I used this same deck (actually it was the American version: Roberts) in the late seventies to record and playback the music I composed and arranged at the time on a Teac A3340S. It truly delivered a nice analogue sound. Unbeatable today with digital (in my opinion anyway…)

This deck is in very nice condition. It has been fully checked and serviced. The main left amplifier has been replaced and other bits and pieces fixed up to get it back to its former glory. These were truly made to last and represent a sound investment for the collector.

Price: $325 + freight

The deck locks into a suitcase for easy carrying or storage (mind you the weight of this deck is quite impressive at almost 20 kilos!)
