RE: Nakamichi cassette decks

Brian, looks to be an outstanding score.

I owned several cassette decks through the years - a couple of HKs, a Tandberg 310, a Nak 480, an Aiwa 770, and a Pioneer CT-S800. As you can see, none of these were top end models, although the Pioneer has the same specs as their Elite model. Both the Tandberg and Nak were big disappointments and I suspect were built to a low price point just to take advantage of their brand names.

But the Pioneer has been a wonderful deck, both for sonics and features in use, as was the Aiwa. I'll admit mine still does not have too many hours and has only be played maybe 3-4 hours in the past 10 years. But for the little I could sell it for I simply hang on to it.

Should it ever fail I would be very happy to find a bargain such as yours to be able to continue playing my cassette collection, however few times that might be. I assume any of the three head Naks would be desirable.
