Have you got a TEAC A-3340S ?

[SOS Digital Media]

Hello Forum users.

SOS needs a photograph of a TEAC A-3340S that's not under copyright. We have a feature we would like to use this on but our own archives can't turn up anything suitable.

Your wish is my command oh hallowed one. I have one but it has me in it. A bit fuzzy as the pic was taken in 1978, but the 3340S is 95% there and clearly seen.

There are several for sale on eBay, is it not worth contacting the seller and asking if you can use the pic?

They are asking £2680 for this one!!!

I still have the photo as explained above, I don't still have a A3340S

How do I get the pic to you?

[resistorman]

I have that machine and can take photos for you

EDIT: sorry, just checked... it's an A-3440

Good lord I know this doesn't help you for a photo but I used to own one of those along with the four channel external mixer that worked with it. I am amazed how much they go for now.
Lovely machine though, it was rock solid and incredibly even though when I owned it second hand it was probably 15 years old but teac still stocked a replacement capstan roller and vu meter light when I serviced it. Wow that brings back memories....

That's a bit of kite flying IMO, though they are a 'HiFi dealer' presumably catering for the audiophool community...

I had something rarer back in the day, the 4 track Dokorder. The one where the recorder sat flat and the meters were on a sort of separate meter bridge on a slim column. It was an impressive tool but the relays would sometimes stick and not make contact on record. So I thought, just the job for a squirt of WD40, and me, let no expense spared, showered the relays in a can full of the stuff.

That was the end of a beautiful romance, it never worked again

Thanks all for your replies.

I've got a nice picture now so job done - thanks. Interesting to read your comments though and certainly a trip down memory lane for many of you.
