Nice Vintage Pioneer Centrex RH-65 Stereo 8 track player and recorder w/Dolby Noise Reduction. This model is the one to get out of all the Pioneer/Centrex 8 Track Players/Recorders as it’s got the highest output frequency of 15k Hz which matches the HR-100. It’s best to use Dolby on record but off during playback as it tends to cut out the high frequencies.

There is absolutely NO difference in the Pioneer or Pioneer/Centrex units. They’re identical in every aspect. They have the exact same parts and specs.

This unit is a 9 out of 10 in appearance due to some very light scratches on the silver faceplate however the black metal top looks really good and a 10 out of 10 electronically with one exception. The left meter is pegged out on play but works perfectly on record. See pictures or the best physical description.

Has been professionally serviced with brand new belts, tape head and all tracking metal parts demagnetized, all moving parts cleaned, lubricated and pots and switches cleaned with contact cleaner. Head has been adjusted for optimum playback and record. Plays and records very good. Everything works as it should except the left meter pegs out during play but works perfect on record??? All lights, pots and buttons are working as designed! This tape deck has the highest frequency output at 15K Hz and matches the Pioneer HR-100. You’ll get the crispest sound from your favorite 8 tracks!!!

I accept Paypal Only and only ship to the lower 48 States. NO PO BOXES!!! I ship FedEx Ground ONLY and do not use USPS. Payment is due within 48 hours after bidding has ended.

I've started the biding comparatively low and my intentions are to save as many of the Pioneer Tape Decks that I can. I’m currently working on a Pioneer H-R100’s which I will list soon...

Deck has normal wear for the plus 45 yrs it’s been used. As with ALL vintage electronic equipment this is being sold as-is with no return so make sure you want it before bidding. Once again this is AS-IS due to being a vintage piece of electronics. I have a 100% Satisfaction rating and want to keep it that way. If you do win this and have an issue, please let me resolve it before creating a case!!! You can be assured that this is a very nice 8 Track Player/Recorder! Good luck bidding and thank you for browsing.

This deck would make a great addition for anyone that wants to complete their Vintage Pioneer Stereo System.

NOTE. When the deck is not being used be sure to always leave it on Track One as this will take the pressure off of the coil spring that raises the head after it cycles through the channels. This will ensure that it will last for many years.
