Aiwa F9900 cassette deck

This is a very nice Aiwa F990 cassette deck (sorry, not 9000--just mistyped but the system does not let me correct it), top of the line in 1984; considered to be the pinnacle of cassette deck technology at the time. It has automatic tape calibration, automatic recording level, demagnetizing etc, features too numerous to list. All functions and lights work as they should. I bought the deck from a respectable E-Bay technician who specializes in refurbishing cassette decks. He went over this deck thoroughly, aligned and demagnetized the heads, calibrated it to original specs. The deck is in very good condition; the face plate is flawless, as new; the top has been repainted black supposedly because of some scratches and looks matte, but overall, very clean. I bought it mainly for its looks--have used it for a few hours only. I have numerous cassette decks in my collection and need to sell some because of the lack of space and limited listening time. I also have a an Aiwa F660, little lower in the line but it sounds just as good; the 660 has also been brought back to original specs and is in mint condition (no scratches or smudges.) Both Aiwas sound as good as my Nakamichis--in fact, have more fancy bells and whistles, for a fraction of the Nak's cost. They are great for archiving vinyl. I want $500 for both decks or $275 each, take your pick. I will include a couple of blank new cassettes if you pay my asking price. Pictures are to follow soon.
