We would normally sell this restored unit for $ 395 but since we now have a second one we are restoring, we thought we would offer this one for auction.
This Nakamichi BX-1 is a stereo cassette deck with Dolby B noise reduction, it was first sold by Nakamichi with a recommended retail price of USD 9 (over $ 800 in todays money)
The main features of the Nakamichi BX-1 are: 2 heads, mechanical 3 digit tape counter and memory stop, manual tape type selection and capable of handling normal, chrome and metal tapes with additional manual equalization selection, belt driven single-capstan transport.
Typical front loading cassette deck with the cassette compartment located on the left side of the deck. Tape eject is operated mechanically and the cassette needs to be placed with the side to be played facing forward in the cassette well.
Level meters used on the BX-1 are digital LED peak reading meters. Full-logic transport controls used on the BX-1 let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection.
The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the BX-1 by as much as 10 dB at the highest frequencies. The 19kHz multiplex pilot slgnal present in FM stereo broadcasts can cause false triggering of the noise reduction system. The switchable MPX filter of the BX-1 filters out the pilot signal, and assuring proper Dolby processing of FM stereo programs.
For undisturbed listening a jack connector for a pair of stereo headphones is supplied. Connection to other audio components for playback can be achieved by a RCA cable and recording from a source by a RCA cable
BUYER EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT:
More important than having the best specs in the cassette world is simply reliability. Unless you have a $ 20,000
stereo
system, hearing any difference in this one vs a $ 500 cassette deck will be hard to notice.
You should always consider purchasing components that are commensurate with the rest of your system. Other words if you have a $ 1000 to $ 3000 system paying $ 500 for just a cassette deck is a waste of your money

We specialize in only a couple models like this one, so we know all the intricate details of the unit and how to make it perfect. We back our decks with a 60 day guarantee to operate like new.
About 25 Years ago was the height of Cassette Tape Technology, even in the late 1990's cassettes were still be sold in new cars.
WHY CASSETTES ? Like Vinyl records, they have a "niche"
1. A lot of people are still driving cars from the 1990's to the 2010 year that still had factory cassette decks and have no plans on changing.
2. Properly recorded, cassettes have a softer, more natural sound than CD and much better than MP3 cell phone streaming. This is assuming you have good speakers. Most systems suffer the most in speakers, especially in cars. For instance, even a stock car radio / cassette with a new set of high quality speakers and sub will make cassettes sound really good where you can easily hear their superior quality.
3. Many people have a library of cassettes and do not wish to buy it all over again on CD.
4. Many have special educational material on cassettes that is not available or very expensive to repurchase on CD.
5. Many people wish to record a favorite vinyl record or radio program on cassette to listen later in their car
6. OVERSEAS BIDDERS: This unit has the ebay global shipping program for low cost shipping in many countries.
