Tandberg tape decks


Does anyone know them well? I have a question about the model 330.Who owns or used to own one?How does it sound?Compared to Nak decks?I heard that owners of 3014As and 3004s laugh at Dragon owners, but this Tandberg is not that advanced.I am thinking about buying one in,I hope,excellent condition.Would really appreciate your help.

My first Tandberg was a 330. Later I traded up to a 3014, then a 3014A. The 3014A is, without question, the best cassette deck ever produced. (I A/B'd it with the Dragon for hours - no comparison.)

The 330 is not as good as either the 3014 or Dragon, though it's a wonderful deck and certainly built well. If you can get a good price on one, you won't be sorry.

Be sure to test the unit before buying, or get return priveleges, as there are many things that can go wrong in a mechanical unit such as this (belts, pinch roller and bearing wear, head wear, etc. and repair of an older unit can be difficult and expensive.

Have fun!
