This is a stunning Black Optonica RT-1150B Stereo Cassette Deck. While many of these were produced in silver, the black-face finish offers a more sophisticated, "stealth" aesthetic that fits perfectly with modern or vintage Hi-Fi setups.


[Condition Details]


Cosmetics: Excellent vintage condition. The black faceplate is clean with minimal wear, and the lettering is crisp. (See photos for detail).


Functionality: The unit powers on and the VU meters glow bright and responsive.


Repair Needed: The motor is audible, but the spindles do not turn. This unit requires a new belt kit. It is being sold "As-Is" specifically for a collector or hobbyist who can perform this standard maintenance.


[Why the RT-1150B?]

Produced by Sharp’s high-end "Optonica" line, this deck is known for its heavy build quality and excellent signal-to-noise ratio. Once the belts are replaced, it is a high-performing workhorse.
