Wtd: nice cassette deck - Nakamichi or similar

[RichB]

My sister is an unreformed tape head, she still loves playing her collection of 90s DJ mixes and dub. My niece also enjoys listening to her mums collection of children's storybook tapes on the old Sony deck they had.

I've been informed today the deck has broken, sounds serious as it's rewinding and forwarding instead of playing. Problem is we don't get to see each other often so instead of me trying to get round to take a look, does anybody have a nice working deck they'd be willing to move on. Budget £80-100 for something good.

I regret moving on the nakamichi cr3e I had now.

While tidying up a bit in the garage the other day I discovered a very nice cassette deck that I didn't even know I still had. It was well boxed and is in excellent cosmetic condition.

It's black and it is a Sony TC-K611S. The logo on the front says it has 3 heads and a 3 motors transport system. Obviously if you are interested I would have to check it's all working.

There seems to be quite a lot about it on the internet. I believe it was about £300 when I bought it. I'd sell it for £90 including courier delivery (probably Parcel Force as I trust them more than most).

Cheers Al, that's a generous offer and there'd be a beer in it for you at some point. Sure I'd cover p&p.

Drop me a message pls to let me know what it costs.

Hi Rich

I have a Nakamichi CR-5E that I am currently advertising at £295 plus postage on 'Hififorsale'

Regards David

Thanks for the offers guys, hilariously I got Al confused with someone else who may have got a shock when I only offered to send them the postage for the rather nice deck they were selling.

I apologise to them for any confusion. :lol::doh:
