Philips DCC900 DCC Recorder (x2 for sale in Utica, New York

$400

For sale are 2 (two) Phillips DCC 900 units.
"The Philips Digital Compact Cassette was introduced in 1992 at the same time as the Sony MiniDisc.
The sales and marketing hype was that it was backwards compatible with the popular and established analogue cassette tape. Although the two types of cassette construction where very different, the basic physical size was similar allowing the DCC player mechanism to accommodate the older analogue cassette for playing in the DCC players.
The DCC system had a very impressive technical specification and provided CD audio quality recording and playback. But the public expected "instant audio track access" on high technology digital products (as the optical CD and MD) and the DCC "tape format" was seen as past and outdated technology and had very poor general customer appeal."

Cosmetically, the units are in great shape, but have only collected dust over recent years. The only damage are cosmetic scratches from the units being stacked on top of one another. These units are for the serious audiophile. Current market value on 1 unit was $380 at the time of cited article. There are no examples for sale on all of eBay or Amazon as of writing this ad, and I want them to move, so the 2 units together are priced at $400 for both - or best offer. Sold as-is, because they have not been heavily used in years.
(The first two images are stock photos of the unit, the second two are the actual units for sale.)
