    Description

    This Nakamichi CR-1A is a stereo cassette deck with Dolby B and C noise reduction, it was first sold by Nakamichi in 1988 with a recommended retail price of USD 5 and discontinued 2 years later in 1990.
    All heads, rollers, cleaned and demagnetized.  Amazing unit, one of the last solid built (Heavy) 2 - head decks at the end of the era.  These are a rare deck and highly sought after by audiophiles around the world due to their amazing sound and reproduction.  As seen in many of the pictures, there are only a few minor light nicks / scratches on the top rear section but not really noticeable. but nothing that will affect the beauty of this amazing sounding unit.  This is truly a beautiful unit mechanically & cosmetically in amazing shape for the age. The unit plays, RW & FF perfectly and records nicely with amazing detail.  The unit is pushing a little over 30 years old and with any older systems I need to sell them as-is, but this unit is in excellent mechanical condition and sounds amazing.
