    Description

    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" our has a
    Unconditional 30 day guarantee, completely
    refurbished, belts, adjusted, calibrated, lubed and thoroughly tested in recording and playback.
    We would normally sell this restored unit for $ 495 but since we now have a second one we are restoring, we thought we would offer this one for auction.
    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 $ 500 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 paying $ 500 for just a cassette deck is a waste of your money
    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 ebay 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

    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 Ebay 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 ebay 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?
