    Description

    Up for sale is one of two identical K-720 cassette decks. This 2nd one was bought a few months ago,
    I had it fully checked, drive belt replaced, heads and capstans cleaned, full function tests.
    Everything works perfectly. This was one the best cassette decks ever made, was next to top in line for Yamaha.
    It is a single deck, 2 head, auto reverse with Dolby B,C,HXpro and DBX.
    The buttons are electronic, therefore no wear and tear and it has a real time counter.
    It's sonic virtues are as good as it gets. I have recorded CDs on metal tape with DBX
    and the sound is the same as the CD.
    This deck is loaded with features and is a joy to use. The best thing about this deck is the all gear driven transport
    used for the fast winds. The tape transport is very well made and should provide years of reliable service.
    The capstan belt is brand new. The overall cosmetic condition is very good.
    The deck also has programmable music skip, digital linear tape counter and selectable reverse mode.
    The deck will be professionally packaged and shipped insured. You are guaranteed a quality working product upon arrival. Thanks for looking!
    This Yamaha K-720 is a auto-reverse stereo cassette deck with Dolby B/C and HX-Pro and DBX noise reduction, it was first sold by Yamaha in 1985
    with a manufacturer suggested retail price of USD 9 and discontinued 3 years later in 1988.
    The main features of the Yamaha K-720 are: 2 heads, digital linear tape counter with 3 digits, automatic tape type selection
    and capable of handling normal, chrome and metal tapes, belt driven auto reverse transport.
    Full-logic transport controls used on the K-720 let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection.
    Dolby C-type used in the K-720 provides 20 dB of noise reduction above about 1,000 Hz, fully doubling the amount given by B-type.
    The Dolby HX PRO system provides precise bias control during recording to reduce distortion and improve linearity
    in the high-frequency range, the result is recorded sound that is highly faithful to the original.
    To make live recordings this deck has 2 microphone inputs to connect microphones with a jack connector.
    For undisturbed listening a stereo headphone jack is supplied.
    Connection to other audio components for playback can be achieved by a RCA cable and recording from a source by a RCA cable.
