Buying notes
Early Nakamichi three-head from the mid-1970s. One of the earlier professional-grade cassette decks. Head condition on a 1974-1977 example may be significantly worn. Request a recording and verify channel balance and high-frequency response. Full service by a Nakamichi specialist is advisable. Parts availability is more limited than for later models.
