PIONEER RT - 909 Reel To Reel Autoreverse Stereo Tape Deck Recorder

Hi and thanks for looking and taking your time to read. I'm letting go of another of my tape machines, this time, my Pioneer RT-909. I have too many decks and will be selling several in the coming weeks. This machine is plug and play ready. It works perfectly. Tape to source comparison during recording on LPR35, Maxell, and TDK Audua is perfect in both levels and sound quality. All functions work as they should. All buttons, knobs, lights and switches work as they should. It has been c...arefully maintained throughout the course of its life here with me as part of my stereo system. It does not require any service at this time, as it is working as it should. The capstan(s) belt was recently replaced, along with some much other regular maintenance. Capstans cleaned and oiled.. thrust bearings cleaned and new lithium grease applied.The main power supply capacitor was replaced. The 15 volt rail downstairs checked and set. The reel motor drive section has all new capacitors as well as the rectifiers and motor drive transistors. The pinch roller linkage was rebuilt and lubricated and the tension arms were rebuilt with the proper lubricants and damping fluid.It has brand new pinch rollers from Terry Witt .. Terry's rubber rollers. It does not get hot like so many of these non maintained machines.. runs cool as a cucumber, and like a new deck. Pick your favorite smooth running car.  As you can see in the last pic, I'm kind of a tape deck nerd. And I'm very peculiar about making sure these machines perform as they should. I have been collecting, owning and using reel to reel decks since the early 70s. I did put my MRL calibration reel on today after cleaning and demagnitizing the heads and all levels throughout the frequency range on the tape were spot on in both channels. The heads are in great condition .. see pics!  I will include a nice pair of original pioneer hub adapters that are in perfect condition and a metal take up reel. You will not be disappointed with this tape deck. I have been selling audio equipment and stereo gear on Ebay since 2002, with 100 percent positive feedback.  I will ship SAME DAY as payment is received, or next day if it received after hours. It will be professionally packed and insured to arrive as you see it in this listing.  Packed, it weighs 55 pounds and the box is 24x18x18. Please feel free to email with any questions and thank you again for looking. Have a great week!
