The Nakamichi 1000zxl Limited gold face is a very good looking unit. I think you are going to have to find a very special buyer because most audiophiles I know are no longer into cassette tape players any longer. A collector might be interested but I have no idea what the limited market would be willing to pay? You can always put it up for auction. Sorry I never answered your question.
A little help please
I am new to the forum. This is my first posting. I dabble a bit in audio equipment, ( buying & selling ) mostly ebay and craigslist. However I recently attended a estate sale and purchased a piece of equipment, that I think requires more knowledge than I have. ( Nakamichi 1000zxl Limited gold face)
I bet that will make some ears stand up. The unit is cosmetically fantastic, sonically the left channel does not play. After research, I found, repairing the unit will cost between, $1500 & $2000. I am going to sell it, however repairing it is questionable for me, profit wise. Plus some buyers may want their own tech to do the repairs. After extinsive research, I have found, there was between 100 & 200 made worldwide. They were made to order and sold in 1981 for $6000.00. Ok here is the question. Value?
As I stated it is for sale. Being such a high end and rare unit, I feel it should command a fare price.
Thanks to everyone who responds
