Teac TD-102 1956 with Teac AR-8 Amps
This is one of the first Teac reel tape recorders that belonged to Sound Masters of Chicago. The unit was built into a custom box and had an additional fan installed to help cool all the electronics. The capstan looks like its been soldered in place. Truly a well used deck.
Similar recorder marketed under the Concertone brand in the 1962 Radio Shack catalog. Go to more about Teac Concertone
Looks like a refrigerator handle was used to carry the extremely heavy unit.
This is the first professional Teac reel to reel tape recorder produced by the Tokyo Electro-Acoustic Company - TEAC. The recorder is believed to be based on the Ampex 300 created in 1949.
Teac employee with the Teac TD-301 which had 10" reels
This recorder originally came from Nashville, TN and appears to be brand new in its original wooden shipping box from Japan.
Interesting that the TD 102 is crossed out and 301 & 9 added. David Hutton brought to our attention that this was actually a 301 and that probably an old Teac-TD-102 tag was available and used for the TD-301.
Jerry Norton worked for Berlant Concertone and shared a summary with us about Teac building units for Berlant Concertone and building Dokorders for Tokyo Denki Onkyo.
This Teac TD-102 tape recorder is pictured on the glass and wooden box that Tokyo Electro-Acoustic Company (Teac) released in 1988 celebrating 25 years of Teac history. We also have the complete 1988 Limited Edition box that includes all the contents.

The first version of the A-2340 was available until 1973 (with chrome knob inserts) $849. Later units, 1974 on had totally black knobs and a new transport mechanism (in 1978 $850)

In 1974 the first TASC Series 70 reel-to-reel recorders were shipped to dealers in the United States. Originally manufactured in Japan under the brand name TASC, the recorders were rebranded under the TASCAM name. (The transport for the Series 70 recorders were based on TEAC's A-7030 transport.) There were four 70 series products:
1) 2 track, 1/4 inch master recorder
2) 4 track 1/4 inch reel-to-reel
3) 4 track 1/2 inch reel-to-reel

Teac 80-8 1975 & RX-8 1976 Specifications $3,990
This Teac 80-8 came to us from its previous owner in Austin, Texas. Interestingly, included were several 1/2" reels. One of the reels contained a "live" recording of Willie Nelson performing at River Bend Church in Austin shortly after the IRS problems.
Teac Tascam 80-8 eight track 1/2 inch reel to reel tape recorder and tape with Willie Nelson cuts in Reel2ReelTexas' vintage recording collection. This model recorder was used to record the Star Wars R2D2 tracks and was used by the Eagles, Boston & Kansas to develop their material before going into the studio.
I found it interesting to read in the January 1981 Modern Recording & Music magazine that the Doobie Brothers mailed 8-track Tascam tapes back and forth to each other as they were working on new music.
