Description from the seller
Nakamichi RX-202E unidirectional auto-reverse cassette deck
Made in Japan
The Nakamichi RX-202E is an iconic and legendary two-head auto-reverse cassette deck, famous for its spectacular and unique mechanical tape reversal system. The letter 'E' in the model name stands for the European version (suitable for 220V/240V).
Traditional auto-reverse cassette decks spin the tape head or switch between different tracks. Nakamichi found that this led to a loss of quality due to misalignment (azimuth) of the heads.
The Nakamichi solution was the unique UDAR system (Uni-Directional Auto Reverse).
• When the end of the tape is reached, the cassette holder slides forward
• A mechanical arm physically rotates the cassette tape 180 degrees
• The holder retracts and the deck plays the other side
* All of this happens extremely fast, within 2 seconds
Today the RX-202E is a highly sought-after collectible
The RX-202E is sought after as a collector's item because of the visual spectacle of the reversal mechanism
The heads have been cleaned and demagnetized
Some of the many features: Dolby B, C, MPX filter, digital tape counter with memory function, automatic tape selection, auto-record standby, and a variable output
The fast forward and rewind operate smoothly, quickly, and quietly; all functions work as they should
Visually in good condition, with a few clearly noticeable signs of use here and there (scratches on the power switch and along the top edge) Please see the photos!
The translucent plastic tape cover has been repaired once at the bottom (not visible)
Please study the detailed photos carefully; they are part of the description of the item

The cassette deck is professionally packed with the utmost care and shipped insured with tracking.
