    Harman Kardon always seem to get good grades but I've never seen one in person, from 1979. The top unit really looks nice.

    Picked up the hk2500 many years ago and I just had it recently serviced.

    @Mister X: Going back to your ad for the Marantz 5030B, I hung onto my 5010, then had the tech go through it:

    Nando, did you do anything cassette related for work?

    I'm just combing through 1000's of online magazines and Pinterest/Twitter once in awhile finding the nicer looking equipment and then BOOM, you have it! I never really found anything too nice in the gravy days when everyone was tossing equipment like crazy but I have a handful of NAKs, I guess that was the main high-end units in my area.

    I, only, have a passion for cassette decks. I've bought and sold a number of them in the past ten years. or so.

    Just a few from your photos..... I know the bug I think there's around 200 in my office alone, here I have Walkmans and mini-boomboxes, the big ones take up a ton of space.

    Marantz SD 9000

    I bought one in non-working condition last October and the technician got it going without too much fuss - even though it was his first 2-speed cassette deck he had ever worked on.

    One of the best looking mini decks, the Toshiba Aurex PCD10 from 1981. Hi-Fi Choice gives it a best buy recommendation due to it's low price point.

    I'm digging this AIWA AD-M800U from 1981, I always loved AIWA's tiny buttons on their portables, this looks like it also has quite a few.

    A cool 1981 entry from Kenwood, check out the head cover, the Kenwood KX-2060.

    Cybernet from 1982, this looks like an interesting rack style system, I've never seen one before, anybody have one?
