Did these Miracord decks find their way to the UK, or will you have to import one and faff around with motor pulleys and such.. Just get a Dual 1019 instead, or a 1229 with M91-ED (lovely :))
I don't know Dave. I was flitting around the 'net looking at stuff about ADC cartridges and found a thread to the picture and was surprised to learn that the deck was made by Elac and dated back to the '60s. I didn't know Elac was so old, predating Shure I think with making cartridges. I've only known the name from speakers in the '80s. There's various models but I love the black and chrome finish of that particular model. It was made for Radioshack in the US.Quote:

Ah, memory lane! My first cassette deck was the model below that - the RS-263US.Quote:

Yeah. . . Life's a bugger at times. Isn't it Adam!Quote:

Recordings had grip, if sounding a tad proccessed.
After a good check up & clean this baby just requires Belts & Motor run capacitors replacing, o & the Brake adjusting, but still works as is...It'll get a full fettle when the bits arrive.. One or two very faint marks on the silver pannel but nothing that will drive me too nutty :D
Uher 'Variocord 263' R+R :)
