Description: Up for sale is my Pioneer CT-F950 Cassette Deck. This machine is from Pioneer's golden era of cassette machines. Now, this particular CT-F950 is not a garage sale special or some abused unit that's been sitting in storage for years collecting dust and getting rusty. This is my own personal unit that I bought brand new from Bill's Audio in Scottsdale, Arizona in the late 1970's/early 1980's.As you can see from the photos, it's been very well taken care of and always displayed inside my home, not in a garage or storage facility. I would rate the front of the unit almost perfect as you can see from the photos and I've highlighted a tiny ding in the bottom left corner and 2 small rub marks on the right side - see the close-up photos. The top has just 1 scratch on it that I can see (see photo) and the sides have just a few small scratches. The back of the machine looks fantastic, just like the front. Also check out all the detailed photos of the front - all the lettering is intact, and all the transport function lamps work as well as the fluoroscan meter segments and digital counter and the cassette well door light works as shown. The flip down door works perfectly and stays in the UP position if you choose to keep it up when a tape is inserted. I've always kept the heads, pinch rollers and capstans cleaned and demagnetized with a Nakamichi head demagnetizer.What's wrong with it? The usual, it needs belts and a service - this deck DOES NOT play a tape! I don't think I've used it since I was in college during the early 80's. I've only ever kept it displayed on my rack as it looks oh so cool and reminds me of that amazing ear when Pioneer made true quality products and also has some nostalgia factor for me. But, I feel it's time to let someone else enjoy it. Once serviced, it'll provide years of enjoyment. Truth is, I'm more focused on my reel to reel machines these days.So, it wouldn't take much to get this machine up to spec and when was the last time you saw a CT-F950 for sale in this kind of cosmetic condition from the original owner? I would love to see this Pioneer go to the next owner who will cherish it as much as I have.Finally, this CT-F950 has been displayed in a non-smoking, child free, pet free and cologne and perfume free home and is guaranteed to be free of any greasy fingerprints, strange odors or any other funk! It does NOT come with any manual, original box or any original accessories - just the deck itself! To recap, please read the description above - this machine needs a proper service to work correctly!Read my feedback and purchase with complete confidence - it will be properly packed to perfection. It is listed on other platforms so if you want it... don't hesitate!Shipped via USPS Ground Advantage within 3 days of cleared payment for a flat fee of $69.00. As you may know, it's big AND heavy!
