Teac V -1RX

I purchased this one on Ebay, as non working. Replaced 2 idlers, belt for servomotor, checked speed, azimuth, levels, recording. Everything checked out perfect. Sounds just great. Great deck. I like analog indicators. Very cool.

Purchased off Craig’s list, needed adjustments, nothing major. Great sounding deck.

Akai GX-9 cassette tape deck

I was given this deck many years ago and kept it in original packing in the garage. Recently I decided to try it and found all the belts, idler, and rollers deteriorated. After replacement, I checked the calibration and now it works like new.

 

Teac A3340S

I bought it off Craig’s list. Needed some repair and restoration. Now it is fully functional and works great.

Teac A-3300SX

Saw it at auction on audiogone.com. Was listed as non working, I took a plunge and got it. Actually I was the only one who wanted it. Picked it up and it took me 15 minutes to figure out and correct problem.

Janszen z-700 speakers

Picked up a pair at Infinity Records in Long Island. At first I just felt intrigued by the look and feel of these vintage pair of speakers. Then , after reading up on them, I learned that mister Janszen was the one who invented electrostatic drivers, and built the first commercial electrostatic based speakers. After about 50 hours of warming up these ones just started to reveal magic. I do not know how to describe it, but it is kind of very hard to turn them off. I drove them with a pair of Rogue Audio Magnum M-120 tubed mono blocks.

Of cause all hardware holding driver was tighten up because of usually they get loose and it affects sound.
