A Sony TC K611s in mint condition. Recently changed over belts and pinch roller. Other is a Sony TC K71. Also in mint condition with new belts and pinch rollers. Was really lucky to find the K 71. Bought it as a non working deck for $45. It turned on but the motors didn't run. Found the semi conductors had broken solder connections so a quick dab with the soldering iron it worked perfectly. Also recently picked up the Tapecorder monitor SB-500. This way I can switch between decks to my amp.
Very nice decks. I've had a K615 and it's a great deck. A bit plasticky to my taste but sounding great indeed. And with good calibration features. Watching the tape you have there I think I wouldn't mind to swap a mixtape with you ;-) Take a look at the mixtape swapping subforum...
Yes, it's ok, but maybe you find it easier to upload here directly. There's no need to use external services if you wish. Did you see this? http://stereo2go.org/forums/pages/how-to-post-photos/
Nice! Looking out for a great looking and sounding deck, I have my eye on something but I believe that the same thing rings true with boomboxes as with cassette decks in that their beauty is in the eye of the beholder, regardless of whether a user thinks one is crap, they are brilliant to another.
I agree. Read some bad reviews on the K611s but mine is working great and the sound is very good too. I just don't see myself spending $500-$1000 for the top of the line ES models. Well not yet anyway.
I think I may just have what you are looking for Dave. I feel a trade coming on.... will pm you tomorrow.
Nice. Such a nice deck. The fonts they used for the lettering scream old school. Is it still encased in wood?
Both Decks look beautiful. What is the red color little component behind the cassette ? is it a walkman?
