This is an early Teac A-2340 4 channel tape deck, 7.5/3.75 IPS with synced over-dubbing capability, 3 motors, 3 head design, 7" reel capacity. This machine uses standard HiFi (unbalanced) RCA inputs and outputs, and accepts line level and (1/4" TS) microphone level signals.

This version does not have line voltage selection, or a dual pulley capstan for 60/50 HZ operation.

The previous owner added a set of chrome handles to the wood side panels using Tee Nuts, and did a nice job. Handles are easily removed without removing the side panels,
