So I went to Dexter's Market (here in Moncton, NB, TONS of electronics). And I was in heaven! I seen a Toshiba deck that loaded strangely (door went UP!, and did not grab the cassette), Akai, Yamaha, Teac, Technics, Pioneer,etc. Then I seen her. The elegant Marantz SD 4000 deck.

I bought it on the spot!
Following are pics of it recording from a CD. Note the random vintage XHE videotape on top of my CD deck.

Very nice looking Marantz, Luc! And with the capability of the higher tape speed, is another plus.

Thanks! I just made a recording of ABBA's "The Album", and was amazed at the perfect response.

I didn't note it, but I bought it for $75 CDN

Nice buy! Was that your present to yourself?

That series of Marantz are quite attractive IMHO and are rare to find in working condition. Good score!

[mrfoxboy]

Yeah, it was :-) And in perfect working order. So far, it's worth buying.
