** Based on the Issuer's last filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 4, 2016, the Issuer reported 2,747,831 aggregate shares of common stock outstanding.


Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Statement on Schedule 13D Amendment No. 4 ("Amendment") amends and restates the Schedule 13D filed June 24, 2015 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on July 7, 2015, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 filed on July 30, 2015, and as further amended by Amendment No. 3 filed on August 20, 2015, collectively the "Schedule 13D") by Kyle S. Packer, Jason R. Herr, Paul B. Luber and Mutiny Fund I, LP (collectively, the "Original Reporting Persons") relating to the shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of Nortech Systems Incorporated, a Minnesota corporation whose principal executive offices are located at 7550 Meridian Circle N, Maple Grove, MN 55369 (the "Issuer"). The Original Reporting Persons as well as Neal B. Jannol, a United States citizen, Garry Anderly, a United States citizen, Keith Pieper, a United States citizen, and Tony Burlingame, a United States citizen, are each a "Reporting Person" and are collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons". Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D, and unless amended or supplemented hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
During the week of June 6, 2016, Mr. Packer was contacted by Mr. Tony Burlingame, a former Corporate Controller of the Issuer who at the time was unaffiliated with the Reporting Persons.

Mr. Burlingame expressed a desire to continue discussions regarding the Reporting Persons' efforts to effect change in the Issuer.
On June 14, 2016, the Reporting Persons formally asked Mr. Burlingame to join their Schedule 13(d) group, on the condition that Mr. Burlingame affirm to the Reporting Persons that at the time of entering such group, with respect to the Issuer, Mr. Burlingame was not aware of any material non-public information and that entry into the Schedule 13(d) group would not contravene or violate any other agreement to which Mr. Burlingame is a party. Mr. Burlingame accepted this offer and made the requested affirmations to the Reporting Persons.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
