Marantz - SD3000 Audio-cassette deck

This cassette player was very recently fully serviced. Internally and externally cleaned, and where necessary degraded parts replaced. The mechanism was lubricated and re-adjusted. Recording and playback are very good. A very nice vintage unit, built as if it were meant to last forever. You can’t say that about the devices that are on the market today.
