Description

The RX-202 transport features UDAR, Nakamichi's unique uni-directional auto-reverse mechanism, eliminating the azimuth error loss of conventional auto-reverse decks.

The music sensing circuit monitors playback and fast forwards through blank 'tail' to provide uninterrupted playback.

A dual master fader creates smooth 2 or 4 second fades at a touch.

The frequency response of the RX-202 rivals that of most 3-head decks thanks to a specially designed laminated Sendust record/play head.

Cosmetic condition is very good - there are some minor scuff marks on the sides and top of the case... nothing very offensive at all. Very attractive unit worth putting some TLC into.
