High end Pioneer double cassette deck that comes with all features you can possibly look for. We got Dolby B & C noise reduction on board as well as the HX-Pro system that helps creating recordings with crisp highs. The large VFD display in the middle provides nicely all information and that is easy to read. The counters are both digital and operating in real time. Quite unusual for a double cassette deck!
On top of that it also has auto-revers on both decks and can even record on side A and B. Also uncommon is that both decks, Deck 1 and Deck 2 can both record. On most double cassette decks it is limited to one of the two.
To make this deck operate in original spec we carried out the below service.
- Replacement of capstan belts
- Lubrication of moving parts
- Cleaning of heads and capstan
- Reconditioning of Pinch Roller
- Demagnetisation of heads and capstan
- Playback level calibration
- Speed calibration
- Full function test
Below is a test recording made with the CT-840R and played back by it:
This deck comes with 6 months warranty.
