Description from the seller

Rare High end 3-head deck with all metal housing

The Onkyo TA-2060 is a high-quality, vintage three-head hi-fi cassette deck, manufactured by the Japanese company Onkyo between 1981 and 1984. At the time, the model was renowned for its excellent build quality and advanced technology—notably its direct-drive motor and the manual "Accubias" system.

Fully working order.
New idler wheel installed.
Heads cleaned and demagnetized
Speed set correct
Sounds perfect!
Azimuth checked correct
Contacts cleaned

Key Specifications

• Heads (3-Head System): Equipped with three separate heads (a combination record/playback head and an erase head). This allows for "off-tape" monitoring, enabling you to listen to the recording quality in real-time as it is being captured onto the tape.
• Drive Mechanism: Features a reliable Direct Drive (DD) motor for the capstan, paired with a DC motor for fast-forward and rewind functions. This ensures highly stable tape transport with a low wow and flutter rating of just 0.04%.
• Tape Compatibility: Supports Normal (Type I), Chrome (Type II), and Metal (Type IV) cassettes.
• Frequency Response: Ranges from 20 Hz to 21,000 Hz when using Metal-type tapes.
• Noise Reduction: Includes Dolby B, as well as the—at the time, relatively rare—original Dolby HX (Headroom Extension) system, which helps prevent high-frequency saturation during recording.
• Accubias: Features a manual adjustment system that allows you to fine-tune the bias (pre-magnetization) to perfectly match the specific brand or type of cassette being used. Physical properties

• Dimensions: 418 x 120 x 330 mm
• Weight: 6.5 kg
• Color: Primarily released in a classic silver finish, featuring analog VU meters and LED indicators.
