Description: For sale is a Tascam DA-P1 portable DAT recorder, with its OEM A/C adapter, a non-working battery and the manual. This is a neat device, allowing you to record and play back DAT tapes on the go. It has a lot of inputs and outputs, great for musicians looking to record a jam session. This device sat in storage for a long time before I dug it out recently. After replacing the worn-out belt, I did a basic playback test, and the transport played back multiple DAT tapes that had recorded audio through the headphones. Before posting, I also tested recording from an analog line-in source, and was able to record and play back the recorded audio. I didn't have the precise replacement belt, so I can't guarantee that the device will keep working; if you intend to use it extensively, I'd recommend purchasing and installing an exact replacement belt. Cosmetically, the device is worn. I removed most of the rubberized material that had become very sticky, but you will probably want to go at it with more isopropyl to get rid of the rest. I tried to avoid removing any of the labelling, but I did end up wearing some of it off in order to get off the sticky rubberized material. Please look at the photos to get an idea of the cosmetic condition of the device. I've included a video of the functionality as well, showing playback, transport working and recording. The battery is included, but it is dead. You will need to replace the cells in the battery with new ones in order to use it. I'm including it for the shell. The manual has quite a bit of handwriting and highlighting on it, and has some stains, but is still readable and usable. I'm selling this for parts/as is considering its condition and history. No returns will be accepted. I'll test it again right before shipping it out to you, and I'll wrap it in plastic so that the sticky parts don't stick to the packing materials. Thanks for looking!
