You are bidding for the bottom component only in main photo - Circa 1976-77 AWA/Clarion MD-7800K Stereo Cassette Tape Deck. This is deck is faulty. The left channel is not working, the right channel however is working perfectly. I took it to our local tech who traced the problem to a faulty IC in the Dolby NR Circuit. The wiring diagram states it is IC 101 - 051-0094-00, but the IC is marked Clarion 69-0064-01. Instead of getting it repaired i decided to sell this deck as i don't use tapes any longer. At least you now know the problem and it will be a very nice sounding deck once repaired and well worth it. This is a well designed deck by AWA (Australia) and built by Clarion in Japan. I believe not many were made and this one is serial #001947. This item is 240 volts and weighs 10kg unpacked. I have listed all the specifications for all to see. The original 16 page Instruction booklet is included which also includes full wiring diagram, mechanism control diagram and dolby NR diagram. The front of the facia has only a couple of minor scratches and some on top lip of facia. The casing is steel with a dark grey painted finish. I believe it was originally in some type of rack, possibly designed for studio use. All 3 components had no rubber feet so i have purchased new rubber feet and mounted them in the existing screw holes with correct screws. Here are some features -
Professional type design
Gentle touch operating buttons
High performance AWA/Clarion developed transport
Dolby system built-in
DNL (Dynamic Noise Limiter)
Hall IC full auto stop system
Full complement of Automatic Mechanisms
High voltage regulated power supply - The DC 30 volt regulated power supply is a luxurious extra in a cassette deck. Dynamic range becomes widened, frequency response improved and distortion reduced. Record/Playback response is additionally stabilized against fluctuations in AC primary voltage, temperature and other ambient conditions. The excellent SN ratio also contributes to rich clear sound quality.
Electronic Muting
Mic Mixing input
Large size level meters plus peak indicator
Well there you have it. Fix this baby up and you will have a top deck! I am also listing the matching AM/FM Tuner and Amplifier so please see my other items on Ebay! Item is vintage electrical and is sold as is but as described.
