I recently replaced belts on Sony TC-K670, 3 head dual capstan cassette deck. I decided to try FUJI taper and I was very disappointed in a brand new tape FUJI DR-II. So, I used, old Maxell XL-II ad the results were great. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opHf_wATCxM
Here I am again with some basic double cassette deck, it's so cheap that I didn't want to make video with it, but since it's here for a moment...
Avoid this one, there's nothing good that I could say except for the, it was probably ok when it was new.
Yes, it's better than boombox, or some walkmans, but that's it.

It's not so much review, it's more like a how I find solution for repair, it's interesting that you can fix this D.A.T. visiting your local hardware store plumbing department.

Here we have one very old vintage double recording auto reverse cassette deck by Kenwood. This unit is heavy, not so much plastic inside, and the sound is superb consider is almost 40 years old.
It's probably rare, but it's coming from the time when they used metal parts instead of plastic, the time before cassette deck era was ended.
I bet I would be very happy with this deck at the time if it was new, high speed dubbing, auto reverse, Dolby BC, sound great, that would be enough for me.

It's very important to use something close to the original (or even better, original) belts when you're servicing professional DAT devices such as Tascam DA-30 mk II.
This time I waited for a week to get original belts for this digital audio tape recorder Tascam DA-30 mk II. After I get the original small belt, my all problems went away...
Now I have perfectly working professional DAT recorder that will play all the tapes recorded on other brands such as Sony, Panasonic, Other Tascam units...
And, the recording is working just like it would be shipped from the factory. indexig on DAT recorders

Short review of great ONKYO TA-RW303 double auto reverse vintage cassette deck. Maybe it doesn't have large LCD display, but the sound is great for the money.

You can find those on eBay for around $50 in working condition, that's a bargain for this 4 motor cassette deck. Yes, it's not Japanese, but the quality is still there, it's big and heavy, not so much plastic inside.
