eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough.
cd318, you are right, you are right. It's virtually impossible to do what I suggest, it's a phantasy, I just wanted to introduce another angle for mentalizing. But the spirit of this phantasy might be considered and I think should be considered. I...

Stop using your computers and phones and the Big Tech won't own America. They are just parasites and do the only thing they can do.We keep whining like mules and squeal like pigs instead of acting. Is this American now ?

Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it
Ralph, I see. Helpful warning. But still..I would only consider three heads decks.

People like Willy Hermann are capable of lapping the heads, or whatever it is called, and they often have used spare heads in good condition. That's what Willy once told me.Buy three heads deck even if there is a slight risk of extra expenses. 
New ebay payments require SS#?
I won't be selling anywhere that requires banking and other information.I remember ebay many years ago when I just sent check, money order or cash. Never a single problem. Where are we headed with all this ?

Ralph, why do you look at these things ? I mean, heads for Nak decks. You have Studers, that's real tape machines.

chakster, I see. $1k should buy RX-505 in excellent condition. 
Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it
chakster, again just a thought. Decks with reverse, like RX-505 and Dragon, might be less reliable and more expensive to service. So if you want ’cool’ stuff then yeah, but if you want better and more reliable deck then it is among those that I me...

Ralph, I see. I would need a pro grade outboard Dolby S unit to experiment with it. I don't think I would want to go in this direction. 
Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it
I never tried Dolby S. Dolby C is terrible. Dolby B might make some sense in rare cases.

Yes, he made a mistake, I never mentioned TD700 or I would've responded.Regarding deck servicing, I would think that there should be some very qualified people in Germany and other European countries, though I don't know anyone, it is just a thoug...

Fast forward and rewind your MA-XG before recording. Also, try to record a few minutes of something with clear high frequencies. If the sound is muffled the tape might've been magnetized. May not be a problem. Record once and then record again, it... 
What Makes your System Special?
Absolutely nothing makes my system special, mapman. And the same can be said about 99.99% of all systems.
