Nakamichi ZX-9 3 heads, owned from new but rarely used now. Has previously been serviced, in excellent working condition. The ZX9 has manual calibration controls, including adjustable recording azimuth and bias, durable tape transport system with dual-capstan drive and discrete 3-head system One of the best audiophile cassette decks made. Makes master quality recordings from CDs and LPs, exceptional example of HI FI engineering ….. see following link for reviews: http://www.audioreview.com/product/other/tape-decks/nakamichi/zx-9.html The only issue is that the MPX filter switch is missing. This is unlikely to be used (only required for FM recording) but the adjacent switch can be borrowed to make a setting. As the facade is all black, it is hardly noticeable. Comes with original packing and manual, plus Nakamichis informative technical pamphlet given out in showrooms.
