In Reply to: Teac Decks posted by PanzerVI on January 13, 2007 at 15:53:06:
Hey, Panzer.If I were to buy a TEAC deck, I'd hold out for a nice clean C-series deck (C-1, C-2, or C-3) or a Z-5000, 6000, or 7000 as kingseiko suggested.
The C-1 & C-2 decks are basically slight variations of the TASCAM 122, and the C-3 is virtually identical to a 122.
I have a C-2x, & it's a fabulous and bulletproof deck.
Good luck,
Bobbo :-)

As Bobbo said the TEAC C-1 and C-2 are wonderful decks and they are all bulletproof made. However, some of the parts of these two decks are no longer available ( i.e. pinch-rollers for example ). I have a C-1 with all optional bias plus-in cards. However, the pinch-rollers are all worn out. I was told that these rollers are no longer in available and require re-surface of the rollers. My C-1 requires over $400 to bring in back to like-new condition because a lot of parts have been worn out after so many years.I really suggest to go for the C-3X and C-3RX instead. The C-3X is very nice especially if you can locate the optional T-O8 oscillator box for bias/level calibration of different brands of tapes.
