Description: Tascam 246 Portastudio Multi-Track Cassette Recorder. Condition is "Used, Seller Refurbished, AS-IS." Very good condition. Well maintained, extremely clean, classic unit, kept in smoke-free environment w/ minimal dust collection. Only used a handful of times myself, and I believe I was the 2nd owner. It sat in the closet most of its life. The 2 belts, idler tires and pinch roller rubber were all recently replaced. In addition to the Tascam 246, also included in the sale is a TEAC E-3 Head Demagnetizer (not tested), a Tascam RC-30P Remote Foot Switch, and the original 246 Owner's Manual (complete w/ late-night coffee stain on the cover). I have not tested the INSERTS, TAPE OUT, LINE B IN or the PGM BUSS IN on the unit. To the best of my knowledge, all other functions seem to work. All lights on the unit function as well (see pics). It was sprayed thoroughly once w/ contact cleaner, but may need another dose. Some pots may still be a little scratchy upon arrival, but contact cleaner should do the trick. As this unit is roughly 40 years old, this is an "As-Is/No Returns" sale. Please be aware that due to its age, other parts may eventually need replacing. Notes: the small rod keeping the pinch roller tire in place came loose during refurb, so it was epoxy'd in place to stay put (see pic - yellow circle). Also, one of the black plastic tape guides was epoxy'd in place on the underside of the cassette cage (pic - blue circle). Very versatile analog multi-track recorder (and built like a tank). I'd love to keep it, but it has to go to make room for other gear. The unit sounds awesome - especially in headphones. Audio cassette tape not included. Not that easy to find one of these vintage 246 recorders in good working condition. Shipping to the contiguous (lower 48) United States only. Sorry, no international shipping. Contact me if you're local to the Charlotte, NC area and would like to pick up instead. Thanks for looking at our new & burgeoning store, and feel free to ask questions. Have a great day!
