New Year, New Gear

Got lucky last week and scored a super nice Pioneer RT-707; a low mileage unit that looks to have been well cared for. The heads are absolutely free of wear and shiny clean, as is the whole tape path. You know, it's refreshing to see a deck that doesn't look like it's been run through to hell and back. Heck, even the counter works (the belts are small, thin and notorious for breaking on these late 70s units). This one came with a Pioneer PR-85 light metal take up reel.

Pioneer RT-707: auto-reverse 7" open reel tape deck, three motor direct drive, 4-heads. Manufactured in Japan 1977.

$80 plus shipping.
