Description
For sale is the Mitsubishi DT‑4550 stereo cassette deck-a sleek, late‑1970s marvel from Mitsubishi's top-tier Diatone line. This full-featured deck offers Dolby B noise reduction, a DC servo motor with quartz-style speed stability, and auto-stop with soft-eject for tape and mechanism protection. It handles both normal and chrome tapes with independent bias/equalizer settings, while delivering clean audio from 30 Hz to 16 kHz and whisper-quiet operation (wow/flutter just 0.07%, S/N up to 64 dB) Built with hard-permalloy record/playback heads, that instantly recognizable Alps-style tape counter, rugged aluminum faceplate, and VU meter with warm backlighting, this deck blends classic design and solid performance. Powers up and appears to work but Sold as is and for parts.
