Kenwood Dual Auto Reverese Cassette Tape Deck

Kenwood KX-W8020 Stereo Dual Player/Recorder Auto Reverse Cassette Tape Deck. The deck is in fair to good cosmetic condition. I have fully inspected this deck by checking any rubber drive belts, idler wheels, All of this is VERY important to have a good functioning deck especially the belts and idlers because they deteriorate over time and not from use. This deck really has some nice features like dual auto reverse decks, fast dubbing, soft touch button controls, Dolby B, C NR, dual motor drive, auto, both. Record, tape select (recording only), auto space, auto bias, blank index search, tape counter, relay play, Timer recording/playing, dual led meters, and digital tape counter.

I would say this is a very satisfying mid end 2 head dual tape deck in sound and functions. Most parts made out of solid metal and a strong tape mechanism to last. For the quality of this deck (sound and function) I would give it a 8 out of 10. May need some exterior cleaning from smudges and surface dirt. This has been tested for about one week after inspecting on and off to assure it stays working.

It will be thoroughly re-tested right before packing. There is a trend going on with sellers who sell vintage audio/video equipment.

Most are not serviced or inspected properly or just simply copy and lie what other sellers do just to make the sale. They may also sell items well below value for this same reason or to support a bad habit. Avoid purchasing from sellers with lazy descriptions and who are probably inexperienced who are just listing item as they found them from the trash, thrift shop, flea market, yard sale, basement, attic, etc simply because they work as they found it with no servicing done. This includes long term testing, and other necessary servicing before and after sale inspection right before packing.

An audio or video component may only work shortly when it arrives because they did not put in the important details in the description and it probably wasn't serviced which is prone to failure such as a good percentage of them do after a short use. This could possibly damage and destroy your precious tapes at any point if a mechanical failure happens. The average life of rubber parts in tape decks (belts/idlers) is 15 years r less and then they weaken and turn to goo. This is a costly fix and would waste your time when you could have it now and not have to worry.

Dust and shelf life may deteriorate and deform parts over a short period of time just sitting. Most do not do any of this nor do they know how. I have been constantly servicing home audio and video equipment for 30 years.
