Teac R-888X (circa 1986–1987)
Little is documented about the Teac R-888X. What survives in the period record is mostly dealer advertising. A HiFI-Stereo (December 1986, p.178) ad described it as a three-head, auto-reverse stereo cassette deck with a three-motor transport. That fits Teac's higher-end decks of the mid-1980s. An Audio (November 1987, p.163) dealer ad still listed the R-888X the following year, with prices shown around $379 - $449. So it stayed on sale into late 1987.
No lab review, service manual, or manufacturer's literature for this model has surfaced in the archive. Performance figures and the exact production window remain unconfirmed.
