Kudo to the folks who packaged this awesome machine. don't even wanna think about all the times I've received these units wrapped in little more than newspaper - with horrible results. 2" solid styro is the way to go. The RS-1700 is a timeless piece of audio gear & goes well in vintage or modern stereo systems. Thanks for posting
@BarackMcBush - It plays music off magnetic reel tapes. For more information you can google ''reel-to-reel tape recorder'' and read what it is from wikipedia.
I love those Technics reel decks. The only problem is finding parts to fix it. Matsushita is notorious from dropping parts production. All Japanese companies (except for TEAC and Otari) are bad about this but Matsushita is the worst.
I never understood Technics rational behind adopting planned obsolescence as part of a business model. The entire RS R2R line which included the famous: 1500/1506/1520/1700/777/1800/10A02 are truly remarkable analogue recording devices. That it takes the average Joe many months, if not years to save paychecks to acquire and then stop producing spare parts is truly befuddling.
Jejeje. Por lo menos 1,800 obtendras uno de esos 1700. Dicen que no se encuentran cabesas para esos Por eso la gente Los venden. No como el 1506 o 1500
I would just like to say as one of the two guys who packaged that unit that we love the video. Glad to see that it went to a good home.

Poor dog waiting for a new chew toy from his master. Nice unit.
i went to their website and it looks that they only sell cameras and photography equipment...
Why would you use this instead of anything digital?
My childhood dream machine...!
No part 2,ah
@CRAKIZGOOD - Most of the time it's used for recording.
@smartguy9765 - Analog sound has a different feeling.
That's the weirdest unboxing I've ever seen. o.O I love it. :D That thing looks nice as hell.
How much did you pay for it?

! Analog is still the best
I'm soo jealous! You have a whole Lotta fidelity there in your hands! Hate the sound of that blade on the styrophone (spelled wrong)!
I always wanted one of those. I had to settle with a pioneer RT 909.
Good choice
