Nakamichi ZX-7

Classic 3 Head Desiǥn Cassette Deck

In nice condition. Original box and packing are not included. Manual can be found on line.

The second most coveted model to the infamous Dragon (and some like this
model better!) , the ZX-7 (1981-84) features Nakamichi Discrete Head
Technology in which record, play and erase heads are mechanically as
well as electrically independent. Mechanical independence reduces
crosstalk and allows each head to be contoured for smoothest response.
Of even more importance, the mechanically independent heads of the ZX7
can be adjusted individually for proper azimuth and allow the user to
read adjust record-head azimuth to correct for differences in tape path
from cassette to cassette.
