Description
Welcome to ELC Audio Engineering and my eBay store. Please read the description carefully before bidding or asking questions. I am not a surplus dealer, nor do I operate a calibration (metrology) service. I am a semi-retired physicist/hearing scientist/EE and author. Nearly all items come from my personal lab and collection of miscellany (meaning I have reasonable knowledge of the items being sold). Shipping: eBay does NOT automatically adjust for the shipping cost of combined items. If you purchase multiple items that can be combined into a single shipment, please ask for an invoice so that I can deduct from the shipping (and save you money!). I charge for actual shipping only (i.e. no added fees) using eBays shipping calculator. International bidders must use eBays International shipping service. Please read [1] for additional shipping info. I do not use stock photos or canned descriptions. What you see in my photos is exactly what youre bidding on. I do not borrow photos from other sellers, nor do I use eBays database. Other sellers have used my photos (noting I have zero affiliation with those sellers), and why I have added the tungsten (atomic symbol W) coffee mug for personal identification. If sellers arent using their own photos, then you really dont know what youre buying or bidding on. Photos are an integral part of my descriptions: Please view all photos carefully. If something isnt clear, please ask questions before you bid. Pictures may include test equipment, cables, connectors, and auxiliary equipment that are not a part of the auction. Please read the description carefully so you know exactly what you are bidding on. With very few exceptions, I do not accept returns. Read [2] for further details regarding this policy. Nothing in this listing is misleading--check my feedback as a seller [3]. Many thanks for keeping eBay a positive buying and selling experience. This listing is for a TASCAM 122 / 122-B Professional stereo cassette deck. The Professional, or B version has XLR connectors for balanced inputs and outputs (I/Os) as well as conventional RCA jacks (which, by design, are unbalanced connectors). You can see the XLR and RCA jacks in the photos. There are also front-panel RCA input jacks. When using the XLR inputs, be sure to switch from LINE 1 to XLR on the back panel. The TASCAM 122B can also play and record at double tape speed for better performance (but halving a cassette tapes time). I purchased this cassette deck not too long ago from a reputable dealer that also provides factory-authorized service. I will state that the physical condition of this deck hardly matched the dealer/sellers representative photos, but at least its in great working condition. With my auctions, what you see is EXACTLY what you get. I used this deck to digitize / archive about twenty 90-minute cassettes (mostly recordings of radio shows and not available elsewhere). The reasons I chose a TASCAM 122B Professional deck were 1) I wanted the balanced (XLR) connectors to interface with a professional console/digitizer with balanced inputs, 2) my recording media includes standard, chrome, and metal tape (the 122-B accommodates all three), and 3) TASCAMs reputation for their top-quality cassette decks. I chose this particular deck because it came with a warranty (not transferable, but I could possibly work with the dealer) and it was fully inspected and serviced just before I bought it. According to the dealer, the following services were performed: New VU indicator lamps * New capstan motor * New gears * Pinch roller checked (and changed if it was worn) * Erase head was tested, cleaned and demagnetized * Playback head was tested, cleaned and demagnetized * All of the deck was cleaned inside as well as lubricated. Please view all photos, as theyre better descriptors than my writing. You can see all cosmetic blemishes, namely some rack rash from having been installed and removed from 19 equipment racks (not my doing). I placed the unit in a rack as well (noting it does NOT have rubber bumper feet for this reason): You can see my modest setup in one of the photos. Again, I only used this deck for 30 hours max based on digitizing twenty 90-minute analog tapes, but not all cassettes had program material on both side (meaning actual time LESS than 30 hours). The TASCAM 122 / 122-B is a fantastic cassette deck for professional AND home use. This deck, without packing, weighs 22.5 lbs. It will be carefully packed and shipped via FedEx Home or Ground delivery. I added a photo showing how this deck is being packed for safe shipping. Thank you for viewing! Reminder: International buyers must choose eBays International Shipping Service. [1] I pack items with great care--the same way Id like to receive a delicate or valuable item. Like other sellers, I do not have control over shipping costs or carrier delivery time. Small- and medium-sized items will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Larger parcels will be shipped via FedEx Home or FedEx Ground. Unlike Jeff B, neither eBay nor I operate our own shipping services--this means no free, prime, or overnight shipping (although I ship some items for free depending on size). [2] Why I no longer accept returns: In a few unfortunate incidences, bidders with buyers remorse had intentionally damaged perfectly good equipment in order to receive a refund. In other instances, buyers were simply incompetent: Equipment was damaged because these buyers did not know how to properly use or handle it; yet, they wanted refunds because of the damage they had caused. Bottom line: No returns! If the wrong item is shipped or if their is a gross oversight on my part (I have yet to do either of these), I will promptly refund or exchange the item and pay for return shipping. Please understand what youre buying is USED unless its clearly stated as new. [3] Im batting 100% positive feedback after nearly two decades of buying and selling on eBay*. I kindly leave positive feedback for those who do the same. Prior to my current username, I had over 1500 combined selling and buying reviews with 100% positive feedback. *(I changed my username since starting on eBay in order to reflect my current business.) Regarding sensitive electronic equipment: I encourage all viewers to compare my listings to other sellers listings and photos: If a printed circuit board is placed on anything other than an ESD mat, then the seller doesnt know how to exercise appropriate ESD precautions. Many electronic components are easily compromised or destroyed due to improper handling. I use appropriate ESD protection measures when handling static-sensitive equipment. Items that are ESD sensitive will be shipped in anti-static wrapping. I do not entertain best offers, nor do I end auctions early. Item will be sold to the high bidder (heck, a single bidder might get a fantastic deal). Items not paid for after 72 hours will be re-listed.
