A very unique design that holds 6 cassettes at once. More info here: https://www.vintagecassette.com/pioneer/ct-m6r

I tested this deck for playback with a full 6 cassettes loaded, and it worked just fine. I also tested it for recording, again with success. It is a 2-head design. The recording level knob was scratchy, but after some DeOxit into the potentiometer, it works fine. I also sprayed the L/R balance pot as well for good measure.

Here are some pics:

It has a few cosmetic issues, but operates quite well. I examined the belt, and it looks to be in fine condition. This unit is from my dad's collection, likely purchased from a thrift store 15-20 years ago, and then stored on a shelf in his garage, from which I pulled it.

$125 plus shipping for Polkies with 100+ posts. I will be listing this unit on eBay as well in a day or two, but wanted to offer it up here first in case any tape-heads might want it.

    There are several examples of that image in the owner's manual, although the black/white is inverted.

    Eh...there's a watermark in the background due to the app I used to capture the screenshot, but you get the idea.
