NAD 6130 Cassette Deck

A real classic from the mid-eighties is this the NAD 6130 Cassette Deck. It is in good cosmetic condition with a few marks etc – please see photographs – but after a thorough clean to the transport mechanism and the fitment of a new capstan belt it was still found to have a relatively high wow and flutter measurement of around 0.3%. It is supplied in original box with no warranty and therefore is being sold as seen and is priced accordingly.
NAD Said….
Most of the cost of an NAD tape deck is inside, where you can’t see it – in the precision and consistently low flutter of the transport mechanism, in a low-noise playback pre­amplifier and high-headroom recording circuit, premium-quality ICs for precise Dolby Noise Reduction tracking, and superior heads with long life and wide dynamic range.
The NAD 6130 is unique: a no-frills budget deck that has the low flutter, high reliability, accurate frequency response, quiet electronics, and wide dynamic range normally found only in high-priced recorders. The 6130 includes Dolby B-type
Noise­ Reduction (for optimum compatibility with pre-recorded tapes and with car or portable players), plus Dolby C-type NR for maximum quieting.
