New Tape Deck Day

[madbean]

This is my second Onkyo of this model. I had one through most over the 90's which I used for mixing down 4-track recordings. Sometime in the 2000's I had this in a closet and without thinking about it I put a heavy car speaker on top of it which completely destroyed the heads. I probably should have kept it and attempted a repair but I didn't. Anyway, I still have tons of mixdown tapes and band rehearsals I want to digitize so I picked this one up for a fairly reasonable price. I could use my Tascam for transfers but I'm trying to save that just for 4-track recordings since I don't know how much longer it will keep working!

This is a nice deck with high speed dubbing and a record level knob. Really heavy, too.

That's sweet!  I need to find myself an old tape deck and a minidisc player so I can transfer a bunch of old band recordings.   It's kind of low on the priority list right now though.  What I really need is a new record player.

That's a lot nicer than the TEAC deck I used for mix down.

Nothing like tape porn.  Ooooohhhhh baby.

Onkyo made some good stuff.  I like that display.  I can't say that I missssssssss recording on tape.
