Teac A-103 Cassette Deck The Teac A-103 is a classic, no-frills stereo cassette deck from the late 1970s, designed for reliable analog performance with clean, simple operation. Built in Japan, this unit embodies the solid engineering legacy for which TEAC is known — favored by vintage-audio enthusiasts looking for dependable tape transport and analog warmth without excessive complexity. Its front panel features a mechanical tape counter, analog VU meters, and dedicated transport buttons (play, stop, rewind, fast-forward, record). It supports two tape types — standard (Type I) and chromium (CrO₂) — and includes Dolby B noise reduction to help suppress background hiss. The DC FG (field-generator) servo motor offers stable tape speed control, delivering consistent playback and record quality over time. To deliver this product properly, it is carefully packed in very strong boxes, thereby wrapped in bubble wrap with lots of padding.
