Well done! As long as there are gentlemen like you who are willing and able to repair such devices, there's still hope. I had one of these Nakamichi's, wonderful machines, the pinnacle of cassette technology. I'm impressed by your work!

That's an excellent repair job with proper diagnosis, kudos to you for some really fine work. I have a Nak 670 ZX with a suspiciously similar recording problem. I'll have to dive deep on this. Thanks for a useful and very informative repair.

Wish you the best of luck buddy, if you have the same oscillator module soldered in, give it a whirl. I had no ability to record or erase.

Nice work. I have some tiny boards from DAT decks that I can't repair because I don't have a microscope or any other tools other than some strong hand lenses. Do you have any recommendations for equipment that a hobbyist (ie not stupidly expensive) should have?
@pwrestorationАй бұрын
Honestly the microscope hardly ever comes out. The best tools I have is a set of picks, I use them constantly. UNITEDLUX 4-Piece Precision Pick & Hook Set, Car Auto Oil Seal O-Ring Seal Gasket Pick Mini Precision Hooks Professional Puller Remover Mechanic Tool amzn.eu/d/eLbONZ9

If yours hasn't actually got to this state it's a good idea to coat in a bit of hot melt to stop oxidation I've found this worked for quite a few things

why is this a £1.4k? Seems pretty basic, I see nothing extra, all plastic.

Equivalent to the original price. Was £550 in 1988. It's one of the higher end decks available.

Watching inside it looks simliar to my Telefunken which I prize for hard manual control which after 44 tears works perfect (if only user fingers are capable to push strong 😄) .I prize soft control but not in so old machine because now it could brake and with soft plastic gear teeths may be more delicate. Anoher advantage in my Tefunken is money I paid in 2020 - about 25 USD😁. What is missing? Of course third head. But only a little because main advantage of third recording head for me is that it's azimuth can be never turned while play head is alowed for adjusting to recorded in past tapes. In my case I had to buy second the same telefunken and by keeping constans azimuth I designated it only for actual recordings. Sadly Telefunken I found good enough for my taste and that it does not let me for further hunt for the better and it is somehow disappointing. I listened for over 20 years to Onkyo which also had only 2 heads but in reward was auto reverse and full remote controlled (MPX, Bias, Dolby B/C) . - in Sindpoarore I paid about 280 USD. Later got B&O also reverse and fully RC ( MPX, Dolby B) - I replaced both for that simple easy to operate two Telefunkens. .
