PIONEER CTF1050, NEEDS REPAIR PINS WITH WEAK SPINNING BUY IT AS PARTS See description Pioneer CT-F1050 Rare 2 Motor Autoreverse Stereo Cassette tape Deck, Vintage 1980, Good look, possibly serviced in 1987. REMOTE CONTROL (WIRED)– INCLUDED- MODEL JT-216 Original Operating Instructions and a card for random access music selection, included PINS SPINNING BUT WHEN A CASSETTE INSERTED, THEY ARE NOT SPINNING ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS SEEM OK, more info below DIGITAL COUNTER – YOU CAN SEE A PROBLEM IN THE LAST DIGIT. A small bottom line does not appear. PLEASE NOTE that when pressing "play" or FW or RW button there is an effort by the wheel to spin, it starts but stops so this makes the digital counter to start counting a bit, it goes for example from 0 to 1 or to 6 so this shows you this counter works yet there must be a repair. When the FF button is pressed and no cassette is inserted in the compartment, the counter works well, it counts normally. Counter resets fine. I am sure specialists know how to fix this, several videos in youtube for fixing the counters, but i have no idea if finally the counter needs replacement. THIS MUST BE BOUGHT AS IS / AS PARTS / AS NON WORKING / AS DEFECTIVE / AS NEEDS REPAIR ONLY Has not been tested (since with a cassette it does not work, pins not spinning, how then to test it?). Also sound and recording can't be tested. All buttons/switches work well, all buttons can be pressed and return to the original positions, or turn right/left Cassette compartment works well, opens and closes well. All lights work well. Light inside cassette compartment works well (see photo) Reverse works well. Auto reverse in both Record and Playback, not many 3-head decks capable of that. Remote control works like a charm !, also here when pressing play or FF the pins try to spin. When I press the play button (without a cassette inside), I notice the head coming up (inside the cassette compartment), when I press the stop, the head comes down. When I press the play button and the direction is in reverse, I can hear a noise for some seconds (same or similar noise when you press the play button in the norman direction towards to the right) and then it stops. When I turn the switch to :program" or "repeat" then the counter numbers go away, when I switch back to "PMS" or "program clear" the counter numbers appear again. When I switch to "repeat" and I press the "check " button, then the "side A" and "memory" red lights appear. When I press the "check" button then the second digit on the counter appears and when I press the up button the fourth digit appears. When I press the memory button the side A or B red lights flash. Please check the photos and the photo of the back that shows some labels with some tech info Cosmetically in good condition, some signs of age/use (since 1980's!), a few typical scratches in the sides (see photos) The front panel has been cleaned to the best possible extend The remote control has some yellow marks possibly from dried very old rubber on it, please see photos To avoid misunderstandings you need to buy this as parts/not working only ! If your test proves successful, then this will be a wonderful surprise for you.This is not porcelain that you just take photo before shipment and when it arrives at destination you just check visually if there is any damage. This is electronics with unknown conditions (moisture levels, static electricity, different electricity voltage tensions, whatever) during shipment and use at final destination, so to repeat, you need to buy this as parts/not working. I am not an electronics specialist, this is addressed mainly to hobbyists/enthusiasts or to those who buy/refurbish/resell these yet anyone else who just loves it would not be excluded. I did not open the item inside, expect some dust there logically after all these years Serial number: AI9301381 (see pictures) Original packing: Not included Origin: Japan, this was actually bought in Japan in Osaka or Yokohama by a Greek merchant mariner, bought some time between 1980-1984. Other technical info: I do not know, please find relevant information on the web, please check the photos showing the back with some info. Possibly serviced in 1987, you see a label on the back of it dated 1987, The price asked is very good, If you search on google you will find parts only for more than 200-250 USD !!. You can find parts only without any simple test and with some buttons missing about 130 USD Both above mentioned sometimes without remote control and manual. The working ones score by far more than 300-400 USD even reach 500 USD You also get the manual (it sells online for 10-20 USD) The manual in some pages has very small signs of use, it is not in mint condition, however it is in good condition. ATTENTION, IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR EUROPEAN BUYERS This is the US ebay (ebay.com) but there there seems no option to place a separate postal rate for shipment if it is from Greece to Europe, so EU buyers please do not hesitate to contact me and ask for an offer as I may be able to reduce the shipment costs (please do mention how much would you like the total cost to you). For the rest of the of the world and the USA, the shipment cost remains the same it is 171 Euro (ca 149 USD) and discount on this is not possible, yet some discount on the item is still possible, so US buyers can send me their offer Item Size: ~ 42 cm X ~ 35 cm (including the back/front buttons ) X 12 cm in inches this is approx./about 16,5 X 13,8 X 4,7 inches. Net weight: ~ deck: 9,9 Kgs + remote control ~ 210 gr. + 72 gr. Operating instructions = approx. 10,2 kgs ( ~ 22 lb + ~ 8 oz ) Gross Weight, (item+packing): ~ 14,1 Kgs. (~ 31.1 lbs). The package is too big for my scale ( a household one), so maybe I do not have a very accurate reading, grossw eight must be between 13,8 Kgs (~30.5 lbs) to 14,1 Kgs. I will need to assume it is 14,1 Kgs (~31.1 lbs). scale is commercial, non laboratory, possible deviation ~ +-2% Item is already packed to measure gross weight and then calculate shipment rates. Size of the package: ~ 64 cm X 35 cm X 60 cm ( this is in inches approxim. ~ 25.2 inches X 13.8 inches X 23.7 inches ) Extremely well packed ! Took two afternoons to pack this. If you want to see photos of it's packcing message me and I can send you a google drive link. Please allow me more than 1 working day to ship this, this is heavy and needs a trolley to be carried on, and no parking near the post office in the centre of Piraeus. Registered post, Insured (Secursus). The shipping costs includes postage, insurance (The French insurance company Secursus), labor, very strong, very large custom packing. Secursus asks (but not demands, it just mentions it is strongly advisable) for an email adress of the recipient so they can send there their insurance terms so up to you if you will provide to me an email address, alternatively you may visit the Secursus website online to learn more. Shipment to Europe by Greek registered post/tracked package, takes ca 5-15 days but occasionally can take longer. Ships from Greece, item location is in Greece. Shipment cost includes postage, labor and cost of materials for very strong packing Import/Export customs, tariff costs/procedures on behalf of buyer. Weblink/shipment status/ International Tracking number provided, FOR ALL COUNTRIES INCLUDING UK ( parcel A or B from Greece) Cancellations/Return not possible due to shipment costs, not refunds accepted, what you see is what you will get. You will be provided with photos showing condition of item(s) just during its packing so you will receive item(s) as described. Make sure from the photos that you are satisfied with the description and the item(s) before you purchase it(them), so please no any reviews less than 5 star ratings. If you have questions I am always available and I will respond to you soonest possible.

Custom made packing is made for protection and to know the accurate gross weight, so item(s) is(are) already packed, it is difficult to unpack them or in case there is more than one item in the lot, again it is difficult to unpack and separate the items, get new pictures etc. If you want to see more pictures of the item(s) I can send you a separate google link where you can see the photos I have taken before having item(s) packed but finally not placed online, as ebay allows only 24 photos. Item(s) can't be shipped as "gift" or "sample" ! If shipment is outside the European Union, then I need to add the customs, TARIC (harmonized system – HS) Code in the web labeling of the Greek postal online service, I will add whatever I believe best describes the item and correlates well with the international description of the Harmonized code. If you already know the TARIC code just message me immediately after purchase so I can compare it with mine. As value of item during shipment I will place in the Greek online postal system whatever is written on the ebay's Invoice. A piece of paper will be included in the package next to the postage labels, folded and it will include, description of item, ebay's invoice value, size of package, gross weight, ebay's order number. Would be very glad to get your counter offers but please note the price offered is already competitive plus I have to pay insurance of transport (Secursus), to go to the post office spend time, spend time to pack (very securely !), buy and use packing materials (still some costs, bubble wrap, cartons, security seals, packing tapes, label envelopes etc.), spend time taking detailed photos during packing, uploading the photos (so I can provide you with a weblink so you can see the packing in full detail), it takes too many hours to do all this. Last not least just message me if you have questions ! I would be very happy to answer as soon as possible. Although I am a member in ebay in general for 3 years (please see also my other account: account: geok68 in ebay.co.uk ), you may see only few sales from me, as only recently I try with some items in ebay, I do have however many years presence in another European blue platform with too many sales and reviews, so don't hesitate to buy from me just because I have sold few items in ebay.
