Nakamichi Dragons worth the fix?


I have bought a Nak Dragon from an auction, which the shipper has claimed to be in fine shape. When it came to my door, something had happened to it, either the gorillas from UPS or a untrusworthy seller. My question is, is the deck worth fixing and keeping or would it better leave it as a learning lesson to never trust anyone again at auctions or at places like Audiogon? I saw the problem, the inside plastic skeleton that holds the Nak tape deck drawer together and aligns it properly is cracked...I realize that the technician who has to fix this will spend SOME hours changing this part, which is tangled up with wires and switch connections galore. What is your take on this puzzling problem? PAUL

The last guy better go back to stereo days before his briefs were wet !!! I own Nak. Dragon that was made in 1983 that comes out and flips ,want a picture or a short clip for your media player??????????? Now days at Nakamichi they are still trying to come back. Now that they aren't such d_ _k heads they might make it. Hopefully in time there equipment will get good again. Oh did a forget to tell you I use to sell Nakamichi car stereo's at the time I purchase my Dragon??? OPPS!!!!
Hands down, Let Steve Sank fix your Dragon cassette deck. He's the best at fixing it. His website is http://emall-online.com/cvspeakerco/index.htm and his email address is stephen_sank@emall-online.com
Just for additional info to help you decide, Sonic Sense also specializes in Nak stuff. Their website was henge.com/~sncsns/.
Dayton -- No offense, but it's not the REAL Dragon. Like 914s, 924s, 944s and 968s aren't real Porsches.
