Pioneer RT-707

8530 Pioneer RT-707 Auto Reverse Direct Drive Reel-to-Reel Tape Deck — Excellent Condition | Serviced and Checked by Andrew The Pioneer RT-707 is a 4-head, 3-motor open reel tape deck from the late 1970s, widely regarded as one of the finest reel-to-reel decks Pioneer produced for the domestic market. At its heart is an AC Servo direct-drive capstan motor, eliminating the belt-driven capstan found in many decks of the period and delivering excellent rotational stability with wow and flutter rated at no more than 0.05% WRMS. Two further 8-pole inner-rotor induction motors handle reel take-up and rewind. The RT-707 accepts 7″ reels and offers dual-speed operation (19cm/sec and 9.5cm/sec), auto reverse on playback, and independent left/right recording with mixing between mic and line sources. This example has been fully serviced and checked by Andrew prior to listing, with the internal transport and relay assembly inspected as part of that work. Condition: Grade A — Excellent This deck presents very well with minimal signs of use. Please refer to our photographs for a full assessment of cosmetic condition.
