Pioneer
CT-1000
Big
piece - specs-wise well behind the later CT-F1250
or CT-A9 but the 1000 looked straightforwardly good. And for the
times, it was up to what was possible with the Compact Cassette
format - not really compact anymore.
Three Ferrite heads, one motor for fast FW/RW and another for the
main REC/Play function, closed-loop dual capstan, relay-activated tape movements, automatic
Chrome tape detection, built-in 400Hz oscillator, MPX filter, Dolby
calibration, ±6% pitch control etc.
The motor is common to
the CT-F1000, CT-F9090 and CT-F8080 models.
CT-1000 is the original name (above, from a japanese 1977 catalog), CT-F1000 is the worldwide export name. You can see a front view of the motor at Mr Nisi's. |
