Onkyo TA-2040 Cassette Deck – Silver, Japan, For Parts/Repair
$25.00
Sold as-is for parts or repair: multiple faults, not covered by our warranty, not eligible for trade-back, all sales final. What it is, is a 1980 Japanese-built two-head deck with a sendust head, full-logic transport, FG-servo motor and Dolby B — not economic for our bench, and a completely different arithmetic if you have a soldering iron.

Onkyo TA-2040 Stereo Cassette Deck – Silver, Made in Japan, Sold As-Is for Parts or Repair
A 1980 Japanese-built Onkyo cassette deck with multiple faults, offered as-is for parts or repair, with no warranty implied. It is not economic for us to repair to the standard we would want to sell it at — but that is a commercial judgement about our own bench rates, not a verdict on the deck.
Where the TA-2040 Sat
The TA-2040 is a two-head front-loading deck with a sendust record/playback head, full-logic soft-touch transport, FG-servo DC motor, Dolby B, fluorescent level display and auto-stop. Handles normal, chrome and metal tape.
Who This Is For
For a hobbyist with time and a soldering iron, that arithmetic is completely different, and this is a deck worth having a go at. Failing that it is a genuinely useful donor: the silver faceplate, the knobs, the transport assembly, the heads and the display are all worth having if you are keeping another Onkyo of the period alive, and a working deck of this vintage costs many times more than the parts inside this one.

Yamaha RX-V1070 41lb! Natural Sound AVR *As-Is*
Sold as-is, for parts or repair, with no warranty and no trade-back. There is no sound output from any channel and the display is frozen; it has not been serviced. When it worked it was a 1993 flagship — 110 watts a channel at 0.015% distortion, Dolby Pro Logic, MM phono, pre-outs, and 41 lbs of it. For someone who repairs things.
Sony RCD-W3 Single Deck Playback – See Description
Sold as-is, and here is why: the left tray's laser has failed, so it will not record and will not play from that side. The right tray still plays CD, CD-R and CD-RW, and the digital outputs, analogue outputs and headphone jack with level control all work. That makes it a working CD player, a repair project, or parts. No returns, no warranty.

Sold as-is for parts or repair — the amplifier board requires service and is not represented as working. What is good: the cabinet, very good cosmetically with its non-parallel walls intact; the custom front-firing 10-inch long-throw woofer, tested and working; and the 11 by 13 inch quadratic planar down-firing passive radiator, undamaged. GoldenEar supplies a replacement amplifier board through its service channel.
