Thanks Daniel, had some PC-issues yesterday when posting.
Were planning more pictures but didn't work..
Yes, this 3340 has been a on/off project for awhile now, but finally ready.
Going to a new home but almost kept it for myself.
One of the nicest I ever had Daniel so took some pictures of this beauty.
Not often you find a deck this old with less then 5 % headwear + all original documents and box included.
Found this in CA and bought it from the first owner since new.

This is borderline pornography!

But seeing as there was no centerfold, I guess I won't report it!

Nice machine and excellent restoration job, Rolf!

Cheers!

Accurate analogy, Jeff.

Thanks for sharing the picts with us, Rolf!

Btw, from what I've seen in the way you pack, the buyer should be calm and relaxed. Tell him I said so

[Vintage TX]

Thanks guys, next time I put a naked women next to the deck.
But remember to look a the reels and nothing else.
Yes original box and a new box around supported with styrofoam panels should keep it safe for the trip.
Had 2 decks came in last week with damage..poor packing.

[A Reel Person]

I have a few, myself,... like,... one in my name for starters, eh?

[SteveMac]

Wow, real nice. Looks like mint. I had a Teac similar to that but I think it was the SX. That's not to say it looked as minty as THAT.

[Herm]

I got that 22-4 last week and the guy did a real good job at packing.
I got lucky on this one and it only needed a capstan belt and it was up and running like new. He even had one in the box for it.
It also came with a rx-9 dbx unit but Its got a problem in the power supply.
One of the fuses was bad so I replaced that but All I get out of it is a hum in the machine and a reading of about -5 on the meter when I turn it on.
All of the relays work and the system lights come on but it just wont work. Its above me for repair so I dont know what I will do with it.
Any Ideas? I dont want to put it on ebay as one of those sold as is deals know well that it wont work and stick someone with it.

I guess I cant complain to much for a total of 116.00 bucks for a nice recorder.

I was looking at the same machine Herm.
Not sure how the DBX got screwed up like that, did he connect it wrong and mixed up in and out maybe ?

[Herm]

That could be. The only thing is he had a chart to tell him how to hook it all up. Oh well Cant complain to much I knew there where some problems to start with and the dbx unit was just an extra.
Also in case anyone should run across one I need a capstan motor and control board for a 22-2. It is the same one that goes in all of the 30 series machines and twenty series. I robbed one out of one of my 22,s to fix a 34.
