This is a High End Audiophile Grade deck from the early 90s and I have owned it since not long after it was new. However, for years during house builds, it ended up in storage and therefore hasn't seen a lot of use. Rudimentary tests have been completed which show the unit to be 'on-spec' and fully functional. The head is glass of course and therefore has no wear and the display is bright and as new. Rotary controls also are in perfect shape. Mechanical checks have established there are no issues with belts, rollers, takeup and so on. Physically the unit shows minor surface scatches here and there on the metal case but there are no real dents or appreciable marks evident. The Specs for this unit are as follows:

I would say that anyone looking for a 'Top of the Line' cassette deck, this Denon model would be extremely hard if not impossible to beat and this unit is an excellent example.
