I hate when people ask these questions about radios & TVs, but I honestly have no idea what my TEAC 4010S tape deck is worth. Nice condition, works as far as I can make out, has original manual. Something I picked up years ago and never used as I had imagined.

I suspect the value is slight and it weighs a ton, so my plan is to list on the local craiglist.

Regards,

Phil Nelson

All depends on operating condition and physical condition of the heads. If the set works properly and has good heads with no wear gap then I suspect you could get anything from 60-$120. I've seen minty ones sell for as high as 200.

Thanks, I'll list for $50 OBO and try to get a nibble.

Admirable machine. Mine was pre-S, playback almost indistinguishable from input. These were simplified Ampex 350s.

The S stood for silicon, the pre-S was germanium, inrunner motors much faster wind than the outrunners in S. Scary fast.

No idea what they're 'worth', kinda wish I had mine back, it was flatter than my Technics 1500 15ips half track.
