I tested play and record on both decks and they work great, dolby tested ok heads were cleaned. fast frwd and rwnd work great. the counter does not count so the belt will need to be replaced. other than that the deck works amazing and sounds amazing.
Bought this cassette deck for my project studio and have been amazed at the quality of the sound. The heads are better than most I've used and the motors are quiet and reliable with very little wow & flutter. Very reliable brand also.
