[J!m]

I do recall Triad but never used them either.

Thanks for taking the time to explain that!

I thought it was pretty cool too Miles. Pretty unique stuff..

Still one of my favourites...

I had never even heard of "That's" until after I got back into cassettes again.

no need to say that, compared to yours, the quality of my pics really sucks.

Thank you Vince.

Here is another 'yummie' one:

Some may have already seen it, but for the sake of fun...this is how a cassette tape looks like: No shell, no guides, no brain!

I detect a Revox Deck.

 

[borchee]

Yep.

I recognize Nakamichi decks, first picture is a classic mechanism, second is a Sankyo mechanism.

Well Done, you know your decks

 

[derek92994]

Only reason I recognized the Revox was because of the pinch rollers and red LED light. I have never owned one, but they are certainly built well, something like 4 direct drive motors at a guess.

Derek, your guess is spot-on. Actually, Revox/Studer decks (B710, B215, H1, A710, A721) are the only dual-capstan decks with full direct drive - both capstans and both reels are driven by their individual motor. BTW, my first two replies to you are links.

Easily overlooked, I checked the threads out, interesting, thank you. On the subject of Pinch rollers, I am still using original ones in my BX-300's (3 of) and 670ZX. Wow and Flutter does not bother me as long as its 0.04% or less. In fact it would have to be as high as 0.1% for me to notice it during normal listening.

My favorites:



These cassettes of my youth...

Very good sound, especially the 54. Unfortunately, I miss the 64 and 84 to have the complete series. I'm still looking for them.
