VINTAGE TEAC A-4010S REEL-TO-REEL

 ✨ Condition: Excellent – Fully tested and serviced, solid transport, clear playback

The TEAC A-4010S is one of the most iconic consumer reel-to-reel decks from the golden age of tape — praised for its reliability, warm analog sound, and user-friendly design. With two motors, two heads, and belt-driven transport, it’s perfect for music lovers who appreciate classic tape tone without the complexity of pro machines.

Originally introduced in the late 1960s, this machine became a home studio favorite thanks to its smooth tape handling, generous output level controls, and compatibility with 7” reels. The teak-wood side panels and brushed aluminum faceplate give it a timeless look that fits beautifully in any vintage setup.

This unit has been fully serviced and tested, with strong playback, working counter, and all lamps functional. It’s ready to spin your favorite reel tapes — and backed by a 1-Year Warranty from HQaudios.

Condition:

This RTR is in “Excellent” condition. Although the manual is missing, it can be found online or we can provide a PDF upon request. Please inspect all photos thoroughly for the actual condition.

Service:

Upon inspection, the unit had scratchy controls, a dim dial, and some distortion in one channel. Therefore, it underwent servicing by our technician. Manufacturer used certain transistors in this model that are known to fail after 40 years, so all of these were replaced. This upgrade resolved the distortion issue.

Testing:

After servicing, the RTR was tested on our bench and performed excellently, delivering a powerful, warm, distortion-free signal characteristic of analog RTR. All inputs, outputs, and features were confirmed operational, and the tuner spins smoothly. Additional testing was conducted, and we can provide specific feature information upon request. This is a remarkable find for the vintage audiophile.
