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

    @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.
