Recovering Gear-aholic
I picked a Teac X20R last night. Kind of a blind purchase, as i did not know exactly what the seller had except it was a Teac and had 10 1/2" reels. Figured that was going to make it a decent machine for no matter what model it was. For $30 with hubs and reels, I knew even if it was junk I wasn't getting screwed
Turned out to be an X-20-R in almost perfect cosmetic condition. This is a model I have not seen anything on. It kinda looks like an X-10. It is autoreverse and has built in DBX and something called ESS. I havent had the time to do more than a quick look over, but it seems to be a very nice machine...logic controlled, dual capstan, dbx, variable speed,etc.
If it tests out good, it could end up pushing some of my other machines to the ebay jungle.
Can anyone give me any history/ placement in the TEAC hierarchy of machines? Reliability? Etc?
