This is the next #cassette deck in the queue for refurb. The #JVC KD-85 is a real rarity in the UK, particularly in 'native' 240V form, rather than an import from Japan or the US.

It's a hell of a thing for the #70s (1978) and the #tape transport is one of the best ever made. Definitely a rival for any #Nakamichi I've owned when it comes to playback.

Overhead shot of the internals of the JVC KD-85 cassette deck. It's a sea of circuit boards and the chunkiest tape mech you're likely to come across.
