Title: Score: HK TD292 for $5.
Post by: SunnyDaze on October 31, 2010, 01:30:58 AM: It actually sounds better than I thought it would. All of the functions operate smoothly. It's got an MPX filter, manual bias adjustment, and HK advertised it as 20-20.

I need to degauss the play/record head on it. They've probably got one heck of a magnetic build up after all this time.

It's not a Tascam, but for $5, it works!

$5 was a MUCH better price then I paid! ;)

I'm accepting cassette donations, if anyone's interested! :)

It was on CL along with a Dual CS 630Q for $5. I haven't tested the TT yet.
