Sansui Vintage Cassette Deck Player Recorder SC-3330 - Working

Description

Update: Record functions works. The only thing is that the erase head is not performing as it should - meaning that when you record on a previously recorded cassette you can hear some of the previous recoding along with new recording. When you record on a blank (or previously erased) cassette the recoding is fine, sounds very good actually. One channel records just a tad higher than the other but that's an easy adjustment with the balance knobs.
All functions work on connection with record. EQ settings work.
Here's a nice looking tape deck made by Sansui model SX-3330.
Not a super high-end deck but no slouch either. It plays well and sound very good. And it has the traditional black Sansui good looks.
I recently serviced this deck.
- All belts were replaced.
- All tires were cleaned and a touch of rubber rejuvenator was added.
- Critical parts where lube was added was cleaned and new lube added.
- All pots and switches were cleaned.
Everything is in good working condition now. Smooth and almost silent playback with a good quality recorded tape.
FWD and REW are also in good working order.
I did not test record but no reason to believe any issue there.
All lights work. (nice added feature in this deck that the tape counter has a back light).
PLEASE NOTE: the small door that roll over to protect the heads when not in use (when there's no cassette in the deck) is missing. Just wasn't there when I got this, it was broken off and only the small pieces were left at the hinge points. I removed those small pieces. Where the door attaches is not broken, so if you found a replacement door it could be attached easy.
Item will ship via FedEx Ground.
