Thanks all.
It's a Nak Cassette Deck 1 Limited. The only silver deck I’ve ever owned, matches my other stuff.
Deck was just serviced by the previous owner, but looking for service provider in case I should have any issues down the road.
So I Just Bought a Cassette Deck
I was big into cassettes for OTA recording for many years in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, and of course, for use in the car. When my last deck died in 2006, I figured that was the end. But, missing the fun of tape I just picked up a used but great-condition Nakamichi deck. So, a couple questions.
I heard there are new cassettes being made by a US company. They’re only making type 2 tapes. I believe the company has a 3-letter name. Anyone familiar with this?
Secondly, looking for any good tape deck repair places in the New England area. Or anywhere in the US really. All my go-to guys from years ago are gone. Any recommendations?
Thanks all.

@jaybe If you can, ask the previous owner if the power supply filter capacitors were replaced. Any cassette machine is old enough these days that these parts should be replaced if the machine is to be reliable. If they fail, they can take the power transformer with them. |
@mingles Thanks for link. Needed a repair service to go over my deck for awhile. |
@atmasphere They were not. I believe it was just a clean and check/replace rollers and belts, so it was just the minimum. I'd love to send it for a complete check, but I have no clue what that might cost. Any idea on that? This deck was made for only 1 year, 1991. The non-Limited version is the same and was made 1990-1993. Far as I know the only difference was the silver color and the Limited badging. Thanks again all for the feedback. |
