VINTAGE-PERFECT MARANTZ 5220 CASSETTE DECK – ANALOG CHARM & TAPE WARMTH – 1-YEAR WARRANTY

Condition: Excellent – Clean faceplate, heads demagnetized and aligned, works flawlessly

The Marantz 5220 is more than a cassette deck — it’s an analog time machine. Designed in the golden age of Marantz, this 2-head, front-loading deck delivers rich, warm, tape-saturated sound with Dolby NR, dual analog VU meters, and manual bias fine-tuning for serious playback accuracy.

With its signature blue dial glow, soft backlit meters, and brushed aluminum face, the 5220 was built to match Marantz receivers of the 22XX series – and just like those legends, it offers long-lasting build quality and musical soul in every reel.

Recently serviced and calibrated, it’s ready to breathe new life into your tape collection — or become the crown jewel in a true vintage rack.
