The deck I wanted to get when I was a young boy. Cost a bit more than I could afford, so I got the little brother, RS-631, with normal VU meters and without bias fine adjust. But got one rather recently for my collection.
The transport is solid (from my experience with RS-631). It survived my urge to do surgery to it and 3 or 4 total strip-downs and re-assemblies. The sound quality is typical for a two head deck. A three head deck will record much better but this one reproduced these cassettes decently. The lack of Dolby C makes it a museum item rather than a deck one would keep in rotation.
It was the first deck from Technics to sport the VF bar vu-meters. They look just gorgeous.
