The A-360 is a rock solid deck from the early 70ties. The mechanics can’t be faulted, it is built like a tank. The top is actually made out of stainless steel, while the device itself is in a beautiful timber case. The large backlit VU meters and adjustment for output and recording level make it ideal for professional use. The overall performance is impressive. It plays other decks of the time from Technics or Nakamicho against the wall.
To get this deck operation in its original specification, the below service was carried out:
- Replacement of Capstan Belt
- Lubrication of moving parts
- Cleaning of heads and capstan with chemical
- Demgagnetisation of heads
- Speed calibration
- Playback level calibration
- Record level calibration
- Full function test
We provide 6 months warranty for cassette decks.
