Granddaddy of all cassette decks?

[NAD613]

I remember seeing ads for this in old hi-fi mags I read when I was in college in the mid-90's & to this day, it still strikes me as one of the fanciest cassette decks I've ever seen. I heard it retailed for $2000 back around 1979. Bet the tapes sounded pretty good, though.

And someone's got it for sale on Ebay, too! First time I've ever seen it offered:
