Pioneer RT-909 4-Track Auto-Reverse Reel-to-Reel Tape Deck 

This Pioneer RT-909 has been professionally evaluated and function-tested prior to sale. All basic transport and operating functions were tested and passed, including playback, fast forward, rewind, stop, pause and the associated controls and displays. A video demonstrating operation is included with the listing.

This is the desirable factory multi-voltage version, rated for 120/220/240V AC, 50/60Hz, with an externally accessible voltage selector. The machine is currently configured for 120V operation.

Cosmetically, this example remains in good overall condition for its age. The brushed-aluminum face presents very well, with no major damage, and the controls, buttons, trim and other exterior components are complete. The black cabinet shows ordinary scratches, marks and wear consistent with previous use and age. Please examine the listing images for the overall cosmetic condition.

This machine is being offered as a professionally evaluated, fully function-tested vintage unit, rather than as a recently restored or comprehensively serviced example. No claims of recent electronic restoration or calibration are being made.

Worldwide shipping is available, and local pickup is very welcome. International buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties, taxes or brokerage charges.
