You’re looking at the legendary tascam 244 4-track tape unit! Bought this unit completely refurbished in 2019 and made a handful of recordings with it. It sounds as great as it looks! The home studio is getting smaller these days and it’s time to pass this thing on to the next analog enthusiast. The playback sounds great and the transport controls all function properly. I haven’t tested the mic inputs. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.

Tascam 244 Portastudio – Vintage 4-Track Cassette Recorder. Tested to basic functionality. Please read full description. This is a vintage Tascam 244 Portastudio that powers on and plays audio through the headphone jack. All meters light up and respond when a tape is playing. Pitch control slider works and does affect the speed, but playback is noticeably fast and sounds pitched up (think “Alvin and the Chipmunks”). Likely needs a belt replacement or internal speed calibration, which is common for units of this age. I have not tested recording or all input/output jacks. What I know works. Unit powers on. All 4 VU meters light up and respond to signal. Tape plays back. Audio comes through headphones. Pitch slider has some effect. Playback speed is too fast (likely a belt or motor adjustment issue). No further testing has been done inputs, recording, etc. Unit is in good vintage condition with expected wear for its age. Some minor surface marks and scuffs, but overall clean. All buttons and sliders appear to be intact and functional. This is a great candidate for repair or restoration, or even for someone who wants to mod it. These units are getting harder to find and are known for their classic lo-fi analog warmth. Tascam 244 unit only (no cables, power adapter is built-in). No original box or manual. Please ask any questions prior to purchasing.
