TEAC 3340, Incredible Reel-to-Reel Recorder

TEAC is a Japanese company, founded in in 1953, that has been making carefully designed, and precision calibrated recording equipment for many decades. TEAC had its first break as one of the companies trusted to record events for the 1962 Olympics, for both audio and video. This commitment to high-profile and high-quality records still exists today with the company's newest product lines. 

The 3340 reel-to-reel player/recorder was introduced in 1973 as a continuation of TEAC's excellent reputation as both an in-studio and in-home leader in the tape handling industry.  The 4-track 3340 was developed in conjunction with another famous company, Tascam, and incorporated a number of innovative features to separate it from the crowd.  

The heads used a hyperbolic shape to ensure the surface-to-surface coverage across the head was minimized, lengthening the life of the tape and the head.  The dual, dual-speed synchronous motors were specially designed for this model to optimize speed control during recording and payback. Other recording features are numerous. And the dual-speed Simul-Sync motor controls allow for exceptional results in both 15 and 7.5 ips speeds.

This unit has been fully serviced by our RTR tech, Tom B.  Everything from the record and playback meters to the capstan rollers and accompanying rubber, and all knobs and dials have been cleaned, serviced or restored to impeccable condition.  The deck has been aligned and calibrated using TEAC factory calibration tapes.  It's SPOT ON and ready for all sorts of tape-loving debauchery. 

Note, the TEAC metal 10" reels shown are not included in the sale, but the hub adapters are. 

This is an exceptional example at a fantastic, fully serviced price.
