Up for sale is a classic Nakmichi three head cassette deck. The LX-5 features a dual capstan transport and three heads (separate playback, record and erase heads), as well as Dolby B and C noise reduction.

This one is just back from service where it got cleaned and lubed, new belts, two motors replaced and the transport cleaned and demagnetized. Now plug and play ready.

It's in really nice shape with a few nicks and some lite scuffing, and one dimple in the top cover. Still very presentable overall.
