Vintage Zenith cassette deck out of a console.

It has a very odd cassette transport when compared to the common one. It's a neat unit. I came out a console along with a nice 4-speed turntable. This is good AC bias.

I've just realized, there'll be no erase protection on that deck since the rear tabs protrude out from the deck mech - just be careful to think twice before pressing that record switch!!

Yup! This type records ANY cassette!

He makes a lot more songs than that, but I'm not sure how many know him.

That video was great, because this time there was no reference to "radio" whatsoever, except for depicting the receiver's frequency display.

[CassetteMaster]

Well, you at least like this one.

is that empty compartment on the front for cassettes ?, I wonder if it was really made by Zenith.

Clarion actuaily means some sort of Bell in french... so it would be a good name for such equipment.

Fun song, great machine.

Seems to sound pretty crisp for something this old :).

Reminds me of equipment my grandparents used to own. LOL They had stereo system branded DYN and another that was branded Claricon. People wold always correct me with "Clarion" and I'd have to show them the receiver to prove that Claricon really existed. LOL Nice front-loading home tape deck btw. Zenith made an interesting array of products in the day. Though I bet they wish they would not have turned down a request to manufacture the first Odyssey vg console.

Iteresting cassette deck, it looks like they were trying to imitate an 8 track.

Which reminds me, I had a Zenith Digilite stereo with an 8 track and turntable. The 8 track player was basically separate, even though it was built into the case. It had the RCA plugs coming out of the back cover of the stereo and plugging into the tape in/out jacks.

It looks like that cassette deck would fit right in where the 8 track player was on my stereo... It's basically the same size.
