Description
Rare Japanese-market Panasonic (aka Technics) RS-B965 3-head direct-drive cassette deck. TOTL deck from 1989-90 with fully Amorphous heads, Dolby B/C and DBX noise reduction. Also includes original remote control. Fully serviced, aligned and calibrated to factory specs. 100% full working order with no issues. There are a few minor scratches on the top cover, otherwise its beautiful. This is a 100v model and I will include brand new 120-100v step-down transformer (see last picture). This deck has numerous upgrades and improvements, including new power supply caps and new signal path caps (Nichicon Muse); replacement of all (5) 4066 CMOS switches with modern Analog Devices ADG6412 super low on-resistance switches with custom adapter boards; sockets have been installed in all op amp positions so you can experiment with op amp rolling for even more improvement in audio quality (original op amps will be installed). There are a handful of other upgrades that dont directly affect the sound--some factory recommended--and I will provide the buyer a detailed list of all the work done. The transport mechanism has had a full tear down, clean, lubrication and fresh belt and runs at perfect speed (less than 0.1% deviation). Wow and flutter is factory spec at 0.03% WRMS, 0.06% peak. Heads are in great shape with low use. Frequency response is flat from 20-20,000Hz. A cassette backlight has been installed. All tactile switches have been replaced. Its a beauty and a delight to hear. Any additional questions, just ask!
