VINTAGE NAKAMICHI RX-202 UNIDIRECTIONAL AUTO REVERSE CASSETTTE DECK TESTED WORKS

Description

OFFERED FOR SALE IS A VINTAGE NAKAMICHI RX-202 UNIDIRECTIONAL AUTO REVERSE CASSETTTE DECK.  THE ITEM WORKS.  I PLUGGED IT IN AND PUT A CASSETTE TAPE IN AND IT PLAYS, REWINDS, REVERSES, FAST FORWARDS AND EJECTS.  THE RED METER AND COUNTER WORK PROPERLY.
THE ONLY ISSUE I CAN SEE :  AT FIRST THE CASSETTE IN THE PLAY MODE STOPPED AFTER A FEW SECONDS.  HOWEVER, AFTER I TESTED IT FOR A WHILE, THE PLAY MODE SEEMED FINE AND THE TAPE KEPT PLAYING WITHOUT STOPPING.  MY GUESS IS IT NEEDS NEW BELTS AND LUBRICANT?
I DID NOT TRY EVERY FUNCTION LIKE RECORD, ETC.  I DID PLUG HEADPHONES IN AND IT SOUNDED GOOD.  THE DOLBY AND OTHER SOUND FUNCTIONS SEEM TO WORK.  THE HEADPHONE VOLUME WAS LOW, EVEN WHEN TURNED ALL THE WAY UP.  NOT SURE WHY.  OVERALL, THE ITEM IS IN AVERAGE TO GOOD CONDITION WITH MINOR WEAR.  THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES ON THE METAL TOP EDGE (SEE PICS).
THE CLEAR PLASTIC DOOR IS PRESENT.
WHEN A TAPE IS EJECTED AND THE DOOR OPENS, THE PLASTIC DOOR IS ABLE TO BE DETACHED.  I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE WAY IT WAS MADE OR NOT?  ESTIMATED AGE IS 1980'S.  ITEM MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 5.25 INCHES HIGH BY 17.5 INCHES WIDE BY 13 INCHES DEEP.  ITEM WEIGHS ABOUT 20 POUNDS.  A RARE FIND.  ITEM SOLD "AS IS."  ALL SALES FINAL.  OFFERED WITH NO RESERVE.
