Vintage Sony Dictation Machine Cassette Voice Recorder VGC (TCS-580V)

Vintage Sony Dictation Machine Cassette Voice Recorder VGC (TCS-580V)

It has a voice operated recording that permits activation of the recorder only when audible sound is present, conserving tape and eliminating soundless pauses during playback. Also has a handy Cue and Review that provides sound during fast forward or rewind to help find specific passages. Speaker may sound wonky at times but otherwise it works fine playing cassette tapes. The one issue is getting to record with such device, but otherwise playback is great.

Akai CS-55 Invert-O-Matic Cassette Tape Deck Recorder Machine RARE HTF Vintage

Akai CS-55 Invert-O-Matic Cassette Tape Deck Recorder Machine RARE HTF Vintage Does turn on/light up when plugged in! Did not try with a cassette.

Vintage AKAI CD81D 8 track cassette recorder and playback machine. Playback test

This was in my own system as I used to record my own Audio tapes for the car. This is a very heavy quality unit Approx 9KG unpacked. If you look at pic 1 near the words’ cartridge recorder’ you can see a bit of the wood laminate coming away. This is the only defect in the casing. I have tested this using various 8 track cartridges and they all work. I have taken screen shots of the VUE meters moving as a tape is playing. This has NOT been tested recording but I presume it should be ok as well. This is a very rare item and my current system will not connect directly to it. This is your chance to get a bit of Stereo history and this AKAI system was one of the best. I always looked after my stereo well and this has never been abused. I do have a quantity of 8 track Cartridges mostly Prerecorded artists and a list can be supplied if required. There are also some recorded’blanks (90min)’ which were recorded on this machine. A change to wireless home streaming made this item redundant. The item “Vintage AKAI CD81D 8 track cassette recorder and playback machine. Playback test” is in sale since Monday, November 23, 2020.

Tascam Portastudio 464 Vtg 4 Track Machine Cassette Tape Studio Recorder

It powers up and the tape functions respond nicely. When I tried to play a cassette, however, the sound level indicators are working but I could not figure out how to get playback sound thru the headphone jack. I don’t have speakers to test playback, but I would assume there would be the same issue. I also noticed that the DBX NR switch on the back of the unit has broken off. (it can be toggled on/off using a paper clip). I do not know much about these old tape machines but feel free to ask any questions before purchasing. It does not have a box or instructions. See pics for details. The item “Tascam Portastudio 464 Vtg 4 Track Machine Cassette Tape Studio Recorder” is in sale since Sunday, March 18, 2018. This item is in the category “Musical Instruments & Gear\Pro Audio Equipment\Recorders”. The seller is “cayennepepps” and is located in Portland, Oregon. This item can be shipped to United States.
