This is a rare and well serviced TEAC V-707RX in excellent working condition!! This TEAC V-707RX is a auto-reverse stereo cassette deck with Dolby B and DBX noise reduction, it was first sold by TEAC in 1983 with a manufacturer suggested retail price of USD $500.
The main features of the TEAC V-707RX are: 3 heads and no off-tape monitoring to save production cost, digital tape counter with 4 digits, manual tape type selection and capable of handling normal, chrome and metal tapes, belt driven auto reverse transport.
Typical front loading cassette deck with the cassette compartiment located on the left side of the deck. Tape eject is operated mechanically and the cassette needs to be placed with the side to be played facing forward in the cassette well.
Level meters used on the V-707RX are generic digital peak reading meters with multi-color indication to provide visual saturation level of tape. Full-logic transport controls used on the V-707RX let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection.
The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the V-707RX by as much as 10 dB at the highest frequencies. Dbx Type II found in the V-707RX is a simplified version of the Type I noise reduction system. The dbx Type II system was designed to be used with systems with limited bandwidth such as cassette based recorders and also uses a simple 2:1:2 compander to reduce noise.
To make live recordings this deck has 2 microphone inputs to connect microphones with a jack connector. For undisturbed listening a jack connector for a pair of stereo headphones is supplied. Connection to other audio components for plaback can be achieved by a RCA cable and recording from a source by a RCA cable. All main transport commands can be issued remotely with a wired remote control.
The belt is still original and in excellent shape (within manufacturer elasticity). All moving mechanisms have been lubricated, capstan and rollers cleaned and play head demagnetized. Please see actual photos below. I ship same day with 1 month warranty.
