JVC - KD-65 Audio-cassette deck

Beautiful Vintage JVC KD-65 Stereo Cassette Deck – High-End 1970s Design
Offered: an iconic piece of audio history from the golden age of hi-fi: the JVC KD-65. This cassette deck, produced around 1978/1979, is known for its rugged build quality and the beautiful appearance with the distinctive large, illuminated VU meters.
This deck was a top performer in its time thanks to the innovative SEN-Alloy heads, which combine ferrite durability with the superior sound quality of permalloy. The unique "Spectro Peak Indicator" (the 5 LED lights between the VU meters) gives this unit a brilliant vintage look in a dark listening room.
Condition of the unit:
* Exterior: In very neat condition with minimal signs of use for its age. The brushed aluminum front panel shines beautifully and all lettering is sharp.
* Technical: Fully functional. Rewinds powerfully, plays at the correct speed, and the recording quality is excellent. (If recently serviced: equipped with new belts and heads cleaned/demagnetized).
A rare opportunity for the vintage audio collector to secure one of the most sought-after JVC models.
