(11/1) Tape Deck Update

First update regarding my tape deck since September — after the motherboard on my Pioneer deck got fried back in May 2025, I finally managed to find someone willing and able to repair this rare machine. It was professionally serviced in September, and since then, every major component has been replaced or restored — including the belts, internal mechanisms, and other key parts.

Once I get the deck back, it should be running better than it ever did before, essentially like a brand-new unit. I’m estimating it’ll be ready to go by December 1st, just in time to start doing new tape rips again.
