Re: Cassette Quality

It's the original 700, as you say it sounds very good and I absolutely love the styling. Also if the Vikings invade I can use it to fend off a few as it weighs so much :D

Its good but I really don't want to have another media format in the house, only just got rid of an 8-track.

Re: FoTF Royd Speakers

Re: Cassette Quality

I have done a little Googling on the Nak 700 and it was a very high end model, interesting what you say about loose tape on the head as the Nak 700 has some way of keeping the tape tight on the spools.

Cassette Quality

A few days ago I powered up the Nakamichi 700 that I got from the in-laws. It has a motor or "something" running all the time and a bit noisy if used in its vertical position, but laid on its back feet I was astonished to what I could hear. It came with a prerecorded best of "Hot Choc...

Sorry Richard :oops: I have learned that you really do have to be careful not to get sucked in to the lies, deceits and also to weigh up all...
