Including: Brochures, Remote control
Beautiful 3-head sony cassette deck with side wood panels, with no visible scratches.

Almost mint condition estetically. Only one minor scratch on the top left border (see picture), but difficult to see with the eye.

I am the second owner of this device, and I have enjoyed it for the past eight years. Belts recently replaced by skilled friend in 2024. Power inlet replaced with FURUTECH IEC 24k Gold Plated, and EMI filter installed in the power supply.

Original purchase invoice from 1994, and other technical service invoices provided (including replacing of pinch rollers in 2017).

A compatible remote control is provided (not original).

Working condition is also excellent. Pictures provded show Wow&Flutter less than 0,05% RMS. Speed is perfect. Frequency sweep graphs provided for several tapes recorded Type IV, Type II and Type I (these are used tapes, just for showing evidence of the excellent working condition). I guarantee you put a good (new) tape on it and with the right calibration, recording is quality is not distinguishable with the original source when played.

Special features on this deck: Quartz lock drive, dual capstan with saphire bearing, Dolby B, C, S. Switchable HX PRO, calibration mode for achieving the best performance recordings.
