Tascam 464 in very good cosmetically condition and fully serviced.

This is considered to be one of the best 4-track cassette-recorders out there in terms of sound-quality, interesting features and ease of use, the poor man's 246 but more of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Serial-number: 240689

This unit came in as a parts-machine due to rust on the mechanism and power supply (check before and after pictures). I then took the challenge to get it working again, treated the rusted parts one by one, reflow the soldering points that needed redoing due to oxidation and deep clean all pots and faders. Incredibly enough, the unit works perfectly now after many hours spent on it and what started as a personal project, which I thought I would keep for myself, came out so well I can sell it with confidence it will last for a very long time.

Additionally the following works were done:

- Complete disassembly mechanism
- Replacement Main motor
- Reconditioning 2 drive motors
- Main Belt replacement
- Idler Tire replacement
- Gear C replacement
- Door-lock repair
- All Diode's of LCD VU-meters replaced
- Pinch Roller reconditioned
- 4066-IC's upgraded with 4X MAX4066 + bypass filter for improved sound quality
- cleaning pots, switches and faders
- Rebuilt all the faders and 3 potentiometers
- Speed calibration
- Azymuth adjustment
- Dismantling and Cleaning front- and rear-panel
- Replacement 3 push-switches tape-drive control
- Replacements of all knobs with black ones (644/688-type), half of the originals were in very bad condition.
- Polishing screen and door-lid
- Demagnetising heads
- 2 Speed adjustments
- Azymuth check/adjustment
- Rec/playback level check/adjustment

I'm specialized in servicing all cassette-based multitrack recorders, having experience on the most common (Tascam/Teac, Fostex, Yamaha,..) as well as the more obscure/rare models out there (Akai, Sansui, Alpine, Vestax, Vesta Fire,..). Feel free to ask for more detailed pictures or information regarding this or any other model, I'd be happy to help and guide you to find the multitrack-recorder you require for your project.
