Vintage Technics by Panasonic Stereo Cassette Deck RS-640US for sale in Schenectady, NY
This is a vintage unit and has been tested for basic functionality. I hooked it up to a stereo and played a tape. It seemed to play the tape just fine. I checked FF and REW as well. I did clean the heads, considering it's age, it would probably benefit from a set of new belts. I do not have what I would need to test recording. This is being sold as is. Here is some info I found on the web: The Technics RS-640US is a stereo cassette deck with Dolby B noise reduction, it was first sold by Technics in 1976 with a manufacturer suggested retail price of USD $349 and discontinued a year later. The main features of the Technics RS-640US are: 2 heads, mechanical 3 digit tape counter, tape type selection and capable of handling normal and chrome tapes, belt driven single-capstan transport. Typical of this deck is the 70's top loading layout with the cassette compartiment located on the left side of the deck. Tape eject is operated mechanically and the cassette needs to be placed with the side to be played facing forward in the cassette well. Level meters used on the RS-640US are analog needle VU reading meters. Mechanical transport controls for reliable RS-640US transport function selection. The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the RS-640US by as much as 10 dB at the highest frequencies.
