I am looking to add a cassette deck to my system. Any ideas on a 'new' in the box model I should look at? Bought a 'used' Nak a few years back - never worked properly - worn belts, idler wheels, etc.
Look through second hand stores like goodwill. Sometimes they have nice decks that is if your not into spending a fortune. I found a JVC from late '70s I would say (has needle VU's-way cool) for like 10 bucks. Looks and works like new. I use it to make killed diller tapes for the road.
I would take a look at Tascam, they still make great sounding cassette decks. You may also want to look at DAT, I have 2 in my system for over 10 years without any problems at all. DAT tapes are readly available and you can record 2 hours of music per tape.
I'd 2nd the suggestion of a Tascam. Even tho I haven't heard their cassette decks, they do make solid, usually reliable, equipment. Should be possible to get service & parts should you ever need it, too.
