Pros & Cons
Pros
Deck has a fine tune adjustment knob that allows you to adjust the pitch of the playback. Usb port on the back of this deck populates itself on your pc as an audio codec. Using for digitizing existing tapes and creating cds.
The * are snappy, and the small screen on the front displays real audio meters. The screen also sports a dolby logo near the meters (even though this deck doesn't have dolby) so it's likely that the screen is repurposed from an older deck.
A little pricey but so far so good. The build quality is also really nice. Good investment, tascam is a very high rep brand, and still apparently is. A zealand zealand.
The tanashin mechanism is simple and easy to service in the future if the belt ever need replacing. Bottom line is this deck gets the job done.
Cons
These problems are completely inexcusable at this price point. Thank heavens for amazon's return policy, and the convenience of the kohl's drop off.

Competitiveness
Good investment, tascam is a very high rep brand, and still apparently is.
Comparing it to high end tape decks from the 80s and 90s is ridiculous in my opinion.

Having used a handheld cassette recorders for digitalising a collection of tapes and realising that it was cheaply produce and would not last the 300 hours that lay before it lasted about 3 before it would cut out when recording and you had to hold it’s hand to make sure it would work i closed my eyes at the price when i purchased the tascam 202 mkviion amazon i had an unfavourable exchange rate plus freight plus a 15 tax add to the cost so us499

This deck has a fine tune adjustment knob that allows you to adjust the pitch of the playback this is priceless for those old tapes that were recorded on a low battery and had a bit of helium going on with the voices

Also for those who hate hooking audio stuff up the usb port on the back of this deck populates itself on your pc windows 10 64bit works too even though they disclaimer only windows 32 bit as an audio codec what that means is if you have mp3 recording software the deck can be selected as a recording device in place of the microphone

My situation was slightly different than most people who are looking for a way to convert tapes to modern digital format
