Teac A 300 was a good one IMO. Three head w/ vu meters. It made very good tapes from my vinyl and was no slouch for palyback either. I had that one back in the day. Don't know about parts etc, but I still have it in the closet.
Cassette deck enthusiasts......
Looking for 3 head deck from 79-81 era with vu meters that is easy to service and find parts for...belts,etc...any brands come to mind for low cost service and above average performance?
