Finally! Found my Pioneer ct-f615

[Robb]

Been looking for a few years now for a mint condition, Pioneer CT-F615 cassette deck to go with my Pioneer SA-610 amplifier, TX710 tuner, and DT-500 Timer.
Well, I messaged a Pioneer nut on audiokarma and managed to work out a great deal ! It used to be his dads. He went as far as making 4 videos of the deck playing, recording and even a sine wavelength test video ! It has new belts on it as well as he has changed them out last year. This deck is Made in Japan, which I wanted. Most I found were made in Korea. Dont know why that is. It also came with owners manual and schematic.
Anyways, heres some pics. I'll have a video up as soon as I get some rca interconnects for it.

Wow, now I understand why you have been looking for that deck. What a SWEET rig!

Update:

So I opened up the deck and lowered the Playback level by adjusting the Pots.
It seems to have lowered the playback to +3dB Now, depending on the recording.
Btw, I adjusted the back fluoroscan meter pot and it didnt do much.
Here's some pics and video
