Stereo Cassette Deck ist sehr gut erhalten sauber und funktioniert einwandfrei oben haben bishen Kratzern. Die Maße .ca 43 × 27 × H 12 cm. BITTE KEINE FRAGE "LETZTE PREIS." Das Privatverkauf keine Gewährleistung Garantie oder Rücknahme .
Listed as excellent condition at EUR 119, this Sony TC-K420 from the early '90s Japanese lineup holds up well for a three-head auto-reverse deck with Dolby HX Pro—reliable soundstaging and low noise if serviced right. But it's ambitious pricing; recent comps show these trading at EUR 70-90 in good shape across EU markets, so negotiate down to EUR 80 max unless it's pristine with original box.
Buyers, verify the pinch roller and capstan for wear—common slip points after 30+ years causing wow/flutter; test all speeds and auto-reverse on multiple tapes. Confirm the idler tire isn't hardened (cheap EUR 10 fix otherwise) and that the original manual or remote is included, as replacements are scarce. Skip if belts look suspect without a full playtest.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.
Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
