Kassettendeck
von Technics, Modell RS-M222.
Das Gerät ist voll funktionstüchtig.
Die braunen Flecken sind Klebereste eines Klebebands.
This is a fair-to-good ask, and at €145 it’s not a steal but it’s within the realistic used range for a clean, working example. Recent market activity puts similar RS-M222 decks roughly around €50–€95 in rougher or auction-style sales, with nicer, tested examples sometimes landing closer to €85–€140, so €145 in excellent condition is near the top end rather than cheap.
What makes it appealing is the format: a solid early-’80s Technics dual cassette deck with Dolby B and quick dubbing, the kind of uncomplicated, well-built box that scratches the vintage-hifi itch and is easy to live with if it’s been serviced properly. “Excellent” condition matters here, because belts, idlers, and transport behavior are the usual age-related questions on a deck like this; if the listing truly includes clean playback/recording on both wells and any original paperwork or covers, it’s a tidy buy for a collector or casual tape user.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Technics: Japanese Precision Engineering Since 1965
Technics emerged in 1965 as a premium audio brand established by Matsushita Electric, now known as Panasonic, with headquarters in Osaka, Japan. The brand name derives from the word "technology" and was originally conceived to showcase Matsushita's high-end audio capabilities. The company's founding philosophy centered on rigorous acoustic research and engineering excellence rather than relying solely on subjective listening impressions. This commitment to scientific methodology became the cornerstone of Technics' identity and product development approach.
The brand built its reputation across a comprehensive range of audio equipment, including turntables, amplifiers, loudspeakers, CD players, tape recorders, and digital pianos. Technics achieved international prominence through its revolutionary direct-drive turntables, beginning with the SP-10 professional model in 1969 and the consumer-focused SL-1100 in 1971. The iconic SL-1200 series, introduced in 1972, fundamentally transformed DJ culture and remains highly coveted by both professional DJs and audiophiles. These turntables set new industry standards for precision engineering and reliability.
Technics occupies a distinctive position as a high-end heritage brand with particular strength in the turntable segment. While the company largely withdrew from consumer markets in the early 2000s, the brand has maintained prestige among serious audio enthusiasts and collectors. Today, Technics represents a bridge between vintage audio collecting and contemporary hi-fi, with its products commanding respect for their build quality, sonic performance, and historical significance in audio culture.
