JVC CD-S200 Rare Cassette Deck. The JVC CD-S200 is a fine sounding and rare cassette deck which benefits from some very interesting features like a peak display. This one works properly, play, record, fast forward and rewind. These look stunning in low light with their meters and blue back lighting and look very different to the norm when it comes to hifi. Please also see my auction for the matching JR-S200L Receiver. This auction is for the Cassette Deck only.

I’ve Had this and its matching receiver for a good few years but I’ve just not used it in many a year so both need to go to a new home. I’ve replaced the belts at some point but can’t remember when as its not all that common now for these machines to be working so well. This is a UK spec 230V unit so if buying from overseas bear that in mind as it may not work in your country without a transformer of some description. Please see attached photos as these form part of the description. When I start my auctions at £1 with no reserve, my philosophy is that an items current value has no bearing on the price I paid for it when purchased, I have had the enjoyment of using and or tinkering with it and therefore feel whatever the items end bid price at the end of the auction is it’s fair market value. So if that is less than I paid for it then so be it. I will always try to answer any other questions so please feel free to ask away but please ask all your questions before the end of the auction and satisfy yourself that what you have bid is what you are happy to pay for the item, asking questions after you have won the auction and then changing your mind is not exactly honourable and as this is an auction caveat emptor does apply. I will always try where possible to recycle packaging from items I have bought and will only charge the actual cost of postage no packing or “it didn’t reach the price I thought so I will put a bit on the postage” fees. I do much prefer collection by the buyer so they can then satisfy themselves with the item but of course if shipping will pack accordingly. For fragile items such as turntables collection is my ideal way of the buyer getting hold of their new purchase, this cuts out the risk of the item however well packed getting kicked around the back of a container lorry by a less than careful courier and arriving in a rather dishevelled condition. On that note I can not always find suitable packaging at auction end so it can take a day or two for me to get an item packed and shipped as I am an enthusiast/magpie/collector and not a dealer so the items I sell are things that I have either upgraded from, bought as a project and probably not finished or things I just could not resist or leave alone but never really used and are therefore second hand and used. All my items in Kent, England and I am happy to ship to anywhere in the world at the buyers cost and risk via the ebay global shipping programme. I prefer payment via ebays payment system, I am going to spend it on more shiny things anyway and it just makes life easier.
