Teac V-2030-S (late 1990s)
Surviving information on the Teac V-2030-S is thin. The one solid record is HiFI-Stereo (March 1997, p.62), which ran the V-2030S in a comparison of MiniDisc against Dolby S cassette decks. That review calls it a three-head cassette deck with Dolby S noise reduction, priced at $650. Despite the "V-2030" name, this is a late-1990s cassette machine - not a reel-to-reel, and almost certainly not a 1970s model.
Past that review, the archive holds no service manual, brochure, or other period coverage for the model. There is no confirmed introduction date, no frequency-response figures, and no transport details. What the record does show is a short list:
- Cassette deck, three-head configuration
- Dolby S noise reduction
- Original price: $650
- Covered in HiFI-Stereo, March 1997 (p.62), in a MiniDisc vs. Dolby S comparison
If you have a brochure, manual, or measurements for the V-2030-S, this page could use them. Right now the whole known record rests on that one review.
