Hi and thanks for looking! This is not "I found this and fixed it up for Ebay " tape machine. This is a deck that has been maintained and gently used as a part of my system and collection. I have too many reel decks. I am selling off a few machines in the coming months and I'm starting with this one. This unit is plug and play. Everything works flawlessly. Last year it was evaluated and capacitors and transistors were replaced as needed. The tension arms were also cleaned and damping f...luid was replaced. Reel motor tensions were also adjusted so that it runs nice and cool.. and never snatches tape. It lays that tape down perfectly in the center of the reels without touching the sides. The bumper pads that keep it from sounding "clunky" were replaced. It has new brakes.. all servicing was done to keep it in tip top shape and it has been used very little since. How many decks can you listen to at one time.. ;) It is ready to start recording and playing for you today, without issue. Levels are spot on perfect and it records and plays like a dream. It is such a smooth operator and is so gentle with the tape. The heads are in terrific condition. Capstans are spotless and continue spinning for over 6 seconds after power off. 'Nuff said. The aluminum hubs and reels are not included, the plastic original pioneer NAB hubs are included.(see last pic) You get the deck and the original pioneer hubs and that is all that is being sold. Whoever gets this one WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I have been selling stereo equipment from my ever and always changing systems since 2002. Every one a satisfied customer and this is reflected in my feedback. It will be packed to be bomb proof as I don't want it damaged more than you don't. These things are like my children..lol. It is a heavy unit.. around 60 pounds packed! It will be insured for the final winning sale price and we startin' out with a low low price of $99. I have also made it available for local pickup if you are within driving distance. Thanks for taking your time to look and read my description, and good luck bidding should you decide to own this very nice Pioneer RT-909. Please feel free to ask questions as I am happy to answer them and have a great week!
