Here's a super clean Nakamichi Dragon Cassette Deck. Just serviced by master tech, Herb Ward.
Here's what Herb said about this machine:

"Evaluation:

This
Dragon is a high serial # unit with all of the early factory mods done by the
factory. It has
not been used all that much...how can I tell..? well the take up capstan shaft
is sandblasted where it
meets the pinch roller. In high usage machines the area of the capstan shaft
that squeezes the tape
against the pinch roller is often polished.

So the
bottom line is there is little wear and tear on the
heads and tape path components.

Also the
auto azimuth gearbox is not seized which is great cause that is a lot of work
to fix. 

 Servicing:

Replaced
mode mech belt

Degunk
mode cam and relube cam drive assy

Lube
pinch roller pivots

Clean
tape path

Calibrate
auto azimuth.

Calibrate
for SX ( type II tapes ) meets specs"

Includes all the literature (which has been in plastic envelopes since new) that came with the machine when new, including a blanks warranty card. 

A few very minor scratches on top. Some faded lettering on left

Please take a look at all the high-fez photos and ask any and all questions. Nothing to hide here, just good, clean hifi fun.  

No charge for domestic paypal. Paypal users with funds that originate in a international bank must add 4.1% to the total.   

Local pick up is always encouraged.

Please check out my other listings and my impeccable, 100%-positive feedback here and on all the other audio sites under the username Kolledog.  

Get ready for hifi fun!!!!!!!!!!!  

Thank you.
