Ok so I dug it out of the conservatory, itā€™s a Sony TC-K 570 which is early ā€˜90s iirc. Itā€™s in lovely condition and almost everything works, apart from it not playing, which admittedly is a bit of a problem.

Itā€™s almost certainly a belt that has self destructed, which isnā€™t a massive surprise tbh, so Iā€™ve ordered a new set which should arrive early next week.

If youā€™re not in too much of a hurry, Iā€™ll replace the belts and give it a bit of fresh lubrication during next week and let you know if itā€™s working properly?

We should do an AA travelling tape, Iā€™d supply a nice C90, and everyone contributes 3 tracks. We could do it as random selections or have a theme. Itā€™d be fun that.

Both were the last Naks made in the early 90ā€™s

Make them an offer.

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 didnā€™t let it in and it failed, I was absolutely gutted.

I did the same thing with a plush toy of Bill the Cat

ā€œphotosā€ tended to mean him being shoved in a scanner.

The fact that googling ā€œBill the Catā€ prominently brings up r/FuckImOld tells you everything you need to know about this episode.
