Launch of the Nakamichi Dragon Audio Cassette Deck
Introduced in 1982, the Nakamichi Dragon was the first Nakamichi audio cassette deck engineered with a bi-directional replay capability and the world's first production tape recorded equipped with an automatic azimuth correction system. Decades later, it is still sought after by audio collectors, with well-maintained models fetching as much as $6000 in the used market.
