Message from Down Under! Sale of a Studer A807
Hi Curt
Just a quick thanks. The A807 is finally at my place after being held in customs for a couple of weeks. Very well packaged. Everything is in great shape and ready to go. I’m also grateful that you included a takeup spool, two NAB hub adapters, a reel of new tape, a t-shirt and a coffee mug. Excellent service from start to finish! Please feel free to use me as a very-satisfied-customer reference anytime.
FYI import duty was not payable on this shipment (I assume because the item is used) but Goods and services tax (GST) was payable at 10%. Overall a smooth process. Now to get the dehydrator working and archive some vintage 456.
One more question: I’m seriously on the lookout for a professional radio cart machine or two; CEI or Cuemaster for example. Stereo or mono, play only or record/play. If anything comes up I’d be most interested.
Thanks again. The peace of mind you provide is sincerely appreciated.
Kind regards
Jon
Hello Curt. Just a quick note to say the r2r survived the cross country trip. I have played a couple of tapes and it works great! Now I just have to decide what to do with my Akai GX- 210D. Thanks again for everything. Have a great weekend.

Subject: Re: NEW GLITCH WITH AKAI PURCHASED IN FEB.
I played two different reels today without incident, Curt, after thoroughly cleaning the pinch roller.
Thanks again for helping me quickly and easily resolve what I feared might be a costly and time consuming problem.
I don’t really understand a lot of the negative carping about Akai decks that I see in my Facebook “Reel to Reel Enthusiasts” group.
Other than a couple of minor glitches that you have expeditiously helped me to fix, the Akai you sold me has been, and continues to be, an excellent performer!
Best,
Lee
A nice email from Mike who lives in Seattle…who purchased a Teac A-4300 deck
Hey, Curt. Just a follow-up. I can’t thank you enough for all the time you spent with me yesterday teaching me what I need to know about using the deck and the things to watch out for with different types of tape. It was worth double the price of the deck itself!
I got home and put on an old unmarked tape and found a treasure that almost brought tears to my eyes. I’m sure my whole extended family will have a similar experience once I share it. I hope you can find some joy in knowing you’ve not only blessed me but a whole tribe and, potentially, their descendants.
Thanks again. Now, I’m off to get all my digitization stuff set up. 😉
Sincerely. Mike
Kudos from a Reverb Customer!
Sale of a Teac A-2300
Hey Curt – one final message. I’ve been running the TEAC through its paces and really it’s everything that I wanted when I placed the order. Thanks again very much for the user manual and additional guidance as well! I had a conversation earlier tonight with a buddy who was aware of my purchase and asked for a referral.
Best wishes for your business going forward!

Repairs to a Teac A-1250 reel to reel.
From Al
Hi Curt,
They delivered my tape deck this morning. I couldn’t be happier with it. So far everything works!
It sounds beautiful. It’s also noticeably quieter. I think adjusting the reel table helped with that.
I am thrilled with the results and grateful for having found you guys.
Thanks again,
Al
For repairs to a Tascam TSR-8 eight track recorder.
I finally just started messing around with the deck and all I have to say is wow! It brought me a lot of joy to finally record and playback some recorded material. You did an outstanding job and I am grateful for your services. I am happy the deck got to see a professional and is back to its proper functioning state. Everything is tuned up really well and the reel to reel is running very smoothly. And the felt pads were the cherry on top, I was very impressed to see that attention to detail. By the way, thanks for the cool mug!
Regards,
Ben

Curt, thanks for the so-far excellent repair job you’ve done on my TEAC X-1000R reel-to-reel. It was packed very well and made through shipping fast and with no damage. So far, I’ve only tested playback in forward and reverse for a few minutes but tomorrow I’ll test it some more. Seems great so far. Thanks again.
