It's actually my deck - great job Paul!! I also have a Sony 661s which Paul sorted out - again great work. I've some cassettes from back in the day that I very occasionally play, and I can now do tape to tape with the Nak being the playback deck. I doubt tapes will come back like vinyl has but if (like me) you want to record something from vinyl or another source, a good cassette deck can have its place. Getting a good vintage one serviced like this gets you a better machine than a new one (without dolby etc).

Another great job, well done Paul

I just bought a CR4-E and found it has a take up reel problem….so I hopefully this video helps me!

I should have give you my Aiwa xls 7000 to service ! - great video

I bought this deck in 1992 for 999 Dutch Guilders, (today €950). Surprisingly good value for the money.

Had my Nakamichi Cassette Deck 2 from new and it's still going strong handy thing is they can be picked up for a good price these days as most people want the more high-end decks also bought a DR-3 about a year ago which i think is the same deck just with a different fascia for £60 and it's in mint condition

Yes they're very similar internally. Thankfully they got rid of the bloomin idler tyre

That was great to watch - I have one of these decks so may be useful one day. £350 though? They tend to sell for about 1/3 of that on the bay.

Sorry, that was their original RRP - in 1990! One pricy bit of kit back then.

Hey still lovin the content, had another question tho...where do you get your pinch rollers from?? I forgot what video it was but I remember you said you got them in bulk.

I generally get them from eBay, and have a stock, but for some higher end stuff I like to buy individual ones. For most of my Sony stuff I measure the one coming off with a micrometer and order 5 or 6.

I have the same deck, although in silver, and really like it. What causes these motors to flat spot, and is there any way to avoid it?

@pwrestoration

25 күн бұрын

Unfortunately it seems not, it's caused by lack of use or the motor being in one position. The motors CAN be refurbished but the concencus is that it will fail again. Using a new, albeit Chinese replacement is looked down on by purists but it doesn't affect playback or recording. Just takeup and RW/FF. I've done a few now.

good job ! where are you sourcing your mabuchi motors from if i may ask ?

Yes, it is 'laughable' - I'm laughing all the way to the bank. I am still repairing and servicing them and I have enough work to keep me going for a long time yet, with new jobs arriving every week. If it's "absolute trash", how come so many people want their decks repaired?
