NIKKO STEREO CASSETTE DECK ND-790 METAL (1980)

Description

NIKKO STEREO CASSETTE DECK ND-790 METAL (1980)
Has some scuffs on top of the case, slight wear all over. All knobs, switches, feet are present. A spring came out of it -- it's in  plastic, inside the cassette tray.
The spindle turns when Play is selected, but the others don't work. So new belts probably needed.
As of today, July 31st, both the manual and replacement belts are available on eBay! This has got to be a rare occurrence.
Please examine the images closely.
Listing this as For Parts or Not Working because vintage electronics have a high component failure rate.
We'll be packaging it up very well, but the motions occurring in transit could be severe enough to jar something loose inside.
You could buy this thing, get it unpacked and it does not turn on or has other failure problems.
So
please note, all sales are final, no returns on this item and it's being sold as-is.
We are listing other vintage hi-fi units too so please take a look at our other auctions.
If the postage ends up less than what you paid, we will refund the difference.
Thanks for looking and good luck!
