VINTAGE NAKAMICHI LX-3 CASSETTE DECK

Description

VINTAGE NAKAMICHI LX-3 CASSETTE DECK, in excellent unrestored condition.  All functions have been tested, sounds good and records well.
The case is in excellent condition as shown, no obvious wear.  The previous owners name is lightly etched into the back panel, it is blocked out in the photo as shown.
One issue, there is a faint ticking sound coming from the tape drive when the unit is playing or recording.  The noise is not coming through the speakers, it is a mechanical sound coming from the unit.
