Tandberg tape decks


Does anyone know them well? I have a question about the model 330.Who owns or used to own one?How does it sound?Compared to Nak decks?I heard that owners of 3014As and 3004s laugh at Dragon owners, but this Tandberg is not that advanced.I am thinking about buying one in,I hope,excellent condition.Would really appreciate your help.

I have both a 330 (with Rosewood side panels) and a 310 MKII. I have also owned Nak decks as well. I don't know that I would put the 330 in the same stratosphere as the Dragon, but I would put it up against anything else Nak produced. If your interested I might be willing to part with one of them. The 330 is in great shape, might need a tuneup considering it's age, and it hasn't seen much use of late. It's cosmetics are gorgeous. The 310 is working very well, only flaw is a cracked glass on a level meter. Email me in private if you would like to persue this further...
Never heard a Tandberg deck, but i always thought that they looked good on paper. One of my friends, who used to work on audio gear many, many moons ago, told me that they were very cheaply built and a pain to work on. I think the model that he had was a 3014 if i remember correctly. I never heard his unit when it was working as the damn thing was always breaking. Then again, maybe he was just a knucklehead and didn't know the "in's & out's" of setting this unit up properly. Sean

When I worked in the audio store in FL, we carried both Tandberg and Nak. The 3014 would bury the Dragon. A/B'd them for customers many times. Always came out the same.
