Verkauft wird ein Tascam 122MKII Tapedeck als DEFEKT. Optischen Zustand am besten den Bildern entnehmen. Es geht an, Beleuchtung und Regler lassen sich alle problemlos betätigen (Input L und Output Regler eiern etwas). Leider liegt wohl ein mechanische Problem vor, Kassette lässt sich nicht einlegen und abspielen. Der Teil mit dem Tonkopf geht scheinbar nicht weit genug nach unten Die Idler wurden schon erneuert, ohne Erfolg. Verkauf darum ausdrücklich als defekt..... Abholung natürlich möglich.
At €180, this looks like a strong bargain against the recent used market: it sits well below the €260 25th percentile and far under the €341 median, even before you factor in the “for parts” status. For a working unit, that gap would be huge; as-is, the price is still low enough to attract anyone who already has a donor deck or is comfortable repairing one.
The appeal here is the machine itself: the 122 MKII is a respected pro-style cassette deck with a serious transport and a reputation for solid playback/recording when healthy. The upside is in parts value and restoration potential, but the caveat is obvious and material: “for parts” usually means age-related service needs, so only jump if you’re buying for repair, spares, or a known-fix project.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Tascam is a Japanese professional-audio brand whose roots trace back to TEAC, founded in 1953 by the Tani brothers. The TASCAM name emerged in the late 1960s as TEAC Audio Systems Corporation, and it was formally established in 1971 as TEAC’s U.S. distribution and development arm for recorder products aimed at musicians and studios.
The brand is best known for recorders, mixers, field recorders, multitrack production units, audio interfaces, and related studio gear. Its catalogue has historically centered on practical recording tools rather than lifestyle hi-fi, with strong associations to cassette Portastudios, reel-to-reel machines, and compact pro-audio components.
In the market, Tascam sits in the pro-audio and project-studio space rather than the high-end audiophile tier. Its reputation is built on utility, durability, and value, and some vintage models have become collector favorites, but the brand is not typically positioned as a boutique or luxury hi-fi name.
