Nakamichi made some pretty good (and expensive) components back in the day. They had a gold plated cassette deck for their 50th anniversary back in the early eighties...$5000. Sure was pretty...analog though. I kinda miss the days of giant amps, speakers, pre amps, turntables etc.
One tape direction, manual self auto-reversing cassette player
ReplyDeleteYep, it's an RX-202E. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's badass is what it is!
ReplyDeleteSide A-to-Side B Quick change. Presto-Change-o. Never saw one of those before.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was the robot from Wall-E, bugging his eyes out when he first sees that female 'bot.
ReplyDeleteHa! Could use that in my Jeep. Yup, it has a cassette player - and a AM/FM radio!
ReplyDeleteCassette player with mechanical reverse. I've got a Sony 5 cassette player that plays/records in both directions. Pretty cool stuff.

ReplyDeleteNakamichi cassette player with true auto-reverse. Promised better fidelity than decks that just flipped the heads to reverse direction.

ReplyDeleteYa sure can tell the old farts in here, they knew it was a cassette player...
ReplyDeleteI know what it is I just don't want to admit it.

ReplyDeleteKnow what it is? Hell, I own one! OK, maybe two (not counting the one in my car).
ReplyDeleteKnew it, would have loved one, but Akai was more in my price range at the time.
