After 30+ years, the belts go bad, rubber parts deteriorate, lube turns to glue, and solder joints weaken. So it is inevitable, sooner or later they will all need service, no matter how little use they have had. In fact, this deck uses the same Tascam transport as several other decks, which has an issue with the "C Gear" aging badly and eventually cracking. So, we always replace this gear in any deck using this transport, whether or not it has cracked yet.Our tech has performed extensive service on this deck, ensuring you reliable service for years to come! See below for specific service performed. We are so confident of our work we have doubled our guarantee to a 60-day Free Return Policy!

Also, EPIC packing! Great Ebay seller! WOW great company! Highly recommended. Great communication and service.The Tascam 112 MKII was a true production workhorse designed for professional musicians and production studios! It was released in '94 for $920, that's almost $1,800 today! The installed LA-112 Module adds dual balanced XLR Inputs & Outputs to make integrating into your studio rack even easier! Ideal for mastering and mixdown, the TASCAM 112mkII is equipped with high-end features such as Dolby B & C with HX Pro Headroom Extension, Pitch Control (12% +/-) w/On Off switch, automatic tape type selection capable of sensing Normal (Type I), Chrome (Type II), Metal (Type IV) tapes! It has two-locate points, repeat function, and RTZ functions. Input and output level controls are located on the font panel in addition to front line inputs.It also features a parallel port for external control and an optional balanced connector kit, making it flexible enough to integrate into any production studio. The 112mkII is equipped with rear panel unbalanced inputs and outputs. Tascam also offered an optional balancing kit LA-112 (included). The front panel has dual 1/4" Mic inputs and a headphone jack with volume control. The rear panel has standard RCA input/output jacks plus the "Remote control" serial port. It uses three spaces in your rack, measuring only 14" deep and weighs just under 20 lbs. This rackmount deck has the original factory feet installed, they are easily removed for rack-mounting. It is The Best, Ltd. policy to double-box all items over 25lbs. Considering the value and vintage nature of these decks, we will give it the high-end treatment as well. The Free Shipping is for the Lower 48 only, HI & AK must select USPS Priority shipping at checkout! Insurance & Signature are covered on us! Paid items can be picked up in the Denver Metro area at no charge. Condition:This rare deck is in "Excellent" condition with minimal signs of use and nice, bright meters! So what puts the "Y" in Minty? After a close inspection we found a nice, clean front panel with no signs of previous mounting to the rack ears, the only thing worth mentioning is a few light scratches to the top, some too faint to make out well in the pics. If it weren't for this trivial thing we would have had no problem calling this beauty fully "Mint!" All the original knobs are present and complete, as are the attached feet and AC cord. The included manual is a copy and in excellent condition. The spec sheet shown is for reference only. All comes in the pictured generic box with custom Styrofoam packing. Please examine all the pictures thoroughly for actual condition. Service:So why refurbish a deck with such little use? After years of experience evaluating this equipment, we are keenly aware that many of these vintage items that have gone unused for decades is for a good reason. Often it was returned due to a flaw, anything from a scuff to not working at all! So no matter what, all items that appear unused are thoroughly scrutinized for any issues before we can put our guarantee on it. On inspection, this deck was working, still it went to our tech for service. Good thing too, in addition to a dried out belt, while the C-gear appeared correct it snapped in half when removed! This is why we always replace the C-gear with a real, injection-molded gear, not made on a 3-D printer in someone's basement. Both of the VU lamps were still working, still both were replaced with long-life LEDs with a Warm White color. We were using 3-segment LEDs but they were really too bright, so we have sourced some 2-segment LEDs to closer replicate the original incandescents. It's this kind of thoughtful, preventative servicing that makes it smart to buy from a company with an experienced, in-house technician!All decks receive a full restoration which includes the following services and much more, all performed by our qualified technician:Unit is dismantled and inspected to determine if any attempted amateur repairs exist that need to be corrected, or substandard parts that need replacementHeads are checked for flaws or excessive wear; highly worn heads indicates excessive wear to the entire transport so they are taken out of serviceThe exterior, all knobs & plexis are cleaned & detailedAll switches & pots are cleaned internally with Specialist Contact Cleaner (proven superior to DeoxIT by our customers)Any faulty components, such as jacks, lamps, feet, etc., are replacedCassette transport mechanism is cleaned & lubed with non-petroleum based lube to assure long lifeNew "C Gear" installedCapstan belt replaced w/ high-quality neoprene beltPinch roller & idler tire are inspected and treated with Rubber Renue or replaced if questionableAll electrolytic caps are inspected for bulging or leakageKnobs tightened & adjustedAudio levels calibrated & balancedTape path is cleaned and heads demagnetizedTape Speed calibratedNOTE: It is common for the tape speed to drift a bit as the servicing and new components installed in the transport settle in.

If there is a particular test you would like performed please let us know before buying and we would be glad to accommodate any reasonable, detailed request. While we perform multiple basic calibrations, we do not have the equipment to do full calibration on high-end units like this, so we cannot guarantee all levels are fully within manufacturer specs, or will remain so after the rigors of shipment.
