Nakamichi Dragon CT Computing Vintage Turntable - Legendary and Rare

Free Shipping on *ALL* Electronics (Excluding Speakers, Contiguous 48 US States Only)

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

This 'table is part of our in-house collection and we have enjoyed it for many years, but it's time to make room for the new goodies rolling in daily.

This example is in super cosmetic condition.

We've actually had more than one of these over the years and kept the one in the best cosmetic shape. There are no significant scratches or signs of heavy use anywhere. It is complete including the necessary record puck, centering tonearm stylus, post endcaps (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 auto centering feature works some of the time but not always. This is more of a gimmick and does not affect operation.

This is a tricky item to ship safely, but we are very good at packing and have a lot of experience specifically packing these Dragons. Our SealedAir Instapak custom expanding foam machine helps get it right, plus special "to our specs" heavy-duty double-ply cardboard cartons.

This will ship with a free Adcom vintage phono cartridge but you're likely going to want something modern to get the most of it.

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