this is my ultimate dream deck. i am happy with the CT-W910R i currently have, but i nonetheless hope to soon step up to this baby...










PIONEER ELITE CT-91 (ELITEized version of CT-S800, IDENTICAL in every meaningful way)

I had one at one time, bought it broken. It is exceptionally heavy with a really nice transformer housing. It needed a set of new belts and probably more. Sold it broken for $125!

OH, MAN!!

for the record, there are at least two versions of both the CT-S800 and CT-91 out there. early versions with the longhand "Reference Cassette Deck" silkscreened on the door, and later versions without it. i am hoping to find myself an example of either the CT-S800 or CT-91 WITH that longhand legend in place. honestly, PIONEER's switch around 1989-ish from those beautiful legends to the inane "ELITE" logo for the U.S. line was one of the company's greatest mistakes, IMO...
