Let's take a look at this 33 years old vintage integrated amplifier by Kenwood. Model KA-4020 comes with a 70 watts per channel, and some huge knobs for input and tape recording selection. This one has a failure that makes it British instead of Japanese amp. Bass and treble knobs are not operating, you can't filter sound, works only when the source direct button is pressed on. What a shame...

This vintage dual capstan 3 head cassette deck by Sony is very good looking and the sound is great. TCK-670 brings deep bass with chrome tapes, it's very easy to use, and calibrates tapes with bias and level knobs.

It comes with Dolby B and C HxPro noise reduction systems, and I have to mention nice touch and backlight for the tape transport mechanism.

I have this Cambridge Audio Azur 350A , it's in not working condition, but since it looks great, I still wanted to make a short video with it. It will not produce the sound o speakers or headphones, remote control is working properly so I really don't know what's wrong with it. If some of you views can point what to look for, relay ?, please comment.

JVC TD-V541 - cheapest 3 head direct drive cassette deck in 2022 ? I believe it is, if you look on eBay (year 2022), there's no cheaper direct drive 3 head deck on the market. The sound is great, deck a little bit shabby

I'm testing one perfectly serviced and functional Sony DAT recorder DTC-690. I already presented this model on this channel, but this time I'll explain what would be the difference between cheaper and more advanced models.

One of the thing is counter time, there's no program time on basic models, only on better Sony devices such as DTC-59ES or DTC-700.

Here we have Technics RS-TR313 vintage double stereo cassette deck from 1991. It's a standard double deck, one is only for playing, the other one also records cassette tapes.

It will automatically detect type of tape you are using, and you can select between Dolby B or C Hx-Pro noise reduction system. Since both decks are auto reverse, you'll get 180 minutes of music in continuous play mode.
There's a small but functional LCD with digital counter, and there's a timer selector.

I finally managed to fix it, test it, and now record a video with it, Sony DTC-A7 Digital Audio Tape Deck. And, cosmetically, this unit looks like new, mint condition, so I have had to record it in a full glory

This time I have repaired SONY DTC-700, rare DAT recorder with a lot of vintage in it. It's a really heavy unit, with a lot of metal parts, and what's best, direct drive motors.
Less belts doesn't always mean better performance, but this mechanism is similar to ones you'll find on professional machines.
