![]() NEW LISTING 9/29/09 (Click on above thumbnails to enlarge photos) PRE-OWNED / REFURBISHED PIONEER CASSETTE TAPE DECK CT-WM77R CTWM77R #...285N 6 TAPE CHANGER! DUAL-WELL With DOLBY B, C and HX Pro & DUAL-WELL RECORDING & DUAL "QUICK" AUTO-REVERSE & "RELAY" PLAY / RECORD Circa 1991 MIJ for sale We have completely gone through this unit. All mechanics cleaned and tested. Rubber pinch rollers have been reconditioned, capstan burnished, heads have been cleaned and de-magnetized as well as the entire transport. All internal pots, switches and controls cleaned and tested for noise-free function. All Fluorescent display segments working fine. Both spindles in perfect alignment. FF, REW, & Play transport functions all test perfectly and controls positively responsive. Eject doors and changer mechanism operates smoothly. Heads in "like new" shape as well, with many years of performance left in them and head alignment / azimuth has been checked for peak performance. Plays perfectly and after adjustment, records well at -0dB on all tape type / NR combinations! (and we really put them through the paces, testing both with well mixed, recently recorded CD material and CD recorded / factory test tones looking for correct head Azimuth and speed accuracy). Pinch roller and heads all in GREAT condition!!! Both level meters playback even. Speed adjusted to 100% accuracy with 1kHz factory test tape meaning that our 1kHz test tone tape, plays back at 1kHz on BOTH WELLS and BOTH SPEEDS! Deck looks like NEW, works and sounds great! ____________________________ We commonly will not give a "dubbing" / dual well cassette deck a second look as there weren't many that were not simply two cheap decks in one box. I KNOW, as I have sold hundreds of them new by just about every brand. I always tried to persuade anyone looking for a "real" deck, to generally avoid them and just get a good, single play deck or two single play decks. "Dubbing" decks, as a general rule just didn't have quality transports or decent specs. There were, however a handful of exceptions that combined the convenience of a dubbing deck, with quality and we have posted a few with our high quality single well decks! This Pioneer CT-WM77R is one of those few! It's super quality in design and build, and it's loaded. Not only is it a double well, with Double Auto-Reverse, and Double-Well Recording, Deck "A" is a 6 tape changer! This is an incredible deck for performance and IT'S LOADED! It would be at home in any audio system. Features include: - 6 + 1 Cassette Tape Changer - Dual-well design with both decks being essentially identical internally and BOTH WELLS RECORD! - Dolby B & C Noise Reduction built-in - HX-PRO (Extended Head-Room Recording) - Relay Recording. This means that you can record all 7 tapes on both sides for over 10 hours of continuous recording time w' standard 90 minute tapes - IC Logic "touch-control" tape transport on both decks - Super-quality tape heads - "MS" Music Search" cuing - Both Normal and High (2X) speed dubbing - Auto-Selector for Normal, CrO2 & Metal Tape Type - Full fluorescent readout screen - Dual fluorescent signal level meters that are shared and can be utilized with either tape well. - Dual Mode, Digital tape counter for either tape well. Gives "Standard" count or "Real Time" - Record Level control - Record Mute function on both wells - Timer Play / Record / Off selector - 1/4" Stereo Headphone jack - Optional Remote Control capable (not included or available from us) - "CD Synchro" for other Pioneer compatible gear Specs: Track format - 4 track / 2 channel Motors - 4 total (2 each well) Wow & Flutter (WRMS) - 0.055% Freq Response (-20dB) - 20-19,000 Hz, Metal Tape S/N ratio "A" weighted - 57dB NR Off, @ 3% THD - 67dB Dolby B On - 76dB Dolby C On This Pioneer CT-WM77R is an incredible deck and a rare one too. First cassette changer we've had and the first I've seen since I sold an Aiwa changer when new around 1984. You would definitely be the only guy on your block with one of these. Also great for transferring your tape collection to CD, Hard-drive or MP3. Built very well! Looks like new and sounds great. Deck includes a copy of original owners manual.

Pinch roller and heads all in GREAT condition!!! Both level meters playback even. Speed adjusted on both decks' capstan motors to 100% accuracy with 1kHz factory test tape. Cosmetically the face and all control buttons, and the case in GREAT condition. ____________________________ We normally wouldn't give a dubbing / dual cassette deck a second look as there weren't many that were not simply two cheap decks in one box. I know, as I have sold hundreds of them new by just about every brand. I always tried to persuade most looking for a "real" deck, to avoid them and just get a good single play deck or two single play decks. They just didn't have quality transports or decent specs. There were, however a handful of exceptions and this Yamaha KX-W602 is one of those few! It's super quality in design and build, and it's loaded. This is an incredible deck for performance. It would be at home in any audiophile system as well as pro / project studio. Features include: - Dual-well design with both decks being quality built - Both A&B wells feature "mirror image" features - Both wells are Auto-Reverse - Both wells are "Record Capable"! - 6 Motors! - Super hard "Amorphous" PB / REC heads - IC Logic "touch-control" tape transport on both decks - Super-quality tape heads - Multi-mode dubbing.

Great for studio or home use. Also great for transferring your tape collection to CD, Hard-drive or MP3. Designed and built, very well! (check the frequency response) Probably the best thing about this deck is how "tech friendly" the circuit boards are on the inside. This would make a great deck for lots of uses from recording, to playback of your tape collection, to burning your tapes to another media, however one use it would really be great for is it's "relay" play / record, which records through one tape, then moves to the next. This would allow up to 3 hours of uninterrupted use with two C-90 type tapes. Looks NEW and sounds great. Measures 17.25" wide x 10.5" deep x 4.75" tall and heavy at 12 lbs unpacked. Comes with our 90 day limited warranty. Cond. 8.5 YAMAHA KX-W602 $339. SOLD 9/2/09

Again, we have completely cleaned, prepped and tested this Nakamichi 480 cassette tape deck and the only issue was the above mentioned, static noise when powered up or down for a few seconds. Great for transferring your no NR or Dolby NR encoded tape collection to CD, Hard-drive or MP3. Built very well! Looks like new, works and sounds great. Measures 17.75" wide x 11.5" deep x 5.5" tall and weighs 16 lbs unpacked. Includes our standard 90 day limited warranty. NAKAMICHI 480 Cond. 8.5+ $319. SOLD 7/31/09
