Anyone got a decent cassette deck looking for a new home?
I might have a nice Sony tucked away, Iāll dig it out when I get home.
Nak 600 MkI ?
Needs to go in a rack Mike but cheers for the offer
Ok so I dug it out of the conservatory, itās a Sony TC-K 570 which is early ā90s iirc. Itās in lovely condition and almost everything works, apart from it not playing, which admittedly is a bit of a problem.
Itās almost certainly a belt that has self destructed, which isnāt a massive surprise tbh, so Iāve ordered a new set which should arrive early next week.
If youāre not in too much of a hurry, Iāll replace the belts and give it a bit of fresh lubrication during next week and let you know if itās working properly?
Aiwa F-770?
Thats lovely, but on the high side considering im only buying one to justify having a few tapes Iāve had gifted.
Iāve also got open reel.
This fkn hobby
If robs or others donāt happen,I have a couple of denons,I know the 3 head one plays fine,but not sure on the other one.
If you want to buy a few more tapes
We should do an AA travelling tape, Iād supply a nice C90, and everyone contributes 3 tracks. We could do it as random selections or have a theme. Itād be fun that.
Both were the last Naks made in the early 90ās
Make them an offer.
Or make an offer on just the deck. I can collect this one for ya.
Back when they were still in every system, I had the DRM44HX. Bloody great machine that was. Dirt cheap too compared to Naks of the same era.
Does that require lugging a tape deck around?
Sounds like a must.
I once tried to organise one that landed on every continent. It nearly made it but got caught up in customs in South Africa. Because of the amount of participants, by the time it got there, there were dozens of tracks over 5 c90s. For whatever reason they didnāt let it in and it failed, I was absolutely gutted.
I did the same thing with a plush toy of Bill the Cat
āphotosā tended to mean him being shoved in a scanner.
The fact that googling āBill the Catā prominently brings up r/FuckImOld tells you everything you need to know about this episode.
I have an inexpensice Cambridge Audio deck from some time in the 90s going spare
You decide if it is decent enough
