Sony TC-K71 3-Head Dolby Cassette DeckNOTE:
I had this up last week. A miserable boombox ate one of
my audio test tapes and I needed to make a new one.
So I popped this back up and made 3 tapes and I'm thinking,
this works so great I should keep it. But then, I have two other
decks I use, so I decided to put it back up.
I apologize to the watchers from before.
Now onward:
Great sounding deck, in perfect working condition.
Sony's Sendust & Ferrite head is ar...guably the best type
for both sound quality combined with long life.
The deck supports 4 tape types and works correctly with all.
It makes great sounding recordings.
It features a fine bias adjust to tweak inthe recording if needed.
Dolby can be used with filter off for widest bandwidth.
The deck also has memory rewind; very convenient.
Comes with my 180 days labor warranty.
Owner's manual is free on line.Service:
Transport nearly complete torn down to clean out all the
old sticky lube. Replaced with fresh. This is the usual
failure mode of these decks.
All the belts were changed, of course. The take up idler
was thoroughly cleaned and treated - my special in-house
treatment - and works great.
Tape path was cleaned and de-mag'd and when I checked the
alignment I learned someone had tweaked it all out.
So a full head alignment and path check had to be done per spec.
After that, the electronic alignment came right in with
only a few minor tweaks. Speaks well of head condition
and my alignment.Cosmetics:
It's not bad - look at the pics - but it does have a few nicks and
a small scratch. Notably a scratch by yhe Dolby switch and on the
lower right edge of the front panel. The faux-aluminum soft-touch
buttons show some of the typical staining from use.
The plastic "glass" is all nice and clear.
The top cover is scratched up as is the top of the front panel.
It is very presentable and looked great in my test rack.Shipping:
USPS Priority.
Nicely packed in 20x16x10 box at 18 lbs.
Serial #814122
