Pioneer tape deck

Now if you want a collector's item look for a Nakamichi Dragon or some of their other decks. I remember back in the day those were THE ultimate in audio quality....
salvage value
even vintage collectors don't value pioneer decks
nak decks in mint condition are going for $100
if you can find a buyer
ask yourself
when was the last time you listened to a tape
or watch video on vhs or beta
sometimes the good old days weren't so good

You're absolutely correct. The reason being was that the tolerances for moving the heads was so narrow that they determined it would be better to flip the tape instead of constantly moving the heads. They also used this feature on mor decks in the $500.00 range.winky said:
Another point is that that $1000.00 is in 1980 era dollars. In today's dollar that'd be like buying a 72" plasma....
As for tape/beta. I'm not sure if they still do, but for the longest time all studio video was still on beta long after it was taken off the consumer market.
As for dynamic range, CD's are limited to 20 hz - 20 khz where tape isn't. I actually had a test tape that went from 8 hz - 37 khz....

That is so true. And, even my old ears can hear the difference in the definition of the instruments and the placement of the performers in the old analog versions. But, Sony had to get even with the public for their failed Beta marketing and their Elcassette, they pushed the CD along with Philips. Do you remember the digital cassette that they had come up with that was supposed to be able to play all the old analogue tapes?
Cobster, I am sorry for helping to hi-jack your thread.........

I sold an Aiwa dual deck a couple of years ago for $56 US on eBay. People may be interested, but it's a matter if it's worth your time or if your interested in recycling by selling.
