Nakamichi RX-505 auto-reverse cassette recorder/player

This is probably the third best cassette recorder ever made. It is in 3rd place behind the DRAGON & CR-7. All three were made by THE NAKAMICHI COMPANY. This RX-505 has the famous flip cassette compartment and it's the top-of-the-line in the RX series for Nakamichi. In this video I'm using a TDK Metal tape. The RX-505 had a retail price of $1549.00 and was made from 1984 to 1993.

Really wasn't expecting it to actually flip the tape over.

My old stereo system had the auto reverse function but it was done without flipping the tape over.

This is a really brilliant machine. And I was wondering do you know what that song is called?

Wow! When it turns the cassette over-IT REALLY DOES TURN THE CASSETTE OVER! That's neat!

I have the Technics 9900 and it is pretty bad but I have to agree the 505 is great!

[theaquaboss]

[joohop]

nice but i bet its a BASTARD 2 repair !!!!

[Mustelator]

Santo dios, he visto pletinas buenas como Technics, Denon, Yamaha... pero esta se lleva la palma! Tiene hasta un calibrador especial.

¡¡REALMENTE BUENA!!

I did'nt expect the tape to reverse as quickly as that!!!

i really want one of these famous cassette decks one i have isnt really as good as this its an old NAD 6140 but i have to say its 30 years old and had some use over the years n still works like a tank, also had a few more modern Denon cassette with loads of features but the sound quality of the NAD surpassed them. Dont listen to tapes all that much nowadays but nice to have 1 though.

Got mine when I was over-seas in the USAF and still going strong over 20 years later!
