Teac W-660 (circa 1987–1988)

Not much is documented about the Teac W-660. A retailer ad in HiFI-Stereo (July 1987, p.106) listed it at $289, alongside other TEAC and JVC decks of the period. The same ad gave "bi-directional record/play" as a feature. That suggests it could record and play in both directions without flipping the tape, which helps with casual copying and long listening.

Beyond that ad, the W-660 shows up only in other period retailer listings. No service manual or specification sheet has turned up to date. Its place in TEAC's mid-to-late 1980s cassette lineup is unclear. The "W" prefix likely means a twin-well (double cassette) dubbing deck, built for fast tape-to-tape copying rather than critical recording.

• Type: High-speed dubbing cassette deck
• Period price (advertised): $289 (1987)
