cassette player id

Years ago my brother told me of a cassette deck player he had seen that had a unique auto reverse feature. he said it had a arm that came out and physically picked the cassette out of the machine, turned it over and then placed it back in. Did such a player ever exist? He swears that it is true but I'm beginning to wonder if his imagination has melded into reality in his mind.
Any help at would be appreciated.

Yes Nacog, i have one of these Nakamichi
It's take the cassette out and turn to play the B side
Nakamichi RX 202 Is a fantastic machine like all from Nakamichi

Akai used to make a cassette deck that loaded several cassettes in a hopper-like mechanism. When it ejected the cassette, it pushed it up a ramp where it flipped over and fell back into the hopper on its reverse side.

I will try to find a picture of one of them.
 
Thanks for all the replies. Figures it would be a nakamichi. I got my first Nakamichi just a few weeks ago, a cassettedeck 2, for $30 and I am very impressed.
I know it is not one of Naks best but still very good. Just yesterday I found a Bx-125 at a Goodwill for $15 and everything except the rewind works. The more I read about the dragons the more I want one.

Thanks again.
 
The Nak RX-UDAR mechanism is an engineering feat, especially since it worked and kept alignment so well.
 
Akai Cassette Decks that physically reverse the cassette!

Here's the info on 2 Akai Cassette Decks that physically reverse the cassette.

The GXC-65D features Invert-O-Matic.

The CS-55D says that it "reverses a cassette automatically inside the recorder".
