Wollensak 3M 4765 Cassette Deck, a classic piece of audio history manufactured in Japan during the 1970s. This model features the iconic Cassette Guardian Automatic Stop System, Dolby Noise Reduction, microgap ferrite head, and dual direct drive transport – innovations that placed Wollensak among the respected names in consumer and professional tape equipment. The deck powers on, the VU meters light up, and the controls respond, but I don’t have the proper setup to fully test playback or recording. The unit has its original woodgrain side panels, clear smoke-top dust cover, and all front panel switches and knobs intact. Please review all photos carefully – the exact item pictured is the one you will receive. Wollensak, a division of 3M (Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Company), earned a strong reputation for durable, high-quality audio equipment used in schools, studios, and homes. The 4765 was part of their higher-end cassette line, offering a balance of rugged build and advanced audio features that remain collectible today. Powers on, meters light up. Appears responsive but untested for full playback/recording. Light wear consistent with age. Wollensak 3M 4765 Cassette Deck (Serial #47654453). Original woodgrain casing & dust cover (see photos). This makes a fantastic restoration project, parts source, or collector’s display piece for those who appreciate vintage analog technology. 16 lbs and will package carefully.

Wollensak 3M Model 4050 Automatic Record Level UNTESTED Vintage Audio Tape. Unsure if item works, but seems to be in relatively good shape. I think the stuff in the battery compartment is deteriorated foam, not corrosion, but I may be wrong. May have dust and dirt from storage. Various small flaws are pictured.

This one has the original box and has the dust lid. I did not put a cassette tape in it, but the player powers on, it lights up, and when I push “play” the drive wheel spins. I picked it up from my friend who was cleaning his basement. He takes good care of his stuff. There are some minor scratches and scuffs, but they are pretty minor. It’s in very nice condition for a 45 year old electronic. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional pictures.
