For those who always dreamed of owning a Nakamichi


Nakamichi Retro Jukebox Bluetooth Speaker (woot.com)

And to think they used to be just some little tape deck company.

You've come a long way baby!

Nak's downfall was getting into the "Life Style" section of crap.  I was a dealer for a long time.  It was very sad to see this happen.

Once a great company...

I'm wondering if Nakamichi is still in business or if this is just someone who bought rights to use the name, like those outdoor lights with the Bell & Howell name they always advertise on TV.  

I spoke before I even went to their website, but now I did, and it looks like their glory days are long over. The only product that they offer is a crappy surround system.

There is the market for well recognized names. Bell & Howell is a great example. I laughed really hard at that one. Also, the Japanese company I worked for Sharp Corp. was purchased in part for the Sharp name by the Chinese company Hanhai.
