New in the 8-Track world
Hey there all,
I don't know who still uses this News group, but... I just found a Pioneer H-R99 on a pile of trash. This was on a abandoned industrial place in the harbour of Gent (Belgium). It did look like crap but I cleaned it and fixed something and it's working quite well now. Even got myself some Maxell tapes and they are on their way from the USA. Anyone know if the prices on eBay are a bit fair? or are some really way too high? Greetings, Peter van de Beek The Netherlands. |

Greetings, Peter van de Beek The Netherlands. as a rule now, Ebay is quite reasonable- tape prices are near giveaway, deck prices are very low compared to years ago the HR99 is a good deck, but if used heavy suffers quick capstan wear, causing the tapes to drag- it's got a small, weak DC motor, a major drawback. But the electronics in it are first class. Change the motor every few years and I guess it's an ok deck |
