TEAC W-1200 Dual Cassette Deck, Black (Silver at the same price)
The W-1200 is the only consumer-branded cassette deck still made new with two recording decks, one-touch dubbing, a USB output for digitizing tapes and a remote. It is a 2-head, normal-speed design, so it plays and copies tapes cleanly but is not an audiophile recorder.

Who it's for
Buyers who want a new, warrantied home deck to play, copy and digitize cassettes, or to record mixes, karaoke or meeting audio with a mic.
Caveats
- Rated wow and flutter is 0.25% W.RMS; bench tests of this mechanism range from 0.085% to 0.52%, so pitch is less stable than a serviced 3-head vintage deck.
- Noise reduction works only on playback, so recordings you make are not Dolby-encoded.
- No auto-reverse, no high-speed dubbing, no recording on metal (Type IV) tape, and the pitch control works only on deck 1 during playback.
- Timer recording needs a separate outlet timer.
- TEAC USA ships to the lower 48 states only.
