Hey, this is cool – a "new" old stock tape deck! We almost didn't have the heart to unpack it, but I think you'll agree, these pictures were worth it. There are collector examples, museum examples, then this.

- Liner Notes
The wrong cassette deck will kill your tapes. Just a fractional misalignment of all those pulleys, belts and wheels, and you wind up with tapes that are more of a pain than a pleasure to listen to. That's why we took such care with the tape transport in our new TC-520. The only directly power driven part, for instance, is the capstan. So there's less chance your tapes will feel stretched.
