Quartz locked decks
What's that, like a timing thing for tape speed? Considering how many weekends I spent in hifi stores it seems funny that I never actually had anything good when I was younger :)
I posted a Wanted and have an offer so I can give that a go. Will start with less interesting tapes I guess.
Having looked at ebay, now I want a Nakamichi just for the 80s vibes...

I've had a Nakamichi 600 on the list for a while, but given I only own 3 cassettes
I haven't yet managed the mental athletics to justify the cost - despite how fucking cool they look -

Yeah, checks the timing is correct by some kind of sensor against a reference point and makes adjustments if necessary. Sony have something similar, but can't for the love of me remember what it's called. If you're buying something older this might help you -https://www.hifiengine.com/

Quartz locked decks are definitely a thing, as are Walkman with line level outputs if you're looking for something a bit more quality that's going to run at the right consistent speed. Also whatever it is you decide to get make sure you're sure it doesn't chew up your tapes. ⚰️
