To ensure the best response from the wide variety of tapes available adjustment of, bias and sensitivity, to optimum levels can be performed prior to recording.

Dolby S-type noise reduction provides 24 dB of high frequency noise reduction plus an additional 10 dB of low frequency noise reduction.

We will work with you to make your purchase right as long as you contact us first.

We work very hard to bring these units up to a quality that could surpass even its factory brand new original sound quality. However, this is not a new deck. Its still an analog technology, it still suffers from unwanted noise, it still eats a tape from time to time.

We test our cassette decks for several hours using a combination of very old, worn tapes, new old stock tapes, pre-recorded original tapes, and custom made tapes from our own new tape stock. Only when a deck can make it through a test cycle without any major issues, and without eating a tape, do we post them for sale. Despite all this, it will still eat a tape from time to time.
