Technics RS-M10 Cassette Deck

Introduced in 1979 by Technics, the RS-M10 stereo cassette deck came before the peak in pre-recorded cassette tapes and now, with the renewed interest in cassette tape, decks such as this are quite sought after. This example is in fully working condition, after being cleaned, and tested, although it does have some age-related cosmetic imperfections. It will come professionally packaged with our normal 3-month warranty.
