I purchased this nice TEAC TZ-10 Maintenance Set from a gentleman recently. He had gotten out of RTR a while back and recently discovered that he still had this item.

I have seen these kits before, but rarely were they complete. It's a given that the TZ-261A Head Cleaner fluid would be evaporated after 35 years, but most kits are missing a few pieces as well. Quite often, the flashlight is either missing or damaged due to corroded batteries. But in this kit, it is not only there, but in pristine shape.

According to the instruction sheet, the kit came with the batteries for the flashlight. These are not in the kit, but that's probably a blessing, as I can not believe that they wouldn't be corroded by now and would have ruined the kit!

I thought you TEAC fans might enjoy seeing this kit and the instruction sheet.

This kit is a welcome piece of vintage 70's memorabilia to be added to El Monte's collection.

Hi El Monte Slim,

That's a neat little maintenance set. I'm concentrating more on obtaining accessories for my reel to reel recorders, than another deck. That is a great addition to the Teacs you already own.

Nando.

THAT is an awesome score, and probably much more eminently useful than half the "gotta haves" I end up grabbing. Schweet!

Very nice kit there. Lots of good stuff in that.

Send the oils out for some testing so we can use the right oil for the capstan and the pinch roller. How many here use the same oil for those?

I have one of the Anniversary kits with the Rubber, Head and Stainless fluids, wipes, q-tips and the E-1 demagnetizer. This kit came in a wooden box with foam cut outs for the items. My unit needs to be refoamed!! Can I get that on ebay or from reedger or looneytunes2001?

I still have my original glass bottle of the Teac Rubber Cleaner, RC-2 (?) and it is STILL the best rubber cleaner (the green stuff) I've ever used. Any of that left in there?
