    Dual 839 from 1980 with round "retro" LEDs, priced at $850 USD I'd put this the high end catagory.

    Tandberg TCD 440A from 1980, priced at $1600 USD according to cassettedeck.org, one of the elite decks. Kind of an interesting ad, I wonder how one went about shopping for one of the high-end decks back then? I never saw a Nakamichi for sale back in my little home town but they definately had the best name recognition for high-end decks.

    Harman/Kardon HK3500 from 1979, the tape door is an interesting design, not sure if I like it?

    Eumig from 1979, priced at $1300 USD, this was in the high-end, anybody seen one of these? It doesn't look that large, I wonder what type of switches those are?

    Similar to the Pioneer above, the CT-F1000 from 1977, the ad is from the Japan Times, this has to be one of the best looking decks for that year.
