Found amongst my late father's beloved music equipment. This DAT machine powers on, the cassette tray opens (with a squeak) but the tape I used to test got the ribbon chewed up and stuck. I don't know how much of a job it is to repair but something is not quite right with it. great vintage piece of equipment. The Panasonic SV-3900 Professional DAT Deck is a high-quality digital audio tape recorder designed for professional audio recording and playback. With XLR audio outputs, this Panasonic model offers superior sound quality for a range of audio applications. Despite needing repair, this DAT deck still holds value for those looking to restore or repair a similar device in their collection.
