Normally we see this deck for $ 399, however we have an extra one we are willing to let go low for Christmas time. You will not find a better bang for the buck on a auto reverse deck, in sound quality or build quality or 30 day money back guarantee. FOR SALE: Yamaha Cassette K-720-Top of the Line for an AUTO-REVERSE Deck While most seller offer "as is" or say "belts changed" ours has a Unconditional 30 day guarantee, completely refurbished, belts, adjusted, calibrated, lubed and thoroughly tested in recording and playback. 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. 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 with a manufacturer suggested retail price of USD $499 ($ 1260 IN TODAYS MONEY) 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. BUYER EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT: More important than having the best specs in the cassette world is simply reliability. Unless you have a $ 20,000 stereo system, hearing any difference in this one vs a $ 700 cassette deck will be hard to notice. You should always consider purchasing components that are commensurate with the rest of your system. Other words if you have a $ 1000 to $ 3000 system, a $ 300 cassette is commensurate , but paying $ 700 for just a cassette deck is a waste of your money as you may not even nice the sound difference in the two. This deck has Auto Reverse to keep the music playing, till you decide to change tapes, the K-1000, K-2000 and the KX-1200 ARE NOT AUTO REVERSE. This is best sound quality and most reliable AUTO REVERSE deck on the market. For an Auto Reverse Deck, this is Yamaha's TOTL (Top of the Line) Remote and manual included About 25 Years ago was the height of Cassette Tape Technology, even in the late 90's cars were sold with cassette decks This was the last Cassette model made by Yamaha around 1993 and they made it like they do the Lexus. All functions operate smoother, quieter and faster than any other unit on the market. It was their top of the line unit second only to the KX-1200U. We are a lot different than other Pricetronic sellers of used cassette decks. We have been doing this for over 3 years with perfect results, using the same technician who has over 30 years experience in authorized Yamaha repair. We specialize in only a couple models like this one, so we know all the intricate details of the unit and how to make it perfect. We back our decks with a 30 day guarantee to operate like new. Like many things there is a tradeoff of features with the KX-1200U. While the KX-1200U may have a slight advantage in recording quality, the KX-R720 had auto reverse and a timer setting to capture your favorite radio program to playback later PLUS a much more precise mechanism. In 1993 the K-720 with AUTO-REVERSE sold for $ 500. Adjusted for inflation in today's money that is $ 900. Most other cassette decks sold for less than $ 200. Our $ 375 asking price is very fair for this rare of a unit in refurbished condition with a money back guarantee. Offered is a truly very beautiful and absolutely perfect working/playing vintage Yamaha auto reverse stereo tape deck. This beautiful tape deck is known by enthusiasts/connoisseurs/collectors worldwide. This tape deck is a real eye-catcher in your room, especially because of the beautiful Digital Peak Reading Meters which spread a lovely orange/red light in the dark evenings. Although one can operate this device fully manually, a remote control for this Yamaha tape deck can be bought on the internet, it is not included here. This autoreverse stereo tape deck has Dolby B + C, Dolby HX Pro and metal tape capacity. These are the main features of the Yamaha K-720: Sound reduction: Dolby-B noise reduction Dolby-C noise reduction Dolby HX Pro® FAST Auto Reverse Power Door Open/Close Automatic turn-off Main configuration: 4 Track / 2 Channel Tape types: Chrome Tape Capability Normal Tape Capability Metal Tape Capability Titanium finish 3-Digit Digital Counter Digital Peak-Reading Meters Here is a youtube showing another unit (not ours) in operation, cut and paste this into a new page on your browser www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXSiom4QFTA WHY CASSETTES ? Like Vinyl records, they have a "niche" 1. A lot of people are still driving cars from the 1990's to the 2010 year that still had factory cassette decks and have no plans on changing. 2. Properly recorded, cassettes have a softer, more natural sound than CD and much better than MP3 cell phone streaming. This is assuming you have good speakers. Most systems suffer the most in speakers, especially in cars. For instance, even a stock car radio / cassette with a new set of high quality speakers and sub will make cassettes sound really good where you can easily hear their superior quality. 3. Many people have a library of cassettes and do not wish to buy it all over again on CD. 4. Many have special educational material on cassettes that is not available or very expensive to repurchase on CD. 5. Many people wish to record a favorite vinyl record or radio program on cassette to listen later in their car WHY A REFURBISHED K-720 with AUTO-REVERSE This is a very well built heavy unit with all wear parts replaced. This unit should work just fine for another 20 years of normal usage. 30 day unconditional guarantee (for buyers in the 48 contiguous U.S. states only). We are the only seller on Pricetronic who offers the Yamaha Cassette K-720 with AUTO-REVERSE-Professionally REFURBISHED, with a 90 day guarantee. The technician on this unit has done factory authorized Yamaha Service since the 1990's when these units came out. After you work on 100 of them, you get to know all the quirks and failure points to check. The playback frequency response and wow & flutter ratings on the K-720-AUTO-REVERSE are just as good as the audiophile KX-1200U. Using an A/B switch, I cannot hear any difference in playing either unit with the same tape. This unit has had the following: 1. All belts replaced 2. Idler roller replaced 3. Bulbs replaced 4. Lube all moving parts 5. Set Playback azimuth, speed and bias levels for each tape type using Maxell UR for type I, TDK Pro IV for type II and Sony XR for Type IV (Metal) 6. All functions/buttons on the device work, perfectly without any problems. Why take a chance on a non-refurbished unit only to end up paying more as soon as a part fails or paying for a tuneup ? Assuming you have the money to spare, this unit is worth every penny. Many cassette decks on Pricetronic are over 40 years old, this unit was the last Yamaha made about 25 years ago and represent the pinnacle in design and manufacture, belts and bulbs are still available, why take a chance on an older unit?
