Up for  auction is a Nakamichi 582Z 3 head stereo cassette deck. The deck is serviced and the following repairs have been done:

- Cleaned the heads and pinch rollers.

- Lubricated the transport mechanism and adjusted the offset.

- Replaced the belts and idler tire, adjusted the motor speed, W&F 0.045% to 0.055%.

- Adjusted the playback/record heads for correct height/azimuth.

- Fixed the broken eject button.

- Replaced the reel sensor/play/stop light bulbs.

- Replaced the audio path electrolytic caps using Elna Silmic II and Nichicon Muse non polar audio caps.

- Replaced the power supply electrolytic caps using Nichicon FG/FW/KW caps.

- Replaced the orange PP capacitors using Wima PP (red) caps.

- Upgraded the 1uF electrolytic caps in the audio path using 1uF Wima film caps.

- Increased the value of the +12V power supply filter caps from 6800uF to 10000uF and from 4400uF to 4700uF.

- Increased the value of the four playback eq amp power supply filter caps from 47uF to 220uF.

- Increased the value of the two record amplifier power supply filter caps from 330uF to 470uF.

- Increased the value of the four Dolby power supply filter caps from 470uF to 1000uF.

- Cleaned the potentiometers and switches using deoxit D5

- Adjusted the electronics for correct levels.

All the functions are operating as they should be, playback, record, ff, rew, cue, pause, counter, counter memory, dolby B & C, test tones, MPX. The performance is excellent in both playback and recording modes, especially now with the new audio caps. Externally it is in very good condition, considering the age (please check the pictures). This is a 120V model, S/N 02374, production date 1981.  All the questions are very welcome.

I moved  recently in US from Greece, where I was working in Greek Nakamichi service during 90's and I have all the professional equipment (original test tapes, oscilloscope, wow & flutter meter, distortion meter, frequency response meter, CR-7 test unit, 1000ZXL test unit). If you need to service your deck I'll be happy to help you, 7085281523. See also  my other items and my feedback.
