And while the ZX-7 and Dragon are nice, you'll get smoother operation and keepp much more cash in your pocket to go with a late 70's - early 80's belt drive logic controlled gear than the clicky clanky computer controlled gear drive stuff. VINTAGE NAKAMICHI 600 Cassette Tape Deck Recorder - Silver NEEDS BELTS - 119.99. Type: 2-head, single compact cassette deck. Nakamichi’s cassette decks were created with a design. The succeeding 600 a handsome’ski-slope’ design that really put it on the map in 1974 cemented the brand’s reputation.

One of the few decks that have a wedge-shaped layout with the cassette compartiment located on the left side of the deck. them should have auto-reverse unless specified. The main features of the Nakamichi 600II are: 2 heads, mechanical 3 digit tape counter and memory stop, manual tape type selection and capable of handling normal and chrome tapes, belt driven single-capstan transport. For my money, the 581 is the nicest sounding and plain coolest Nak I've ever used. 3-head and all of them should have some sort of fine bias adjust and Dolby All but the Nakamichis and the portables have Dolby HX.
