Up for sale is a legendary 1980 TEAC C-3X Cassette Deck: 3-Head, 2-Speed. The unit in great cosmetic condition, however the drive belt has disintegrated and needs to be replaced (see last pic), so «PLAY» function doesn't work. All other belts corresponding to the «REWIND, «FORWARD», and the «Tape Counter» functions are working just fine, as they should.
It's been professionally stored in my studio since 2010 when the belt gave up on me, and I think it's time for it to find a new home. The deck sold AS IS: for parts or repair.

Thanks,
