Yamaha KX-1200 Cassette Deck (1 Viewer)

I won a Yamaha KX-1200 off of Ebay yesterday. The seller reported that it just stopped recording recently. Once I get it, I will drop it off at the technicians shop which I used before and does great work. If he fixes it and replaces all the belts, it will have easily doubled its price that I have payed for it. If it cant be fixed, I have a parts deck for my working KX-1200.

I got it back today from the technician and its working flawlessly. Its recording strength judging by the meters is a couple db stronger than my current KX-1200. I tested a recording on the newly repaired unit using dbx and it pegged the meters on both of my KX-800 units but still sounded clean. Here are some pics

I love those old tape decks from that era-some great hardware. I had a K1000 a long time ago and it was fantastic.
