Description from the seller

Technics RS-B605 – Class AA Stereo Cassette Deck + Set of 3 Tapes
Product Description:
offered is a high-quality Technics RS-B605 cassette deck, praised for its exceptional musicality and refined operation. This model features a very quiet mechanism and an accurate audio pad, making it an excellent choice for collectors and fans of analog sound.
Technical condition:
The unit is fully functional and ready for use. It has undergone basic maintenance, consisting of:
- Thorough cleaning of the interior and the tape path components.
- Extensive testing of the recording and playback functions.
- Demagnetization of the heads, which restored full clarity of the high frequencies.
Note on the counter: It is a factory design of this model to display only three digits, while the last part shows a motion animation. This is not a defect – all units of this model were produced this way.
Visual condition:
The visual condition is very good for its age.
Front panel: Contains small, shallow imperfections that are hardly noticeable with daily use.
Top cover: Shows some scratches, but due to the light color of the housing they are not noticeable and do not affect the overall aesthetics of the set.
Included in the auction:
Technics RS-B605 cassette deck.
Power cord.
Set of 3 cassettes:
2x TDK SA 90 (High Position / Type II Chrome) – used, in very good condition.
1x Expert Type I (Normal Bias) – brand new, still in the shrink wrap.
Technical specifications (approx. 1988-1989):
Noise reduction: Dolby B, C, DBX.
Heads: 2 (1x record/playback, 1x erase).
Motors: 2.
Frequency response: 30 Hz to 17 kHz (Metal tape).
Wow and Flutter: 0.06%.
Dimensions: 430 x 115 x 287 mm.
Weight: approx. 4.3 kg.
Shipping and packaging:
The unit will be very securely and safely packed (with ample protective material and a sturdy box) to ensure it arrives in the described condition. Shipping with Track & Trace.
