- You never have too much tapedecks ^^
As we talked about the Teac V-9, here is it !
Picture from the net to show the original box.
The white & orange look makes it really cool, like it or not, it doesn't looks like any other decks.
A mid range 2 header with common features and some very unique, such as :
The multi-colored vu meters using incandescent light bulbs instead of leds (white leds didn't existed back then I suppose).
The mic inputs and the headphone jack are covered by this nice "V-9" shaped dust cover.
The rec level faders are coupled with slipping blades, a very ingenious system that makes easy to adjust the main recording level without messing the balance (try that on a Nakamichi 480).
It's the first Teac cassette deck that features a motorized cam driven mechanism.
Smooth and quiet, no more clunky solenoids.
The same layout was used in several other Teac's in the 80's and 90's.
