Nakamichi CR-4a Cassette deck in beautiful condition.

A few light marks on the outside. The photos show more light reflections than actual marks. Top of the case has a little rack rash.

Unit operates PERFECTLY. Unit was cleaned inside and out. All controls cleaned with either DeOxit D5 or F5.

Check out video. Check photos for condition. As with all vintage audio, sale is as is.

Only selling this absolute gem because everything else I have is silver from the 70s. Took me a month to post it because I do not want to get rid of it. Hoping to sell it to someone who loves it the way I do!
