When do you let yourself know that you know?
I have a Teac A-800,Tascam122,Tascam122MarkIII,Tascam112MarkII all Cassette Decks Plus one Sony 288 8Track Player.And a Nakamichi Dragon bought in the '80s and still going strong without any service.I think it's time for service...maybe? BTW if you think the shelf on my decks in the icon is tilted .....it is! One day if they don't fall I'll get around to fixing it.

Over the past couple of years I have downsized my Pioneer collection. It got out of hand. I still have a Pioneer office system consisting of just two pieces. My SX-1080 was rebuilt about two years ago as was a 1011L that I use.

My main listening area consist of all Sony with a couple of odd pieces thrown in.

R2R's: Sony TC-755, 756. 758. 765, 766-2.
Cassettes: Sony TC-K96R, K7II
Receiver: GX9ES
CD Player(s): CDP-C69ES, C15ESD, C801ES
EQ: SEQ400
Timer: PT-59
DBX-router 200 & DBX-expander 3BX
Cables: Belden RG-59 "to many to count.................

Finally figured out how to load the pictures. Here's my Sony's...................

Just added another CT F900. This one has the black control panel.

Nick: So that makes 4 CT-F900s in your possession? Good god, you are about to eclipse my number of Pioneer cassette decks I own. Well... not quite.

That's a lot of heavy-hitters, Ron. Nice to see them all in your one room.

After seeing a few new acquisitions of piano key style cassette decks by members, I have a couple of those, too. Sort of an unusual key arrangement: here's my Marantz 5010:

Great lookin' deck, Nando! I was hoping to pick one of these up as I periodically seem them for sale on our local CL. Any major bugs or things to look out for?

The toggle switches to operate the tape control functions need the usual cleaning, and the powered cassette door can be problematic. I bought mine for $15 a number of years ago. I wouldn't be spending more than $40 for a good working one.

$40 seems about right if it is operational. Might start looking for one down the road. At the very least, it would be a great deck to give away as a gift. Get another person started on the oxide.

Rust never sleeps... right Nick. I think there would be more value for this type of deck with a full-on matching Marantz system of the same style. It would look good in a rack.

Thanks Derek.

Pioneer CT-WM77R

Here's one that I bought from the original owner about six years ago. It's a Pioneer cassette changer handling up to seven cassettes. I have the original packing carton, remote control, operating manual, and factory brochure which came with the deck. I like the unusual.

Man I love the industrial look of those MA-R/XG's... Built like a tank and to last a long time. :thumbright:

Jerry: I got those TDK MA-Rs for cheap, along with a few other premium metal tapes, last year.

Another one on my list to obtain in the future. I remember seeing these when they first came out at the audio show.

Does it have good sound quality?
Does it have blank skip?
Does it have a rotating head for auto reverse?
Is there a random/shuffle function?

Would be great to throw in 7 tapes and just let it run during the day?

Very Curious

I had one in the past and the answer to all your questions is yes. I currently have a Pioneer 6 Cassette deck and it does the same things only it doesn't have the dubbing capability of the seven cassette beast. I got the 6 cassette deck from Larry in our holiday gift exchange a few years back.

Nando, this pic you posted piqued my interest in the multi- tape player and I started making some calls. I think I may have a Pioneer CT WM70R coming later this week if the price is right.... No remote, but that's no biggie to me.
