Top Gerät, optisch und technisch einwandfrei. Läuft auch nach 44 Jahren in meinem Besitz wie ein Uhrwerk. In 2019 und 2025 fielen je eine Minimal Reparatur an, s. Rechnungen. Ich war und bin der einzige Besitzer dieser High End Ikone. Abzugeben mit Servicecard, Empfangsbestätigung, Bedienungsanleitung, original Nakamichi Schraubenzieher. Die technischen Infos hier aufzulisten erspare ich mir, diese sind dem Kenner hinlänglich bekannt. Es handelt sich um einen Privatverkauf d.h. das der Verkauf unter Ausschluss jeglicher Sachmängelhaftung erfolgt. Nur für Selbstabholer, Standort Berlin.
This is a fair-to-strong ask, not a bargain-basement score, but €1,495 is in the right zone for a clean 680ZX if it’s genuinely excellent. The model has long been regarded as one of Nakamichi’s better single-well decks, so price is mainly about condition and service history; at this level, a properly working example is what you want to pay for, not a project.
What makes it worth buying is the 680ZX’s reputation for serious tape handling, strong playback, and the kind of refinement that kept Nakamichi at the top of the cassette pile. If the listing includes recent servicing, stable transport behavior, and original accessories, that adds real value; if it’s simply “excellent” cosmetically but unverified mechanically, I’d still like proof of function before paying full ask.
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.
