Sony TC377 Reel to Reel tape deck
I know here in the US we have Audio Buffs who swear by these quarter inch
units. I one time had a homeless guy come buy and bring me one from a Dumpster , and I gave him $10 for dropping it off. Needless to say it made him happy. I had it in my shop for about 2 months, awaiting time to get to it, when another customer called , and asked for one. I told him I didnt know if it even worked & did not even have a Test Tape Reel to find out. He had me bring it over, and he hooked up one of his tapes to it, and it played ok, except a VU Meter was Dead...which he didnt mind. He gave me $50 USD for it right there. Try Ebay...or do a Google Search for thae Model Number, and then inquire to the Sites which seem to be knowledgable about those Decks. Perhaps one of them is willing to pay shipping so you can get rid of them.. "Neil Mallam" wrote in message ... I have a couple of these tape decks that have been in storage for 10 yrs or so. They need some attention now to get them working again. I want to dispose of them, but seems a shame to just dump them. Does anyone know of anyone in the UK that may be interested in servicing/repairing these and then selling them? Thanks. |

It's a mechanical nightmare inside, but it is fun when it works properly. However, if the heads are worn, it's game over. You could check your heads and if they are good sell them separately, you'll save on shipping hassles. |
