Remarks[edit]
Very robust cassette deck with good sound characteristics. Was praised in several test reports at that time. Unlike older Technics cassette decks, this deck offers brilliant treble reproduction. The capstan shaft and the tape counter are driven by two rubber belts. The rubber belt for the capstan shaft is a flat belt and lasts very long . The rubber belt for the belt counter is a square or round belt and will wear out at some point. Both belts are still available on ebay as spare parts, but the replacement of these belts is very complex, because you have to remove the complete drive and disassemble it.
