ü Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit.

ü  We have completely and extensively gone through the mechanicals and electronics of this unit.

ü Entire transport was disassembled down to the chassis, and every mechanical part was disassembled, cleaned, re-lubed and reassembled

ü Tape Tension arms disassembled, cleaned and re-lubed, and their springs adjusted and had fresh 300,000 grade silicone lube gel applied

ü pinch-roller mechanism completely disassembled, cleaned and re-lubed,

ü PR mechanism solenoid mounts adjusted

ü Capstans / flywheels removed, bushings and axels cleaned and re-lubed and flywheels burnished

ü Capstan motor pulley burnished

ü Capstans burnished

ü Rubber pinch roller removed and re-conditioned

ü New MAIN drive belt sourced and installed

ü Brand new counter belt installed

ü Heads have been cleaned and de-magnetized as well as the entire transport.

ü Brakes adjusted on fast wind modes also (optimized for 7" reels.)

ü Back tension adjusted on both reel motors.

ü All three motors test perfectly. Following above adjustments, Reel Start and Stop tested at beginning, middle and end of 7" reels.

ü Internal pots, switches and controls cleaned and tested for noise-free function (initially, of course, had typical static / noise which is to be expected in an 'un-serviced' deck after 35+ years).

ü External / User adjustable pots, switches and controls cleaned on the playback / record amp and tested for noise-free function

ü We adjusted the VU meters mechanically and electronically w/ factory test tone tapes, as well as the internal playback levels for both directions independently and record levels.

ü We adjusted the output, 'Minimum Input', 'Specified Input', 'Record Level' and 'Bias' all to spec, then further adjusted 'Bias' for Ampex GM-456

ü Both spindles in perfect alignment.

ü We also adjusted the reel table heights.

ü Heads in great shape as well, with many years of performance left in them

ü Playback and Record Head alignment / azimuth was adjusted for peak performance with factory test tone tape and oscilloscope.

ü Speed tested to 99.8% accuracy following refurb (meaning that our 'verified' 1000Hz test tape now plays back at 1002Hz).
 
ü Adjusted to record VERY WELL. Biased for Ampex GM 456 studio tape with the following results:
1kHz recorded @ 0dB resulted in PB @ 0dB
10kHz recorded @ 0dB resulted in PB @ -3dB
Pink Noise recorded @ -3dB resulted in PB @ -0.5dB
Pink Noise recorded @ -7dB resulted in PB @ -0.5dB

'Real World, DDD CD recorded at 0-+5dB = 0dB down

ü Floor noise measured at >-60dB w/ blank tape, L&R

ü This TEAC A-6010GSL functions, plays, and records VERY WELL (and we really put them through the paces, testing both with well mixed, recently recorded CD material and CD recorded / factory test tones looking for correct head Azimuth and speed accuracy).  (Total time investment in refurb / testing ~ 24 hours).

Face is beautiful, brushed, Stainless Steel and case is in great condition. Deck looks and works great! 

The TEAC A-6010GSL Stereo Reel to Reel tape deck. Ready to GO! This is one of the few reel to reel decks we get in that make it to our finished page. Great performer. If you're looking for a reel to reel deck to "actually use" here you go. Only about 25% of the used Reel decks out there can be "practically" restored to working order. This one made it through with flying colors after about 24 hours of bench time.

Following mechanical / electronic refurb, entire unit was cosmetically detailed inside and out. Face is made of beautiful brushed Stainless Steel and is dent free and in great condition. Cabinet covered in real Walnut wood veneer, is in great condition and just had a fresh coat of lemon oil. Deck looks and sound great!

Looks great & "Ready-to-go"  TEAC -6010GSL Stereo Reel to Reel tape deck. These were later, bigger brother to the A-4010, probably the most sold R2R ever made by anybody. Just about everyone that was stationed overseas in the military during Viet Nam came back with an A-4010. The fortunate few came back with the A-6010 (a few 'better specs'). The "A-6010" was included in TEAC's 'Professional Line'. Unfortunately of course, 40 years has not been kind to Teac Reel decks (or any electro-mechanical devices that are 20 years or older). The internal lubes were never meant to last that long, certainly without maintenance, thus requiring the above stated work. Ready to go now. Will play & Record stereo 1/4" tapes on reels up to 7". This is one of the few reel to reel decks we get in that make it to our finished page. If you're looking for a reel to reel deck to "actually use" then here you go. Only about 25% of the used Reel decks out there can be "practically" restored to working order. This one made it through. Playback & transport functions test great and records well! Looks and sounds great too!
TEAC A-6010GSL Features include:
  

- Up to 7" reel capacity (while you could go down as far as 3" in diameter, the torque and braking on this deck has been optimized for 7"reels)
- 3 Heads for superb recording performance (actually 4 heads, but one is an extra 'playback' head so that 'Auto-Reverse' does not require 'flipping / spinning etc' of PB head, allowing for perfectly accurate azimuth of playback for either direction)
- Super-hard, FERRITE heads (Ferrite heads last WAY longer than most others)
- User adjustable BIAS and INTERNAL RECORD LEVEL controls on the rear panel (this is what sets this deck apart from it's predecessors, and one of it's most important features for recording...and NO, the "Internal Record Level" is not the same as the 'Input Level" controls on the front)

- 3 Motors for trouble free performance (has a lot to do with it still being a viable piece of gear due to less rubber parts)
- Auto-Reverse Play utilizing SEPARATE heads for each direction (again, allows for perfect Azimuth regardless of direction) (with sensing strip correctly installed on tapes)
- "Soft Touch" tape transport for control
- Dual front mounted 1/4" Microphone inputs
- Dual speeds at 7.5 ips / 19cms and 3 3/4ips / 9.5 cms (.5%)
- Separate Concentric mic and line level controls
- Dual 1/4" front mounted mic inputs
- Source / Monitor selector for instantly monitoring record quality
- Pause control
- Left & Right output level controls
- Dual analog VU level meters
- 8-Pin port for optional TEAC RC-601 wired remote control (remote not included or available anymore from us)
    
 TEAC A-6010GSL Specifications as follows:
   
Heads / Track system: 4: 4-track 2-channel stereo heads for stereo or mono, recording, forward playback, reverse playback & erase heads (Ferrite PB and REC heads)
Motor: 3x: One, Dual-speed hysteresis Synchronous for capstan and two 6-pole, eddy current, outer-rotor for reel hub drive
Transport Control Type: Electronic-solenoid / Touch control: Fast Forward, Rewind, Play

Wow & Flutter: 0.06% at 7-1/2 ips and 0.09% RMS at 3-3/4 ips (WAY improved over A-4010)
Frequency response: 30Hz to 20,000Hz (50-15kHz ± 2dB @ 7-1/2 ips) (1dB better than A-4010)
 &
30Hz to 15,000 Hz (50-10kHz ± 2dB @ 3-3/4 ips) (1dB better than A-4010)
Signal to Noise Ratio: > 48dB @ 7.5 ips

BUFFET CLARINET
MODEL B12
INTERMEDIATE STUDENT Bb CLARINET
for sale
This clarinet is modeled after the Famous Buffet Grenadilla wood clarinets from the 'old day's'. When I worked for a 'full-line' music store thru the 1990's, we would periodically have a 'vintage' Buffet come thru and they never hung around long once serviced for re-sale. It is what most clarinet players asked for. That and Yamaha's.  This is a Buffet B12 clarinet, again, designed after the 'vintage' horns for the student / beginner and into the intermediate market. The Buffet B12 clarinets are made from ABS resin with an appearance and sound similar to that of genuine Grenadilla wood. These models are lightweight, strong and easy to clean perfect for even very young players. The Buffet B12 model has a very attractive and traditional design with nickel-plated body rings, straight key work and a traditional bell ring. The body is buffed to give the appearance of wood. The nickel silver key work is cold forged and induction soldered, providing greater stability, precision and quality. The B12 model is mounted with double fish skin pads which ensure excellent sealing.

 Features:
- Nickel plated keys, body rings & plated bell rings
- 65mm barrel
- 14.65mm poly-cylindrical bore
- Arched key cups (same as R-13 model)
- Staggered trill keys (same as R-13 model)
- Blue Needle Springs
- Adjustable 3-position thumb rest
- Ergonomic key design: Improved playing comfort like that of a professional clarinet
- Pointed needle springs for quality key action
- Undercut tone holes for improved tone quality and faster response
- High quality Double fish skin pads enables air tightness and are long lasting
- Blow-molded, hard shell case

Mouthpiece Assembly with Ligature, Cap and Mouthpiece

-           Cork Grease

-           Cleaning Swab

This clarinet retails for $925.00 (US).

A bit short in the looks department, but long on sound.
We have completely tested them with both recorded material, PN 20-20k and swept them with our AF generator. These Jensen "System 300" speakers are very accurate and impressive sounding.  Features:

AND WHEN PURCHASED FROM OAK TREE VINTAGE WITH A NEW, DIAMOND CARTRIDGE NOW INCLUDED

for sale
Professional DJ / Club table. Quality tool for the 'long haul'! The Audio-Technica AT-LP1240-USB DJ turntable. Similar in design to some of the vintage turntable models, such as the Kenwood KD-550 'concrete base', the Sony PS-T1, and the Technics SL-1500, SL-1600MK2 or SL-D2 turntable models. This professional stereo turntable features a super high-torque, direct-drive motor for quick start-ups yet is perfectly quiet. Classic 'S' shaped tone arm with 'universal' head-shell that allows mounting of most any 'quality', 1/2' cartridge, either MM (moving magnet) or MC (moving coil). Tone-arm mounted in high quality 4-point, Gimbol bearing.

The AT-LP1240-USB plays back 33-1/3, 45 and 78 RPM records (78 is selected by pressing both 'speed' select buttons simultaneously). Its built-in phono preamp enables the turntable to be connected to a wide variety of music and home entertainment systems, powered speakers, and to A/V receivers that do not include a dedicated phono input (de-featable for 'old schooool' and 'REAL' receivers and integrated amplifiers that 'DO' have a built-in phono pre-amp. The turntable includes PC- and Mac-compatible Audacity® software that converts the audio on a record to MP3, WAV or other format digital audio files.

NEW UPDATE--- We're now including the Audio-Technica AT-95E, MM, Elliptically cut diamond cartridge with tables purchased from us at Oak Tree Vintage.

Table has great mass at almost 30 lbs!

Professional features for DJ use in nightclubs, touring & mobile applications:

- Direct drive high-torque motor
- Quartz Locked Speed Control System or 'Manual' Strobe Speed controls
*- Adjustable Braking Rate (0.2 – 6.0 seconds)
*- Adjustable Starting Rate (0.2 – 6.0 seconds)
*- Dual Platter / Motor 'Start' / 'Stop' controls
- Fully-Manual operation
- Selectable 33/45/78 RPM speeds (you will need to acquire a stylus / cartridge designed for playing '78 RPM' records to utilize that feature to it's fullest)
- Professional weight cast aluminum platter with slip mat (no PLASTIC platters here, unlike many of the NEW tables out there!)
- Classic 'S' style tone-arm
- High quality 4-point Gimbol bearing
- ½-inch mount universal head shell
- Strobe monitored, adjustable platter speed
- Fluid damped tone arm cuing
- Adjustable tone-arm counter weight
- Adjustable 'Anti-Skating' control
*- Adjustable Tone-Arm bearing height
*- 45 puck storage pin
- Internal Built-in Phono Pre-Amp of decent quality so if you MUST use this with some sort of 'home-theater-surround-sound -5.1, 7.2, or 8.BR549 receiver' that the manufacturer forgot to include the phono pre-amp on. If you have a 'REAL receiver', ie, an old-school, vintage, 2-channel receiver or integrated amp or pre-amp with a phono pre built-in, then you can flip a switch and bypass the 'built-in' phono preamp.
- USB output—connects directly to your computer for plug-&-play use
- Forward or reverse play (this is a DJ feature, and if you value your vinyl or cartridge, DON'T USE 'Reverse'! If you have a crappy cartridge and are playing 'Frisbees', then 'go for it' if you're so inclined!
- *Comes with Mac- and PC-compatible Audacity software and cables to digitize your LPs

Circa 1971-'77
(6 years as a 'current' model)
MIJ
SOLD 5/3/18
SHIPPED TO MASSACHUSETTS

 ü  Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit.

ü Following ext / int visual inspection entire unit was cleaned inside and out including all contacts, switches and controls.

ü One side rebuilt by 'old school' tech

ü Heat sink compound upgraded to Silicone Pads

ü Bias adjusted to correct spec.

ü Switches and controls now clean sounding and performing solidly.

 ü All functions tested for perfect operation.

ü All inputs tested and both side produces clean and even sine waves!

ü No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent!

ü Following electronic refurb, entire unit was cosmetically detailed.

This is one the second Marantz 1060 we've had in 23 years, and we've owned this one for over a decade before deciding to finally get it into the shop for it's restoration / service. Classic brushed aluminum face plate with the original aluminum knobs.  Following 12+ hours of restoration procedures, the unit was ran continuously at medium volume, as all our amplifier / receivers are, into a 4 Ohm load with "Loudness" on and both Tone Controls at 10 for 48 hours.
     
On our test bench the internal amplifiers of this particular unit, #...1938, produced 19 Volts per channel at 8 Ohms for 45 Watts per channel and 13 Volts at 4 Ohms for 44 Watts per channel via discrete, TO-3 / Metal Cased outputs.
Idle current draw 0.4A.
DC out measured at <3mV on either side.
Very quiet with Floor noise measured at <00.0mVAC.
    ____________________________
 
Probably "The Definitive" of Marantz Integrated amps, and the one that most are compared to. Heck, just check how long it's model was kept current. 6 YEARS! It wasn't until 1979 that they changed it to the 1070, which has the 'less desirable', 'linear' tone controls.
Just the right features & sonically magnificent! Great amp for home or project recording studio use.

Marantz 1060 Integrated Amplifier Features and 'Creature Comforts' include:

- Produces full power into only '8 Ohms' (most amps can only produce their full power potential into 4 Ohms)
- Speaker selector for Main or Remote, A+B or Off 
- Hi filter for reducing tape hiss / electronic hiss & noise- and record static
- Low Filter with 15Hz cut-off built-in for cutting turntable rumble
- Super quality volume control
- 3-Band EQ / Separate Bass, Mid and Treble with high quality de-tented controls
- Pre-Out / Power-Amp Loop (includes pair of original Marantz Jumpers)
- Loudness function (boosts EQ on Bass and Treble, while cutting mids for a fuller sound at lower volume levels)
- 'Stereo / Mono'  selectors (Mono 1 & 2 IN switch)
- Tape Monitor Loop with both RCA and DIN I/O's (Tape Monitors can be used with Video / CD / DVD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / iPod® / iPad® / iPhone® / iTouch® / iGadget / MP3 / XM® / SIRUS® CDR (CD recorders as well as for inserting signal processors, such as EQ's, Reverbs, Spatial Enhancers / Dynamic Processors, Noise Reduction units, Special Effects units, Time Delays, etc)
- Phono / Turntable input w/ 'Built-in' phono pre-amp
- Tuner input (may also be used for Video / CD / DVD / LD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / iPod® / iPad® / iPhone® / iPod® / iTouch® / iGadget / eReader / MP3 / XM® / SIRUS® etc.)
- Dual AUX inputs w/ "AUX 2" via front mounted, 1/4" jacks. These can also double a 'Microphone Input' jacks (be careful with 'home stereo speakers' when using microphones on stereo gear!!!) (may also be used for Video / CD / DVD / LD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / iPod® / iPhone® / iPod® / iTouch® / iGadget / eReader / MP3 / XM® / SIRUS®, audio mixers, computer sound-cards etc.)
- Front mounted 1/4" stereo headphone jack
- Back panel features full RCA patch bay for all inputs (each 'fastened separately' to the rear panel, and 'point to point' wired internally, instead of being soldered directly to the circuit board, which is always a 'failure point').
- "spring-clip"  speaker connectors for A&B speakers
- 1 Switched and 1 un-switched AC outlets for a maximum load of 260 Watts of external gear.
 
Marantz 1060 Original Specifications:

Great performing and 'classic' looking NAD 3120 Integrated Amplifier. Essentially a more 'pure' version of it's predecessor, the 3120, in that they removed the 'tone control' circuit, and the LED power display.
Amazing sounding integrated power amplifier to provide the heart of a smaller to medium sized Hi-Fi system or 'project recording studio'. Unit looks, works and sounds great!

From the original Brochure,
"Designed for Real-World Performance: Specification tables and magazine test reports confirm that virtually all modern amplifiers measure well in the lab, with impressive figures for parameters such as the power output at 8 Ohms and the S/N with a shorted phono input.  But outside of the lab, amps are not all equal.
At home you don't listen to signal generators, short-circuits or 8-Ohm test resistor loads. you listen to complex and dynamic musical waveforms, generated by phono cartridges and reproduced through loudspeakers whose true impedance is rarely stable at only 8 Ohms.  So, rather than incorporating costly refinements that yield little or no audible benefit, NAD's "real world" approach to product design is focused on obtaining optimum performance under the conditions of everyday use....
Instead of the usual low-cost IC, the phono preamplifier section is a newly designed, discrete transistor circuit whose performance matches that of far more expensive preamp systems.  It interfaces correctly with the 'high impedance' of many magnetic pickup cartridges: it's RIAA equalization is precise: and it is virtually 'distortion-less' - not only with simple 'sine-wave' test tones, but also with dynamic, 'musical waveforms', 30dB above average level.  It's signal / noise ratio is close to the theoretical limit, not only with the short-circuit input that is often used for specifications, but also when a cartridge is connected.  It's total dynamic range is approximately 106dB."

NAD 3120 Features include:
  
- Discrete Output, Class A-B Amplifier design 
- Impedance selector for either 8 or 4 Ohms speakers, which means that you can get 100% of the potential power into just one pair of 8 Ohm speakers. (most amplifiers do not deliver more than 50 to 70% of their 'potential' power unless connected to a 4 Ohm load. This is BIG DEAL!)
- Pre-Out / Main-In loop
- I/O jacks and Speaker output posts feature 'Point to Point' wiring, so connections are 'stress free' on the circuit boards (all gear should be designed like this, but its 'too expensive' for most of the general public now
- 'Speaker / Tweeter Saving' "Soft Clipping" (defeatable if listener desires or to do 'bench testing')
- 'TRUE' Tape monitor (Tape Monitors can be used with Video / CD / DVD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / iPod® / iPad® / iPhone® / iTouch® / iGadget / MP3 / XM® / SIRUS® CDR (CD recorders as well as for inserting signal processors, such as EQ's, Reverbs, Spatial Enhancers / Dynamic Processors, Noise Reduction units, Special Effects units, Time Delays, etc)
- Phono / Turntable input
- 'Moving Coil' or 'Moving Magnet' cartridge selector (which means there is a 'head amp' for MC built-in. That alone is worth quite a lot of $$$)
- Tuner input (can also be used for ( Video / CD / DVD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / iPod® / iPhone® / iTouch® / iGadget / MP3 / XM® / SIRUS® etc. inputs)
- Loudness control. "Loudness" functions to boost Bass and Treble in relationship to Mid frequencies at lower volume levels for a much fuller sound
-  Heavy duty, 'Binding / Banana' post speaker outputs
- 1/4" stereo headphone jack
- Dual AC Convenience outlets (1 switched and 1 un-switched) with a total capacity of 250 Watts

Another great performing, Dual-8 projector. The GAF 1388Z Regular/Standard 8mm / Super-8mm silent movie film / cine projector. Restored to run and work flawlessly. Will play Regular & Super-8mm films. Following about 4 hours of tech time, it now projects silent film at 18fps Runs and works flawlessly. Features fairly easy Auto-Loading of  film, but as always, it's important to utilize film with leaders installed for the best chance at preserving film (insert film until it protrudes from rear of projector before engaging 'Motor'). Very easy to use and works very well.  Has frame-adjust knob for fine tuning frame size. Also has built-in film trimmer. Utilizes model  DJA / DFP 120 Volt / 150 Watt projection lamp. Front adjustment foot allows for ~1.5" of height angle adjustment.
Great projector for previewing films and organizing them, prior to sending out to be transferred to another format, or for simply viewing your 'Regular-8' or ' Super-8mm' movies.  

GAF 1388Z Projector Features:

- Regular and Super 8mm silent film formats
- Bright 120 Volt / 150 Watt projection lamp
- Forward 'Play' with or without lamp (saves on lamp life when you simply need to advance film)
- Automatic film loading and take-up reel threading
- Internally adjusted so that you can 'Re-Wind' while film is still threaded through projector (handy if you need to reverse film and you would still have a LONG way to go thru normal play, simply to get to the end)
- Frame center adjust
- 400 foot reel capacity
- Precision built internally
- No expensive, difficult to adjust cloth belt drive system like the more complicated GAF built projectors from this period. That is a HUGE plus with the "Forward Only" GAF designs (again from this period).


This unit is ready to go. Looks and works great!  Comes with take-up reel, lid / front cover, 1 reel hub adaptor for your Super 8mm reels, if you use them. Includes an extra / spare projector bulb / lamp.
 Also includes our standard 90 day limited warranty (excluding lamps / bulbs). Measures 11" long x 6.5" deep x 9" tall and weighs 10 lbs unpacked. Film shown in photos not included.

One of the most well designed 8mm projectors we have worked on. Considerably different than most of the rest of the 300 & 400 series projectors. Not only does it also have variable speed, but it uses an ingenious "torque converter" mechanism to do adjust it.
Easy to use Auto-Loading, smooth running and accurate for loading film. Zoom Lens is a US made, B&H model, and specs as follows: f=/1.2 & 19mm-32mm. Auto film loading that works and does not "eat" every other roll of film like many "auto-loaders". Plays forwards or backward smoothly, with or without the lamp. Has frame-adjust knob for fine tuning frame size. Utilizes model DJL / DFN / DFC / DFG / DFA 120 volt, 150 watt projection lamp. Front adjustment foot allows for ~1.5" of height angle adjustment. Built-in film trimmer. Very well built all metal construction. Looks well cared for and all works great! Comes with take-up reel that stores in front cover and a NEW projection lamp. Also includes our standard 90 day limited warranty (excluding lamps / bulbs). Measures 11.25" long x 8.5" deep x 11" tall (with film arms folded) and weighs 19 lbs unpacked. Film shown in photos not included.

SOLD 12/2/16
SHIPPED TO NEW YORK
 VERY WELL BUILT, all metal construction, Sekonic, model '30-J', Regular 8mm movie film / cine projector. This is a very well designed projector, that was meant to last. Since it has variable speed (widely ranging), and a zoom-lens it is well suited for doing 'film to video transfers'. Original Japanese made, 'S-Resonar-Zoom' Lens: specs 1:1.5 w/ f-15-25 zoom range. Lens is 'cloud free', clean and is quality enough to project a crisp, clean, clear and focused image, even to a majority of the image edges (most 'home' grade projectors start to 'fall off' pretty quickly towards the image edges, due to low quality optics in the lens). Projector will play forwards or backwards (no still and film must 'play thru to end' to enable 'fast wind' mode). Has frame-adjust lever for fine tuning frame position. Utilizes model DCA 21.5 volt, 80 watt projection lamp (Fresh one installed prior to shipment).
 
 Sekonic 30-J Features:
 
 - Regular / Standard 8mm, silent film Projector
 - Electronic Variable Speed
 - 'Semi-Auto / Manual Loading' (that works great)
 - Ultra-Bright 'Resonar' Zoom Lens - f=/1.5, Zoom 15-25mm
 - Forward or Reverse Projection
 - Can be run without lamp (useful for 'playing out reel' without burning lamp life)
 - Accommodates up to 400' reels
 - DCA 21.5 V / 150 watt bulb / lamp (may also use lamps: DEF / DCF)
 - 'Take-up' Reel included
 - Built-in Film Trimmer
 - Adjustable 'Front Tilt / Angle' Foot
 - Very durable 'Toggle switch' controls
 - Single Frame advance knob
 - 'Swing-Out' lens housing for easy film gate cleaning
 - 'Room Light' outlet
 - All metal housing
 - High Power, 'Turbine' cooling fan prolongs film life and protects film
 - True “WORLD AC POWER"™
 as it will work on both 50 or 60 Hz AC and voltages from 110-240 Volts AC
 
 Front adjustment foot allows for ~1.5" of height angle adjustment. Very well built, 'all metal' construction. We have completely gone through this projector. It was approximately 80% disassembled internally for restoration including the drive motor for re-lubing. Both hubs had the shafts pulled, cleaned and re-lubed (prior to that they are almost always frozen due to "varnished" lube). Hub clutch, completely dismantled, cleaned and re-lubed. This particular model utilizes very smartly designed clutches which is about the best design and virtually trouble-free with their fresh cleaning and lube. Motor disassembled, cleaned and bushings lubed. Main drive belt and both hub drive belts replaced with new. The main drive worm / cog gears cleaned and re-lubed. We checked out all functions and made any necessary adjustments. Only minor issue with unit is that when 'rewinding' longer films, it get's a bit sluggish towards the end and may need to be 'helped' along with larger reels (fairly common issue with a variety of machines, regardless of restoration). There are no rubber drive tires / wheels to crack, glaze or deteriorate, so no need to worry about one failing down the road. Should service be required in the future (probably not for a few years), this unit is designed to be very 'serviceable'. Speed control is via the built-in rheostat. A very durable design. Again, this unit had extensive restoration (about 7 hours) and came out GREAT!!! This unit is ready to go. Looks and works great! This would be a good "work horse" for a film transfer house. This one includes the original case, box and accessories. Comes with a metal take-up reel, a copy of the instruction manual, an EXTRA projection lamp / bulb (DCA), as well as a NEW / FRESH DCA 21.5V / 150 Watt projection lamp. Also includes our standard 90 day limited warranty (excluding lamps / bulbs). Measures 10" wide x 7" deep x 11" tall (with film arms folded) and weighs ~13 lbs unpacked.

 We have completely checked through this unit! Cleaned inside and out (this machine had been meticulously cared for throughout it's life, so was very clean to start with). Internal worm gear, main drive mechanism was completely cleaned of old lube and re-lubed with silicon gel, as well as both nylon gears. A fresh, new main drive belt was installed. Unit, cleaned of old lube and re-lubed, only in the correct spots so as not to interfere with the hub 'cam / catch' mechanism, then checked for proper function.

Speed control filament windings in great shape with no worn / dead spots. Film gate cleaned as well as track. Auto-load mechanism works well when used correctly. Lens is clean with no cloudiness, fungus or loose elements. We then checked out all functions and made any necessary adjustments and extensively tested with both Super 8 and Regular 8mm film.

CLASSIC & VERY EARLY FUKUIN ELECTRIC CO. / PIONEER HI-FI / STEREO SPEAKERS
PIONEER "TITAN IV"? SPEAKER
Circa 1960-61
for sale
Massive and VERY EARLY Pioneer 'Hi-Fi' speakers, direct from Japanese market. These appear to be original, factory built, Pioneer Titan IV speakers. The 1960 driver complement in these were typically offered in the US as 'kit' form (due to impracticality of SHIPPED such voluminous cabinets from Japan) but according to their consignor, these were brought over by a GI on military transport, so economics was not an issue. He purchased them originally in Japan. These are among the first drivers branded 'Pioneer' from the original parent company Fukuin Electric Co. The company changed it's name to Pioneer in 1960 or 61. There are probably less than an 'handful' of these in the US (if that) and probably only a few dozen in the world. If you want the rarest of the rare Pioneer speakers, here you go. These things are MONSTROUS!
"Hey, Go Big or Go Home!"
Their huge drivers are both efficient and seem to be power capable (handled our Hafler P225 well, but as always, be careful with irreplaceable 'vintage speakers).
Our speaker tech has completely gone through and 'Certified' these.
He has completely disassembled them further, testing all drivers independently. No material issues found with any of the drivers. Each was 'swept' with the AF generator while removed. All drivers were re-installed with the addition of gasketing material to further seal and eliminate any ‘flange to baffle’ rattles and buzzes. Attenuators removed and cleaned for ‘static free’ operation. Gasketing added to the attenuator plates prior to re-installation as well. We also 'modernized' the input connectors (gasketing also added to their mounting plates). Gasketing also installed on rear panel, prior to re-installation. He also installed new, height adjustable, leveling, 'glide' feet. Entire speaker system then swept with our AF generator from 20-5,000 Hz and feeding them with the output from our Hafler P-225 Pro Power Amp, looking for any irregular vibrations / anomalies in either the drivers. driver mounting, crossovers or cabinet structure integrity.  Next we auditioned them with our standard, 'abusive' demo / testing CD's / cuts running the gamut from Dire Straits, 'Brothers in Arms', TLC 'Fan Mail', Allison Kraus and Union Station, Nickelback, a digital recording of a cathedral pipe organ, our 'Usher Speaker' demo CD (no not that Usher), 'Friday Night in San Francisco', with Al Dimeola, John McLaughlin and Paco DeLucia, Nickel Creek's, "When in Rome" from the CD, "Why Should the Fire Die", Jennifer Warnes, "Famous Blue Raincoat", and a few others, all digitally recorded and some 'DDD'.
Very 'large' sounding cabs. I did prefer them with an EQ, but I know you 'purists' would 'cringe' at that idea.
 Pioneer Titan IV Speaker Features include:
 
- 3-way, Bass-Reflex design
- 12" Pioneer PW-30C, Cast Aluminum frame, Low Frequency' Driver (woofer) w/ vented Voice Coil and AlNiCo magnet / motor.
- 6" Pioneer PM-16B midrange 16 Ohms & AlNiCo magnet / motor.
- 3" x 2.5" Pioneer PT-6, 16 Ohms Horn Tweeter w/ AlNiCo magnet / motor.
- Infinitely variable L-Pad for Tweeter attenuation
- Pioneer DN-7 2-Way / 3-Way Crossover
- 11.5" x 8" Tuned Port

Pioneer Titan IV Speaker Specifications:

System Design: 3-Way, Bass Reflex
Driver Compliment: PW-30C 12", Cast Frame Woofer, PM-16B midrange / Squawker, PT-6 Horn Tweeter & DN-7 Crossover.
Frequency Response: ~35-20,000Hz
 Nominal Impedance: 16Ω
 Cross-over frequency: Pioneer DN-7 500Hz & 4kHz @ 12dB / Oct
Power rating: likely 25-40 Watts
 
The real wood, Mahogany veneer cabinets in INCREDIBLE shape, as are the original grills. They are virtually blemish / mark free and look like they could still be on the original show room floor. The cabinets have just had a fresh coat Howards 'Restore-a-Finish' and 'Feed-n-Wax' rubbed in to bring out their original luster. Again, our speaker tech has completely refurbished, tested and Certified these speakers performing the previously mentioned processes.
 Great speaker for a lower powered 'vintage' Hi-Fi system, or that low wattage or 'single ended' tube amplifier. They look, work and sound great! Cabinets measure 38" H x 27.25" W x 17.75" D and weighs a hefty 90 lbs each (due to their huge size once packed, the P,S & I on these to much of the lower 48 states of the US would run approx $450-$650. Locations such as North Eastern States, North Western Washington or Southern Fla would run more). Includes our standard 90 day limited warranty (excluding problems due to under / over powering.

RESTORED / REFURBISHED / FULLY SERVICED
VINTAGE ESB STEREO SPEAKERS
ESB 7/08 HOME AUDIO SPEAKERS
#...7400 / 7401
  Circa 1984-86
MADE IN ITALY
  for sale
 There aren't many ESB's in North America, as they were imported in limited quantities from Italy, where they comprised approx 25% of the speaker market!
 ESB (ELECTROACOUSTIC SYSTEMS BUILDING)  They are an impressive speaker in design, build quality, construction and sonics. Their detailed and balanced sonics are accomplished via a couple of design characteristics. One is the 'coupled' Midrange and Tweeter design. The other would be the a radical modification of Horizontal and Vertical alignment. From a 1984 review,
"A key element in the design of all the Series 7 speakers is what ESB calls DSR (for "distributed spectrum radiation"). which is intended to maintain accurate, consistent stereo imaging over a wide listening area. Vertically, this is achieved first by building the mid- and hi-frequency drivers on a single mounting flange, minimizing the distance (and therefore the interference) between them, so that they act as nearly as possible like a single point source... The method ESB uses to stabilize the image horizontally is a refinement of a familiar technique. 'Toeing in' a pair of speakers so that their forward radiating axis cross slightly in front of the listening position usually broadens the area in which you can sit without the stereo image collapsing into the speaker nearer to you."

These are great performing speakers for most any genre of music. We extensively tested them with our barrage of material. They were very balanced and handled power well. Probably not a speaker for every week party's, but for a great 'large' sound, you'll love them. These are in beautiful physical condition as well.
Features include:
  
- 3-Way, Acoustic Suspension / Infinite Baffle cabinet design
- Asymmetrical / Mirror image cabinets w/ angled high-frequency baffle
- 10" Woofer with fresh foam surrounds (were re-foamed prior to their arrival to our shop. The tech utilized 'Cerwin-Vega' surrounds, which are 'red' in color, then 'blackened' them, with questionable success. Sound and perform fine, but noticeable cosmetically)
- 2" Hemispherical 'coated' silk dome midrange w/ heavy duty motor 'coupled' to tweeter plate
- 1" Hemispherical 'coated' silk dome tweeter w/ heavy duty motor 'coupled' to mid plate
- Heavy duty, Banana / Binding Post speaker input terminals
- Externally located, independent, glass fuse protection for all 3 drivers
- Incredibly well built crossover.
- Heavy build, 'acoustically solid' cabinets
  
Specifications:
  
System Design:  3-Way, Infinite Baffle / Acoustic Suspension
Frequency Response:  45Hz - 20kHz ±3dB
Crossover points: 600Hz & 6,000Hz
Sensitivity: 87dB @ 1W, 1m
System impedance: 6 ohm nom / 5 Ohms min.
Recommended Amplifier rating: 40 Watts minimum, and were originally tested when current with 300Hz bursts at 500 Watts

Our speaker tech has completely gone through and 'Certified' these. The surrounds were recently replaced with 'Cerwin Vega' 'Red' foam, that was 'stained' black, prior to arriving to us. We have completely tested them with both recorded material, PN 20-20k and swept them with our AF generator from 20-5,000Hz and feeding them with the output from our Hafler P-225 Pro Power Amp. Then further auditioned with a myriad of our difficult to reproduce 'test' CD's.
 The real wood veneer, cabinets in beautiful shape with no serious 'battle scars'. Have been given a coat of Howards 'Restore a Finish' then buffed w/ 'Feed-n-Wax'. With the exception of one missing logo, the original black knit grills are in great shape and the original frames are structurally sound.
Again, these are great looking and sounding speakers and would be happy coupled with most any medium to large receiver / amp. Cabinets measures 37.5" high x 15" wide x 11" deep and weighs a hefty 55 lbs each. Includes our standard 90 day limited warranty (excluding problems due to under / over powering).

Great tape for general purpose recording.
These are 1800' / 548.6 meters and 1.0 MIL thick, and include individual, boxes with a plastic reel. More than enough length for most LP's at 7.5ips (fast, consumer speed) for 90 minutes combined sides (180 minutes at 3.75ips). According to an original catalog, "1-Mil base of heavy-duty Polyester resists breaking and stretching while giving you extra-wide response.""   Will work on any 'head format', meaning 'quarter track', 'half-track', 'full-track', '4-track / '8-track' / 'multi-track', stereo or mono tape recorders / decks. Reels are 'light gray' plastic. Leaderless tape.
We have actually found that 'Normal' bias tape works best on the older decks such as the pre 1980 Akai's, Concertone's, Craigs, Crowns, Grundigs, Kenwoods, Pioneers, Realistics, Sansui's, Sony TC's, Tandbergs, Teacs, Telefunkens, etc. We have gotten some fine recordings using this tape, and due to the extreme 'retention' of high bias tape some times it is difficult to erase. These always seem to erase fine.
 Most are at least 1800 feet and some with leaders intact and may or may not include individual box (often do). Most have been used and will have recordings on them. Boxes and / or reels may have extraneous labels and / or marking on them. Reels may have blemishes / nicotine staining / dust etc. You will need to come up with your own labels as even if they are in the box, they likely aren't "sticky" anymore. Due to unpredictability of stocks we cannot "cherry pick" brands so they are always assorted. Plastic reels may be clear or black. Will work on any 'head format', meaning 'quarter track', 'half-track', 'full-track', '4-track / '8-track' / 'multi-track', stereo or mono tape recorders / decks.
