Luxman K-235 W (1995–1998)
The Luxman K-235 W is a dual-well auto-reverse cassette deck from the mid-to-late 1990s, built in Korea. It is a somewhat obscure model in Luxman's catalog. Formal documentation is scarce - no original manual, spec sheet, or period review appears to have survived in accessible archives. What is known comes largely from secondhand market listings and enthusiast posts.
The deck is described as an auto-reverse, double-cassette unit with automatic recording level and long-play support. The front panel is metal. It measures 420 × 132 × 273 mm and weighs 4.3 kg, per an Estonian listing that also dates production to 1995-1998. That same listing calls it simply an "Auto-Reverse Double Cassette Tape Deck" in black.
A Russian-language seller describes the sound quality as good, though that kind of comment is unit-specific and anecdotal. Condition varies from machine to machine. One listing notes both tape wells working, another says one well is non-functional. A Japanese auction listing describes a unit as a "faulty parts unit." None of this says anything about the model as a whole, only about the specific decks offered.
No formal specifications have been located for this model. That means no frequency response, wow and flutter, S/N ratio, head configuration, or inputs/outputs. Pricing seen in current listings is roughly €170, 9,000 rubles, or 2,400 hryvnia, depending on market and condition.
