The old fabled Pioneer SPEC 1. By the 70's those lucky guys who could have a Spec series combo at home, rapidly became the king of the block! The Spec 1 price in 1978 was $600.00 !!!! But then came Mr. Carver with his C 4000 and put an end to Pioneer's kingdom. I do have both and definitely the...

Yes, the DC 300A indeed were all replaced in the discoteques by the BGW 750, a classic and a standard in those arenas. I do have 2 DC 300A with cabinets and 5 D 150A. These BGW's were a newer design, more reliable and powerful than the Crowns. That's why the changed it. The same happened in the...

Ha! The power is a beast and the plate is a "Marine Paella".

Finally I got a very good condition BGW 750B amplifier. Back in the 80's while attending college, I worked as a Disc Jockey at the old Ilusiones Disco in Puerto Rico. They got 3 BGW's amps with JBL speakers working all night long from Thursday to Sunday every week. These amps got abused...

7000 & 5000 on Display Well, here're my 2 Teac Z series decks: The Z 7000 and the Z 5000...together with my music room components. :happy7:

Yes, there were several cassette duplication boutique plants running on real time decks. The most used were the MR 2. I, myself started with 25 of these. There were Elite in North Carolina with 50 MR 2 and AApex in Los Angeles running 103 MR 2's ! In Maine, Klaritty Cassette using 50 Revox B 215...

Recording with DBX on the 5000 Today, I decided to give it a shot to a cassette tape encoded with dbx and see what happens. I rarely do this because dbx compatibility in other decks is rare. Anyway, it was a mixed tape of rock: Toto, Kansas, Fleetwood Mack, Frank Zappa, Maroon 5, Journey...

Nice!

Time to celebrate! Today, I received my Z 5000 from Sam Palermo in Chicago. Wow! The machine is like new and the damages suffered in transit from Canada to Chicago due to bad packaging are not visible! Sam reconstructed it and it's excellent! The sound and functions are like it is suppose to...

You got that right...it just brings me memories when the bug bite me years ago...in a couple of months I already had over 80 pieces! Only then my wife started complaining,so, I was lucky! Very nice indeed, Dave. Enjoy it! :bounce:

A pair of Fourier Panther Amps: 250w p/ch mono blocks. Tube. Simply breathless. My Crowns are really nice. DC-300 II A for the lows and D 150 II for the highs. Tested 2 D 150 in Mono...1 DC 300 A alone made circles around those both. No doubt about it. Here're some photos of amps I have owned...

Thank you! Oh! man, I really appreciate it! If I go for it, you will ship it to Sam in Chicago for a tune-up, and then he can ship it to me. I'm watching another one,so, I'll keep you posted. Again, thanks for your consideration. Carlos "El Magnifico"

Well, I just talked with the guy...unfortunately, he has health issues and is not willing to get into shipping etc. It's just a local pick up deal. I'm too distant from California and has no relatives there,so, I think the Z 6000 has to wait. El Magnifico :sad2:

Taking into consideration the scarcity and rareness of these machines, plus the nice condition this guy has kept his toys, I honestly consider that the prices are a bargain! A year ago, a non-working Z 7000 with superb cosmetics went for $1,600.00 at ebay. I bought one for $800.00 with missing...

Indeed!

Thanks so much, Nando!

Nice! Looking forward to!

Hey Nando: What about that article you promised me? Ha! El Magnifico

Please Nando. I'm anxious to see it. Thanks!

Sam Palermo???? Nahhhh, he doesn't know anything about TEAC....Ha! After 40 years dealing with it, he just re-invented many of them and make them better :bounce: Sam, please let me know when my Z 5000 arrive in your hands. The guy send it to you directly from Canada. Please remember that my Z...
