Salut - I'm trying to win an auction with a vintage D-1000 100V with some defects that should be repairable. Spare parts seem to be available. So far so good. My main concern is that I cannot find a manual anywhere. Does anyone know where to get hold on this? Also I'd like to know if any of you knows a bit about the recorder? Is it as good as its reputation...?? The auction is on the German ebay (ebay.de) and will end on Friday. Merci bien. Jean Baptiste
Hi Jean,
You should read the description again. The seller has just updated the listing admitting that there are more problems than just the faulty switch (why am I not surprised?). And it's not quite mint...
I bought a D-1000 with similar faults back in December and ended up spending around 500eur on the repair so you should be in the same ballpark, maybe a bit more.
Everyone thinks it shares everything with the 1000ES so you could easily find donor parts but it's just the mechanical base they share and not the loading part. And the transport is a 4 motor direct drive so there are no belts to spin the tape like the seller says.
Hope this helps,
B
