Akai CR-80T Arrived!
Just got my CR-80T today and thought I'd post an update. The deck is
in very nice condition, plays well, changes tracks at least on the tapes played so far and it doesn't crackle in either channel which is a relief! I did notice a little bit of crosstalk inbetween tracks on some tapes, so it most likely needs a slight head adjustment....I'll have to look into that in the future. The azimuth seems good...getting some decent highs for the most part. Hooked an FM antenna up and can pull in most stations in my area....not a bad tuner and the circular green dial is kinda cool. This deck appears to be an early Akai model, resembling my Roberts in that it holds the tape very secure and the side panels don't have the screws like the later models have. Overall with a little tweaking should be a good reliable deck and one of the better ones I've got off the bay. Have a great Thanksgiving! |

Why do you continue to buy 8 track crap to resell on eBay, when your reputation worldwide is swirling in the toilet like the big, squishy turd that you are? Why not be a good little 'tard, pack up your crap and move to the 8mm NGs. Go annoy them for awhile. |

I'm forever in your debt! Well...figuratively, at least! How I got your post twisted up with Charlie Nudo, I haven't a clue, but the author column was clearly showing him as the author. Now, I look again, and your name is there. Again, my extreme apologies for the mix up. |

He is disabled, does not work, and sits home stewing on the net all day- waiting for monthly disability SSI checks. He bought an alignment tape from me, returned it for a full refund, which I sent him by check- he cashed the check, then went BANANAS in here for the past 3 years. look at what he's doing now, he thinks you're a "scamming ebay seller" he also had (2) of his own Ebay usernames permanently banned, for auction harassment- the guy is INSANE |

Overall with a little tweaking should be a good reliable deck and one of the better ones I've got off the bay. Have a great Thanksgiving! nice deck you have there- the tape head height and azimuth screws are on bottom, remove the bottom cover- azimuth is the small phillips head screw without the spring under it- do NOT turn the screw with the spring under it- that is only the tensioner- the head height screw is the larger flat blade screw there are also (2) tiny flat blade screws for head tilt forward/ backward. usually those are ok and fine- but after you get your height and azimuth dialed in, using a Columbia cart- you can check those while playing set all tracking adjustments on channel 2 and 3, don't set them on 1 or 4- because that will bias the settings towards either top or bottom of the tape. Setting them to 2 or 3, splits the difference, and gives good avg. playback on all 4 programs ps- beware DeserTBob and his false tech info- he gave Ommadawn tech advice, that ruined his new deck- you said have a great Thanksgiving- DesertBob is an atheist- he has such an acute case of left-wing mental liberal disease, he immediately thought you were me- FYI, he hates the holiday season, because he has no family to share it with- he also hates Christmas- this is the type of guy he is- BEWARE ! He no doubt hates you now too, because you like Thanksgiving have a great Thanksgiving yourself |

Why do you continue to buy 8 track crap to resell on eBay, when your
reputation worldwide is swirling in the toilet like the big, squishy turd that you are? Why not be a good little 'tard, pack up your crap and move to the 8mm NGs. Go annoy them for awhile. That NG has pretty well dried up over time as well. It used to be flourishing years ago. Seems to me that CalJam chap was even posting there a few years back, though quite sensibly if my memory is correct. Anyway, most posters have migrated to policed forums. |

DeserTBob going through his yearly holiday depression-again

DeserTBob is going through his yearly holiday depression again- one year he was posting remarks that said "f-k Christmas"- the guy hates his life, hates America, hates God, and hates the world- he has no family to speak of, and suffers from not being loved as a kid... add to it, his financial state doesn't allow him to enjoy the holidays... see below Holiday Depression No matter where you go this time of year, you are bound to see festive lights, beautiful decor, and men and women hustling about, planning holiday activities, attending parties, shopping for the perfect gifts, and more. The holiday season is very joyous for some. However, it can be sad, lonely and often times stressful for many others who experience holiday depression each year. Holiday depression, also referred to as the "holiday blues," affects more than one million people each year. It is a very common emotional experience, which can be triggered by a number of things, including stress, fatigue, unrealistic holiday expectations, financial limitations, inability to be with family and friends during the holidays, or just the opposite, pressure to be with family and friends. The loss of a loved one or a lifestyle change, such as a separation or divorce, can also lead to holiday depression. |

No prob DB! Wish this group could get back to the original focus of "fans of the endless loop"....you guys are very knowledgable on the subject....it's a shame time and space is wasted on the same old flaming that has become overly repetitive and quite frankly boring. I for one don't need to be constantly reminded of another members life/practices. That's not why I view this group. The reason I joined this group in the first place was that the other group never responded to any of my posts. Not sure why? Newbie? Who knows! It was nice to get a quick and informative response to my posts from you guys, I appreciate that and value the information. Enjoy your holiday and keep those carts playing! P.S. I'm looking into having the CR-80T worked on by a qualified tech in my area....it's a keeper and I don't think I'm up to the job of head alignment etc., |
