Picked up a Teac C-3X for cheap from a Canuck Audio Mart ad. It arrived yesterday and is going to the tech tomorrow to be serviced. It is one of two decks used in a Calgary radio station and being sold by a seller in Alberta. Maybe I should have bought the second one, too, for resale purposes...

Hi all, Found this Marantz Model 5220 downtown at Pearl's this morning. The other Marantz deck I have is a Model 5010. Needs a few buttons and lamp replacement. But for $10 it plays and rewinds. No fast forward, however. I may spend a few dollars on it. Playback sound quality is good. And...

Gary was good enough to PM me to ask whether I was interested in a pair of these cassettes, while he had an ad up for them on Canuck Audio Mart. A great deal for the pair and only the second Sony Metal Master, I own. Thank you, Gary. I hope your upcoming move to a new place works out...

Hi all, I drove out to pick up the Denon DR-M4 cassette deck this past Monday. The seller held the deck for me for over a week, while he was still getting plenty of responses to his ad in CAM (Canuck Audio Mart). I was one of the first respondents to his ad when it popped up on CAM and I...

Hi all: I received a parcel from Steven two days ago. While most regular folks were bulk-buying toilet paper and hand sanitizer, I took advantage of the great deal Steven was offering to members for NOS sealed cassettes he was selling. Even though the shipping cost was as much as the contents...
