Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Re: TEAC Reel to Reel player help

Thanks for all the replies and information.

The film in question is called Fire With Fire and is not available on DVD at the moment.

So...the S in the base model, the SD had dolby and SR auto reverse, the makes a lot of sense. How is the SX and updated version of the S, that is what was updated exaclty to amke it a SX? I assume it has no additional features and so are we just talking better components?

Thanks again.

Hi there and thanks for the replies,

I have spoken to the girlfriend and it turns out that when she was at school in 1986 she saw a film that captivated her. She has started up a fan club, opened up an online page and collected a lot of merchandise including the Japanese and German versions of the film, which are exaclty the same...just dubbed. Anyway, during the pivitol scene of the film there is a dance/party scene where a TEAC A-2300SD is featured supplying the music. She wants one of these players as it featured in the film and only wants to use it to play the soundtrack back. Not sure how she is going to get the soundtrack on tape, but I was told that was for her to worry about, and she is very resourceful when it comes to that movie.

So, it has to be a TEAC 2300. However, I have managed to talk her into being a bit flexible with the model. I am assuming that the 2300 S was the base model, and has been mentioned previously the SD had the Dolby option. What I am wondering is what made as SR model a SR and what made an SX a SX model. If the SD is the only player with Dolby, did the SR and SX only have one extra feature than the S and what would these differences be? Also, if there a particular model that commands a premium for some reason.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I am hoping someone will kind enough to help me out with a little problem I have regarding TEAC reel players. The problem I have is that the missus has her eye on a TEAC A-2300 SD, which in itself is not really a problem. The thing is I need to find out fairly quickly how good this model is and how it stands up against the A-2300 S, SX and SR and what the differences are. I am happy to get her a player but would rather spend a bit extra and get a quality model, especially as it's going to be on view, and I do not want a constant reminder

Please help,

Thanks,

L
