Auto Azimuth Adjustment system Using NAAC Serviced Aligned with fantastic sound and look Details on Photos SpecialDual AC input Voltage 220V/110VHigh Serial Number/ recent manufacture Service done on this machineNote - I service Nakamichi Cassette Recorders for the last 20 years and you can read the service quality based on the Feedbacks in Ebay items particularly Dragon and CR7A. The Machine came to my possession as non Working needing Spool Drive idler tire replacement which was worn/hardened. Dragon always require belts change as well as DD Capstan Motor Cleaning and lubrication when it was not serviced recently. Sometimes it needs electronic adjustment to change the Speed differential between the capstans based on Tape Travel/wow /Flutter/ Frequency response etc as the Dried out Spool drive idler indicates very long storage. if the Dragon was not at all attended and stored, they need attention to certain Capacitors as well. In essence Dragon repair restoration is a time consuming (Labor intensive ) work with experience with Dragon service alone. This machine required clean up of the Transport after complete dismantling, Belts change and alignment with Calibration of Meter/Playback/Record as well as Tone Oscillator adjustments were done. Nakamichi Cassette Recorder work requires Nakamichi Gauges/ Alignment Cassettes along with High Bandwidth DMM and Nakamichi T100 analyzer. I also use Audio Precision for checking the Record Play bandwidth The cosmetic condition is very good - considering over 34 year lifeThe international shipping Cost depends on the Country and the rate shown is not correct. If you are a bidder from other than US 48 states please check with me for correct shipping cost. Also note Ebay shipping restricts available insurance to 1000$ only. However I spend effort, material and time in packing it I will ensure safe arrival to any international destination provided USPS allows. So please check with me for correct international shipping rate and options. Please check my feedback as I have sold many Nakamichi Recorders over the past decade Always ask questions before bidding to ensure proper communication.
