Super cool and rare turntable from Nakamichi and a must if you're a Nakamichi collector.

This particular example is in amazing cosmetic condition and working perfectly inside and out. No small feat in itself.

It's also *complete* including the necessary record puck, centering tonearm stylus, post end caps (often lost or missing), and record mat. 

It plays records perfectly. Speed locks in immediately and is precise at both speeds (33 RPM & 45 RPM). The arm articulates smoothly and precisely, and the resulting sound is simply glorious. 

The overall unit condition is rated an 8, but please note the acrylic cover has the typical light scratches on top that accumulate over time.

This is a tricky item to ship safely but we're very good at packaging and have a lot of experience *specifically* with delicate Dragons. Our SealedAir Instapak custom expanding foam machine helps get it right, plus special "to our specs" heavy-duty double-ply cardboard cartons. Reusable too if you move in the future.

We've chosen to bundle this Dragon CT with a new Sumiko Blue Point No. 3 MC (Moving-Coil) Low Output phono cartridge. Handmade in Japan. But we can mount your existing cartridge or supply one from our new Sumiko inventory via the options at the bottom of this listing.

We can mount your own cartridge or supply one from our new Sumiko inventory via the options at the bottom of this listing.
