Nakamichi RX-505 Unidirectional Auto Reverse Cassette Deck

A Nakamichi RX-505 in great cosmetic and working condition. The Nakamichi RX-505 is a auto-reverse stereo cassette deck with Dolby B and C noise reduction and unique Auto-Reverse (UDAR) mechanism. This is one of the rarest and most sought after tape decks from the 1980’s featuring a unique mechanical auto reverse system. In order to auto reverse/change the side of the tape being played, the entire tape actually FLIPS around while the heads and mechanism stay in place! Nakamichi argue this is the most exacting way to reverse a tape since the heads were locked in place.

The main technical features of the Nakamichi RX-505 are: 3 discrete heads and off-tape monitoring, digital tape counter with 4 digits and memory stop, manual tape type selection capable of handling normal, chrome and metal tapes with additional manual equalization selection, belt driven dual-capstan transport.
