Nakamichi and the Dahlquist DQ-10

 

Thought some of you might find this interesting... While going through my files to expand the group Wiki and make it a bit more useful, I ran across images of this old Nakamichi brochure for the DQ-10. Yes, Nakamichi. Back at the end of 1973, the DQ-10 so impressed Mr. Etsuro Nakamichi himself that he decided to import and distribute the model in Japan using his company. This is a brochure for the early units with the CTS woofer, but the model found its fans over there and they were sold in Japan by one outfit or another until the end of production. I can't say for certain, but it seems the DQ-10s Nakamichi brought over stuck the badges up top (or so it was for the couple of pairs I've seen) counter to the optionally mounted badges on the US versions with the tendency to glue them down low.
 

John, indeed interesting.? I had an old Nakamichi (Nak) cassette deck back in the day that was an audiophile item.? (Today putting cassette deck and audiophile?in the same sentence would be considered a faux pas.)
