Kassettdäck i ypperligt skick. Ett trasigt såldes på Tradera för 9.000:- för cirka ett halvår sedan. Mitt fullt fungerande är till salu för 8.000:- Endast avhämtning. Ring gärna 0707291132
This is a buyer’s market for a Nakamichi 680ZX at this asking level: kr 8,000 sits well below the recent comparable median of kr 14,478 and even under the kr 11,271 25th percentile, so it reads as a genuine bargain rather than a merely fair deal. For a deck of this stature, that’s a strong entry point if the condition is honest.
The 680ZX is one of Nakamichi’s respected three-head, dual-capstan cassette decks, prized for its smooth transport, off-tape monitoring, and serious playback/recording pedigree. If the unit is complete and serviced, the upside is real: these are desirable machines for both listening and restoration-minded collectors. At this price, the main thing to confirm is basic functionality and whether any maintenance work has already been done.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Nakamichi was founded in 1948 by Etsuro Nakamichi as a research institute in Tokyo, Japan, initially providing R&D services for major corporations and government entities before transitioning to consumer audio manufacturing under its own name beginning in 1972. The brand emerged from deep technical expertise in electromagnetism, magnetic recording, and acoustics, establishing itself as a pioneering force in Japanese audio engineering. Today, Nakamichi operates as a subsidiary of Chinese holding company Nimble Holdings, maintaining its heritage while expanding into contemporary audio categories.
The brand built its legendary reputation on cassette deck innovation, introducing the world's first three-head recording deck and the iconic Dragon series (1982), which featured bi-directional replay and automatic azimuth correction—innovations that remain highly sought after by collectors, with pristine examples commanding thousands of dollars on the secondary market. Beyond vintage cassette decks, Nakamichi's modern product portfolio encompasses home cinema audio systems, sound bars, speakers, headphones, mini hi-fi systems, automotive stereo products, and automotive lighting solutions, reflecting a diversification strategy that extends its audio expertise across multiple consumer segments.
Nakamichi occupies a distinctive position bridging vintage collectibility and contemporary consumer audio. The brand commands respect among audiophiles and hi-fi enthusiasts for its uncompromising engineering standards and Japanese precision, while simultaneously serving the automotive and mainstream home audio markets. Its legacy as an innovator in analog audio technology, combined with its evolution into modern product categories, positions Nakamichi as a heritage brand with credibility across both specialist and general consumer segments.
