TANDBERG 3014, 4 Motor, 3 Head Stereo Cassette Deck - One of the Best Ever

The formidable Tandberg 3014 is often called the 'Norwegian Dragon' since it performs at or even better by some experts than the famous Nakamichi Dragon.  With 4 individual motors, microprocessor controlled circuitry and equalization running over 3 heads with full bias and voltage adjustments from the front panel it's designed to record and playback compact cassettes at the highest quality level possible.  No expense was spared to go for the world best deck title.

We bench tested this unit and it plays beautifully. It came from an audio collector and he did service all of his gear regularly.  No other history is known on this unit.
