pat_in_dfw Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I ran across a few items in an estate sale - all new in the box. Not sure why the guy who owned these bought them and never used them. I have no personal use for them myself, but I might get them anyway to sell. Before I put them on eBay, would anyone here have any interest? Akai GX-747 with DC-635 dust cover Nakamichi Dragon auto reverse cassette deck Nakamichi TX-1000 turntable Nakamichi VS-100 vacuum stabalizer Nakamichi PA-5 amp Any interest?

pat_in_dfw Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Pics attached to this message. What I'm asking is what they're worth. That will let me know how much I'll offer the estate. Yes it's a Nakamichi vacuum stabilizer. Plus there is a Yamaha amp and preamp combo and the PA5 amp along with the Akai reel to reel deck.

Seadog Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) pat in DFW. I assume you are in the DFW area? The PA-5 is a nice sounding SS amp. Edited January 4, 2016 by Seadog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldred Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) You can't even imagine what the TX-1000 is worth...If it is new like you say it will make your year. It's like finding ...the lost ark G.E.M. Edited January 4, 2016 by oldred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_in_dfw Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Wow - that's a heavy turntable. It's an auction and right now the turntable is going for $750 - not sure how high I want to push it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see how much a power supply is up for on eBay? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nakamichi-TX-1000-Turntable-Power-supply-Selling-Nakamichi-TX-1000-POWER-SUPPLY-/141856704489?hash=item21075187e9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with oldred....Seriously, if you need to push it to $2K or more..... http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue33/tx1000.htm Would be very interested to find out from you the final results on these items.

oldred Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) DO NOT just settle for a small amount.......What you have is the rarest of rare turntables which also happens to be quite sought after. Let it ride for a while...i do not know how much you have invested but you could sell everything else it will still not make what the turntable is worth. It's out of my league G.E.M.

pat_in_dfw Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 I wish I could have pushed it further, but at $1500 I had to stop. A couple of other people were still pushing it up so I'll see where it ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have seen plenty of Vintage Audio equipment going for as much as 10x the original price in excellent condition...def worth more if you have the cash, and the time to find the right buyer. Don't forget there is a resurgence in vinyl right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
