NAKAMICHI 580M STEREO CASSETTE DECK SERIAL NUMBER A303-01041
PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT BY WILLY HERMANN SERVICES TOP NOTCH OPERATIONAL CONDITION
SUPERIOR ANALOG REPRODUCTION FOR THE CASSETTE MEDIUM
This 580M was rebuilt by Willy Herman Services and is in top operational condition. This generation of Nak decks incorporate a clearer discrete signal path with less implementation of integrated circuits. IME this produces a warmer more desirable sound throughout the entire frequency range. You would not be disappointed.
The 580M is the later revision to the 580 and was only offered for about a year to accommodate Metal particle tape recording. This particular deck has astonishing clarity with an amazing high frequency response to 22K Hz.
Cassette decks are very complicated machines that often require professional service. Even if you have a sealed unit that is 30 years old it will more than likely have issues as the rubber components degrade and lubricants dry up even when not in use. Imagine how a used 30 to 40 year old machine that has not been properly serviced will perform. Turning on a deck and playing a tape for 10 minutes is not enough to correctly access these machines. If you are serious about cassette reproduction it is essential to acquire a deck that has been properly serviced and tested. Avoid the risk of failure and disappointment when you are searching for that special machine.
