Everything can't be making a Comeback now can it? My Nakamichi Amplifiers have doubled in price in the past year or so. Roger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmi Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I have a cassette deck in my system (Yamaha) because my 87 Vette has a cassette player in it. I keep telling myself I'm going to make some road trip tapes, but it isn't as fun as it was when I was a teenager. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just for the sake of memories, I'd love to get my Yamaha K-1020 back up and running again. I've got enough NOS tape to keep me occupied for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
