Description from the seller

A beautiful Yamaha TC-520 cassette deck from the period 1978–1980.
This model comes from Yamaha's beloved "Natural Sound" series and represents the era when cassette equipment was built with a focus on durability, ease of use, and high-quality sound reproduction.
The TC-520 features a solid build, aluminum front panel, analog VU meters, and a classic wood-look enclosure, and it offers a 2-head mechanism, Dolby B noise reduction, bias adjustment, and support for chrome and ferrichrome cassettes.
Thanks to the precisely electronically controlled DC motor and low wow and flutter, this deck delivers a stable and pleasing playback of your cassette collection.

Vintage audio collectors value this model not only for its performance but also for its timeless appearance.
On various vintage-audio forums, the TC-520 is regularly cited as a fine example of Yamaha's classic design philosophy, with the characteristic silver front plate, large control knobs, and atmospheric illuminated meters.
