Good condition. Powers on and key functions appear to work.Missing one knob one front and some scratches on top panel. Make me an offer.
This is a fair ask, leaning slightly good if it’s complete and working. A USD150 tag sits right around the going market for a Tascam CD-450, with recent used examples clustering roughly around USD100–USD180 and some asking higher when condition is cleaner, so this is not a steal but also not inflated.
The appeal here is the usual Tascam rackmount strengths: solid pro-build, straightforward transport duties, and a format that still makes sense for a system that values reliable disc playback over frills. At this price, the value improves a lot if it’s been tested, the tray and display are healthy, and any original manual or rack ears are included; if it’s untested or has transport quirks, that USD150 gets less comfortable very quickly.
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.
