Nakamichi TD-800

Little is documented about the Nakamichi TD-800. It is a car stereo cassette deck with an integrated tuner. Audio (September 1984, p.68) described it as one of the finest tuner/tape deck combinations ever offered to music-loving drivers. The same review said its FM performance was uniquely good. The reviewer consistently picked up more stations, far more clearly, than with a reference system.

Beyond that period coverage, surviving information is thin. The specifications that exist come from a single directory listing:

No production years, original price, or details on the transport mechanism have surfaced. If you have a TD-800 or its manual, the archive would welcome the missing pieces.
