Thanks, On the right hand side you can see knobs for the tape “Tape monitor” you just flick it to the on position and it cuts off the rest and it does play the signal from the tape.
Yes, those are really nice, we are all admired them before but the price was probably too steep for us but now you can pick up one for reasonable prices, I managed to get few of them over the years. Hopefully you can find one and get a chance to bring back great memories.
Yes, but don't use records that are in really good condition in changer mode, if you want them to stay that way (and why wouldn't you). Notice how it slips when each record drops...you can even hear it on the video. That is going to scuff, and it will build up damage over time, along with accidental scuffing in building a stack. Thankfully at least these do not require the overarm to be placed over the records as that is another place to cause damage given most of those make full contact with the record on top (some are just in contact with the label). There were a handful of changer models made by VM that were the gentlest changers ever - they not only excluded the overarm like Technics, but they also stopped the platter from moving while the record was gradually lowered vs dropped, so there was none of the slippage which occurs with even things because the platter is stationary and the record is lowered vs dropped. You're still dealing with potentially scuffing up records in making the stack and taking it apart, along with any warps that may introduce slippage during play, but the player design and mechanism eliminated the other issues. You can watch the best model of these...the 1555...work here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iF5ALj2GyCE.html ...and here (rebranded under Sherwood): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sk_Mrvce6vg.html
you need to put a little sticker on the cassette to get the 4 track playback and recording. it is just a black line on sticking tape to engange the light sensor behind the cassette in the tray very nice machine! simple and functional
Hi, I think it was around 220-250 dollars but I might be wrong to exact price. If you have one In nice condition look after it as they are lovely machines.
@@FunwithVintageHiFi You know, you're right. I've been scooping up JVC 2-headers to add to my collection of 3-head machines. I was a BIG Sony guy growing up and all my tape decks were Sony. The problem with JVC decks is that they are no fun to work on because they don't need anything but a cleaning. They all seem to still run without any issues! lol
Hi, for sure nice restoration would be nice, I just don’t have a time to do stuff like this, I try to bring it to all that appreciate the vintage hifi, with a opportunity to seek those things work and maybe to see if they would like to one day to get themselves one of those things. Appreciate your input, that would be nice to have it restored.
The problem with this model was in fact those glass heads. They were great for mechanical wear BUT the composition of the heads made them very unstable at higher frequencies. I tried to have them re adjusted but no good. The higher freq's were missing. anything above say 9 K were gone. Very troubling. I had heard they some people replaced those heads with laminated heads giving much better performance. I was so upset with this model, I finally got a Technics US 1500 US 1/2 track machine to make my master tapes. The response on the US 1500 was 20 to 20K. BTW, the 7010 was heavy 70 some pounds.
Got two of these, using a pd-s703 cd, qed anniversary cable and ipl s2tlm speakers. The quality of music reproduction is amazing. Picks up the 16bit video game sample in Lana del Rey's track. An old but seriously capable unit. Recommended.
Hi, It’s hard to compare as I did not connect it to main receiver to have full experience but it does have surround option and it does sound like a proper surround, I think it’s designed with intention to give you a “space” experience like you are in the opera or concert hall, especially that Sansui design special unique units that you can connect to your record player and if record was recorded for quadrophonic lessening that would make it for you all experience. Unit is called: Sansui QC-04 CD-4 Demodulator, I think it’s first take on surrounding sound experience at home, great unit for anyone to check out. Thanks for watching🖖🏻
Are u spanish? I love old technics ❤ i bought that fm radio and a Akai also. I dont like that they are exclusive or tuner or tape. Maybe a combo tape+tuner in one could be perfect. Very good video. Best regards
Hi, No I'm not Spanish ;) I love all old vintage Hi Fi that what prompted me to show them a bit as I have a large collection of vintage hi fi stuff, I am all for Technics as that how I started to collect and then Pioneer and Akai and so on ;) There is combo from Technics: Technics SA-K6L, it is an a Receiver with cassette tape player/recorder, maybe in the future I will do the presentation as I do have one but in need a bit of restoring. Thanks for watching :)
You are right, I just checked on the net in the owners manual but I have seen in vintage hifi store that there was installed brush arm but maybe original design was for the "head shell" I never seen that someone is keeping one there. Good call.

Hi, Thanks for watching, me neither, I didn’t know that Technics was making them, it’s really cool to watch it when that changing magic happens, if you can see one definitely buy it just for fun and 6 records make your evening sorted ;)
Few things to check/upgrade: Two obvious ones like stylus and cartridge upgrades, further you can upgrade the connection cables and probably the most expensive part would be to upgrade the tone arm. I would start with stylus and then cartridge but check on the website what is available for your machine.
Hi, Thanks, yes it is, it is one of my favourite ones that I came a cross with, highly recommended not only for the look but for the quality of the sound in that price range.
I am currently making a "boombox" from a Kenwood Z919 and KAC-680 with Infinity Kappa 6x9s. Its made of plywood 30x12x12. Its for my garage listening while I work on stuff. Portable though to go anywhere.
I just got one, it had a few issues when I first got it, maybe it had been sat for awhile and not used. It wouldn't record at first, it was just very low with a distortion. After a few attempts, I am getting really good recordings and playback is fine. This is a great cassette deck considering it's 45 years old!
How I wish I owned this Technics system back in the 80s! Technics made great gear in the 80s, I don't care what these audiophile snobs say about the brand.
I had a SA 210L and really liked the sound but it had a massive "whuump" in the speakers when turning it on and I didn't want to ruin my speakers. I actually gave it away, I regret that. Currently have a SA 180L in great condition and that runs really well, no "whuump" and just runs and sounds nice!
To be honest sometime they do that, I am not an expert on the electronic part of it but I realised that if I turn volume way down before switching it of it helps and that "whump" is not as loud as normally.
@@FunwithVintageHiFi I have it with my old Rotel receiver also. You are right, turn down the volume or put headphones in the socket before turning on. Should have kept that SA 210L, nice receiver.
Great unit. I don't think they were sold in the US. There is a review of my PM74D on my channel. You are correct that series of amps was very good. Thx.
I am not sure if they did but those days you can have import from anywhere in the world, in did the sound is quite nice they are underappreciated amps.
Hi, It’s working very well, it does have two settings for different cartridges, depending which one you use on yours turntable, many people making mistakes with it, it will only work on one of those settings never on both as you obviously have only one type of cartridge installed at any time.
