Up for your consideration is my Pioneer RT-707 Auto Reverse Direct Drive Reel to Reel tape deck. Please read the entire description. I’ve had this unit for a little while now. Cleaned it up from what was probably long term storage. None of the other Pioneer equipment that this RT-707 is connected to is included in this sale. As you see in the video, this unit does play in both directions. Obviously this music that it was reproducing was from the 2000’s to show that it was recently recorded onto the not included tape to show this RT707 is capable of recording still. Speaking of, the recording quality is not exactly the same as CD quality or high quality streaming. I noticed this when I recorded this album just earlier this week. The playback is a bit louder with a little more bass it seems. Might just be my ears or possible the the Line level in set at just above 6 during recording. I have not tried to hook up headphones or Mics to the jacks on the front. I have not adjusted the rear potentiometers. The wheels that are on the head are what were there when I bought it. A little lubrication and they spin like a perfect bearing. Counter does not count. So I’m unsure if the repeat button works since I think those two are correlated. Both green lights work in the direction button next to the play button. From research I see this is not usually working still. The brake on the right side does not slow the reel as quickly as the left. So on fast forward or fast reverse and pressing stop may end up in a loose tape needing to be wound back up manually. Might be user error but better for you to know. I took photos earlier this week of this RT707’s case so you can see the condition if you are not going to rack mount. The black metal looks pretty good overall. I customized my cabinet to hold the reel to reel within the 17 3/4 width opening by cutting slits in the side of the wood to hold the face. So if you’ve ever wondered if the full size 7inch reels would fit, and turn, on both sides of the machine and play within the standard width rack, the answer is yes. So long as you can cut the sides to hold the rack mounting face plate. It’s a great little unit that needs a little tinkering to be top notch again. For all those reasons. No wiring schematic is included. Let me know if you have any questions. As of listing this used as described above. Expect a well constructed box for your item.
