Nikko ND-390B cassette deck, serial F35 5529, manufactured in 1980, weighs 4.7 kg, in very good physical condition and tested and functional.
Description from the seller
Description
The ND-390 uses new and advanced metal tapes, meaning a wider dynamic range and clean reproduction of high-frequency transients.
Nikko technology has also developed a new hard permalloy head, which highlights the best qualities of all tapes. The high maximum magnetic flux density and permeability of this particular alloy ensure low noise and low distortion recordings.
Maximum performance from the tape you use is assured by the separately-designed bias and equalizer. The unit also incorporates two large VU meters, cue/review, and an output level control.

The item has been tested and is working great. It is in very good condition, showing minor signs of use and wear. You may notice small imperfections, minor wear on the plastic and metal parts, and subtle signs of age. These are minimal and do not detract from the overall appearance and functionality of the item. Preventive corpus cleaning has been performed, and the rubber belts have been replaced with new ones. The mechanism has been cleaned.
I describe to the best of my knowledge and belief. Since this is a private sale, I do not provide any warranty and do not offer a right of return—consider this before bidding!
