Functional Nikko NCD 150 CD Player,everything works, though cd drawer is sometimes lazy to open...No Remote Control...Rubs and scratches on casing, could use a good cleaning...please check pictures...
The Nikko NCD-150 is a fairly niche vintage CD player, and US$63 looks reasonable to slightly good if it’s clean and fully working. I can’t pin down a strong model-specific market spread from the available data, so this sits more in the “fair used buy” zone than a clear bargain, but it is not an ambitious ask for an older Japanese deck.
What makes it worth a look is the chance to get a solid, no-frills CD spinner from the era when Nikko was still building proper hi-fi separates. If it powers up promptly, reads discs quickly, and the tray is smooth and quiet, that’s the key upside; original remote, manual, and a tidy cosmetic condition would all strengthen the value. The main thing to verify is reliable disc reading, since age-related laser and transport issues are the usual watchouts on players like this.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Nikko Audio emerged from Nikko Electric Industry Co., founded in 1933 in Kanagawa, Japan, initially as a manufacturer of fuses and electrical equipment for the national railroad. Post-World War II, the company expanded into communications technology, entering the hi-fi market in the late 1960s through the influence of an audiophile family member with exceptional hearing. This Japanese heritage fueled a brief but notable run of precision-engineered audio components before the brand shuttered its audio division amid the 1990s market downturn.
The brand focused primarily on amplifiers, producing standout series like the Alpha line of power amps from the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the high-end TRM series, including the 1975 TRM-800 integrated stereo amplifier with its robust 65 watts per channel output, NEC power transistors, and stability down to 4 ohms. Tuners such as the FAM-600 and compact hi-fi gear rounded out their compact-form-factor offerings, emphasizing clean circuit design and no-frills power over expansive categories like speakers, turntables, or modern digital components.
Today, Nikko holds a cherished position among vintage collectors, prized for its build quality and dynamic sound that rivals contemporaries from more prominent Japanese marques. Though limited in distribution during its era, these components endure as attainable high-fidelity treasures, evoking the golden age of Japanese amplification engineering.
