    TECHNICS RS-M51 Very Rare Metal Dolby Cassette Tape Deck Works But With Issues
    ***
    --Had to re-list due to a non-payer. Please be serious when bidding--
    Here is a very scarce Technics Metal Dolby NR cassette deck. Never shows up on eBay or anywhere else.
    The unit cosmetically is superb. It works on occasion and sounds great and all functions work but
    there is an issue that was pinpointed to me by my friend who is an electronics expert. The Dolby NR relay switch has an issue causing flooding of the right channel. Not being an expert on these models but will need attention.
    This model of cassette deck many say was "Overbuilt" and loaded with too many features. Boards for every function. If you can get this fixed you will have a rare and highly collectable unit made from 1980-1982. List price was 0. Built like a tank and heavy.
    Terms of auction. Shipping 24.50. Payment due within 48 hours after close of auction. No returns as the unit will need service. No overseas shipping. Good luck!
