Of the open loading decks I only lack the CT-F950. One of the reasons this deck didn't continue in the US past 1979 was metal tape, another was the introduction of Fluoroscan meters across the Pioneer lines. It would have been a budget deck after that. And I don't fully agree with your assessment. The CT-F1250 for instance was simply an large improvement and refinement on the format, it sounds DEVINE as well.

Brought one of these new in 1979, gave me 30+ years of excellent service, I was persuaded to upgrade it to a newer model with Dolby S, and have regretted it ever since.

This deck was a brute. A girlfriend of mine had this unit back in 1978. Awesome deck (pre dolby-C) very good recording quality. I did get to "play" with it a bit and loved it. I could never afford a cassette deck of this class. My decks were, Akai GX-f31, Onkyo TA-630D, and a Teac (open reel) X-3.

I still have mine, haven't used it in years. I had the SPEC-1, SPEC-4, SG-9500, TX-9500, RG-1, RT-707, CT-F1000, Fisher Studio Standard and SpeakerLab Klipschorns. Started collecting in '84, unfortunately, no longer have all of it. I used the gear to jam with my '71 Les Paul/Marshall amp for 25+ years. Lol, my neighbors dreaded when I got drunk and got to rock and rollin'.

Just picked one of these up (eBay), along with a CT-F9191. Silly Me? CT-F1000 for living room recording, CT-F9191 for bedroom listening. No excuse for not listening to those hundreds of tapes made long ago. Hundreds of hours were spent making some of those old tapes. Thank you Audi Vintage for this Review and Demo.

Amazing machine. There's something special about the sound of this pre-IC deck. It sounds almost reel to reel... Imagine, even all of the Dolby circuits are analog and on separate boards. Recapping this machine wouldn't be for the faint of heart. Also you're pretty much on your own restoring the tape transport, as idler tires ect are unobtainium, and you must improvise alternatives... But this deck is definitely worth the extra time and effort.

Momentary transient levels. If the light stays lit longer or lights more often then you may be having issues to address with the inputted signal.

@khaddow1967 6 жыл бұрын
I presume you've already had an answer in the last 8 months, but if not the answer is yes. Your best bet is Ebay. There are a number of vintage 70s/80s and 90s decks up for sale pretty much all the time. There are even a few listings for fully restored 70s decks, where the seller has re-capped the unit, replaced all the belts, lubricated mechanical parts and realigned the heads with test tapes and an oscilloscope. If you want one that has had that level of restoration expect to pay a premium for the work put into it though.

T Mart I don't recall hearing him 'clucking' his tongue (and no dummy, I don't mistake him for the Zulu dialogues of say Ipi Tombi). Therefore, I believe I actually meant the quality of the recording. I've not just come out of an egg-shell not able to distinguish between such an accent derived from Dutch and those native to elsewhere. That said, I may confuse a specific Australian accent of sorts with that of a New Zealander's. The latter seems to be easier on the ears though. Less drunken sounding. LOL :)
