE HEADPHONES. SEE PHOTO # 3 MIC JACKS, AND HEADPHONE JACKS. UP-RIGHT OR HORIZONTAL OPERATION. THE TEAC X-2000M TAPE DECK IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN EITHER THE UP-RIGHT, VERTICAL POSITION, OR THE HORIZONTAL POSITION. TEAC PROVIDED FOUR “FEET” ON THE BACK OF THE TAPE DECK HOUSING. (SHOWN IN PHOTO # 9, IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS). TO LIFT THE DECK OFF OF THE SURFACE, WHEN THE DECK IS RESTED IN A HORIZONTAL FASHION, TO ALLOW FOR PROPER VENTILATION. THE UP-RIGHT POSITION IS PREFERRED FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE MOST EFFICIENT VENTILATION. PITCH CONTROL IS A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER FEATURE, WHICH IS NORMALLY ONLY FOUND IN MORE EXPENSIVE RECORDERS. LET’S SAY YOU HAD AN OLD TAPE RECORDER, MANY YEARS AGO. AND FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER (MAYBE THE BELTS WERE A BIT WORN OR A LITTLE STRETCHED) AND THE RECORDINGS MADE ON IT TURNED OUT SOUNDING. JUST A LITTLE BIT SLOWER, WHEN PLAYED ON ANOTHER TAPE RECORDER. THOSE TAPES CAN EASILY BE ADJUSTED TO SOUND PERFECT, USING THE PITCH CONTROL. YOU SIMPLY TURN THE PITCH CONTROL KNOB UNTIL THE SOUND IS PERFECT. OR MAYBE YOU HAVE AN OLD TAPE THAT IS WOUND SO TIGHT THAT WHEN PLAYED, IT SOUNDS A BIT SLOW. MAYBE IT’S A ½ MIL TAPE. THE PITCH CONTROL FEATURE WILL CORRECT THAT PROBLEM. JUST BY TURNING THE PITCH CONTROL KNOB. PITCH CONTROL SHOWN IN. PHOTO # 4 IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS. SUPERIOR TENSION ARM DESIGN. TENSION ARMS TAKE UP TAPE SLACK, STABILIZE TAPE MOVEMENT, AND STOP THE TAPE DECK IF THE TAPE BREAKS OR THE TAPE RUNS OUT. THE X10R TENSION ARM DESIGN IS SUPERIOR TO OTHER COMPETITIVE DESIGNS, BECAUSE THE X-2000M EMPLOYS SMOOTHED CHANNELED ROLLERS THAT GENTLY ROTATE ALONG WITH THE TAPE MOVEMENT, AND ADJUST TO THE TENSION THAT IS PLACED ON THE TAPE. CONTRIBUTES GREATLY TO THE PRESERVATION. AND PROTECTION OF YOUR TAPES. X-2000M TENSION ARMS IN ACTION IN PHOTO # 1 IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS. THE X-2000M INERTIA TAPE ROLLERS TURN WITH THE TAPE AND HELP TO STABLIZE TAPE BOUNCE FOR SMOOTH TAPE RUNNING; SIMPLY ANOTHER REFINEMENT TO THIS ALREADY SUPERIOR TAPE RECORDER. THE INERTIA ROLLERS SHOWN, IN ACTION, JUST TO THE INSIDE OF THE TENSION ARMS, IN PHOTO # 1 IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE X-2000M IS IT’S ” DUAL CAPSTAN CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM “. TO RECORD AND PLAY TAPES, THE TAPE MUST BE IN CONTACT WITH THE HEADS, OTHER WISE DROPOUTS AND IMPAIRED PERFORMANCE WILL OCCUR. THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO MAINTAIN THIS CONTACT. PRESSURE PADS, BACK TENSION, AND THE DUAL CAPSTAN CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM. BUT THE PERFORMANCE IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED UNSATISFACTORY. BACK TENSION IS MORE COMPLEX IN DESIGN, BUT GIVES EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE. THE MOST SOPHISTICATED AND THE SUPERIOR DESIGN METHOD IS THE DUAL CAPSTAN CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM. WITH THE DUAL CAPSTAN APPROACH, THE TAPE IS KEPT TAUT ACROSS THE HEADS BY HAVING TWO PINCH ROLLERS/CAPSTANS WHICH ROTATE AT VERY SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SPEEDS; THE CAPSTAN NEAR THE TAKE UP REEL ROTATES FASTER THAN THE ONE NEAR THE SUPPLY REEL. S, THERE BY GIVING THE X-2000M A MUCH SUPERIOR SOUND PERFORMANCE THAN OTHER DECKS USING A DIFFENENT METHOD OF MAKING TAPE/HEAD CONTACT. (SEE THE DUAL CAPSTAN PINCH ROLLERS IN PHOTO # 3 IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS). ALL TEAC TAPE DECKS I SELL ARE TREATED LIKE THEY WERE EXPENSIVE GLASSWARE. I’VE BEEN USING THESE CUSTOM STYROFOAM BRACES SINCE 2008. CHECK OUT PHOTO # 10 IN THE GALLERY OF PHOTOS. 4 HEADS: ERASE, RECORD, 2T PLAYBACK AND 4T PLAYBACK. (+, – 0.5%).

CONSEQUENTLY, IT MIGHT BE PRUDENT TO SAVE THE BOX AND THE BOXING MATERIALS, JUST IN CASE THE NEED FOR A RETURN MALFUNCTION ARISES IN THE 30 DAY GUARANTEE PERIOD. AT A POST OFFICE, A POST OFFICE BOX, OR AN A. IS OPEN ONLY TO BUYERS IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES (LOWER 48 STATES ONLY). SALE NOT OPEN TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS. ONCE EXECUTED, THE SALE WILL BE FINAL. 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 OWNER’S 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 OWNER’S 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? I HAVE BOTH 7″ TEAC TAPE DECKS AS WELL AS 10.5″ TEAC TAPE DECKS MODELS 3300S, 3300SX, 3300SR, 2300S, 2300SR, 2300SX, 4300, 4300SX, 2300SD, 2340, 2340R, ETC.
