Favorite Decks

[speakerman1]

I like my Naks. Even the 2 head Naks are better than a lot of 3 heads. There is a but in this. I like my Yamahas. They are great. For the money they are the best bang for the buck. I quit buying Naks. I like the Yamahas so well.

Jerry if I ever get my Yamaha K-1020 back I'll let you try it.

For their simplicity, sound, and build, I dig my 2 head BOTL BX Naks. My 3 head Onkyo Integra TA-2600 is my favorite, accubias, top notch build, sounds great and looks cool.

I love my Pioneer RT-2044

Pioneers and JVCs (late seventies and early 80s are my preferred era for JVC).

I have a Sony TC-K75 and upcoming Nakamichi BX-1 that I have yet to truly explore.

I haven't really had much RTR experience but I know I like Teac and Sony and haven't met an Akai RTR that worked of yet other than an M-8.

 

[speakerman1]

I have an Akai and a Pioneer R2R. Both are 7 inchers. Head wise you can't beat the Akai. Still for the money I like my Yamahas.

One day I'll get all my Yamahas in one spot. I know I keep saying that. LOL

Favorite, must I pick just one???

For the moment I am having a lot of fun with the Pioneer RT-701. It just has a coolness factor about it.

For cassette the Tascam 112B is the one I like, no real reason. It makes good sounding tapes and everything plays back well using it. The Naks are nice as is the Teac I picked up from FF. I have just had the Tascam for so long that it has a comfort factor associated with it.

Robert , Joe has been looking for an SMD chip for his Tascam 112B capstan motor, could ya help him out there, thanks.

 

[speakerman1]

Will a 302 work? I have a spare sitting here.

Larry

 

[laatsch55]

Larry, you'd have to ask Joe, he just brought it up in conversation the other day and I don't have a clue. I know he's been lookin quite awhile and he doesn't ask much of us for what he gives so i was hopin someone could help him out.

 

[speakerman1]

I think the 302 motor or something I sent to Robert worked. I'll send the whole board. I'm not pulling a SMD even with the proper stuff to do it. LOL

Larry

 

[laatsch55]

Check with him, i think it's the board that mounts to the motor for speed regulation, BUT NOT SURE.

Hi Guys,

Let me know the details of what is needed and I will do what I can to help... There are drawers of SMD parts sitting in the shop.
