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 recalibrated. Recording and playback very good. A very nice vintage unit, built as if it should last forever. You can’t say that about the devices that are on the market today.
