Up for  auction is a Nakamichi CR-1, 2 head stereo cassette deck. The deck is fully serviced and the following repairs have been done:

- Cleaned the heads and pinch roller.

- Lubricated the transport mechanism.

- De-carbonized the reel and cam motors. 

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

- Adjusted the playback/record head for correct azimuth.

- Replaced the Jamicon electrolytic caps in the audio circuits using Nichicon Muse caps.

- Increased the Dolby's power supply filter capacitors value from 220uF to 470uF. 

- Increased the playback amp power supply filter cap from 100uF to 220uF.  

- Increased the record amplifier power supply filter cap from 47uF to 220uF.

- Cleaned the potentiometers using deoxit D5.

- Adjusted the electronics for correct levels and bias using TDK D/SA/MA tapes.

- 3 months warranty for the parts and labor (doesn't cover the shipping expenses).

All the functions are operating as they should be, playback, record, ff, rew, pause, counter, counter memory, dolby b & c, timer, auto repeat. The performance is great for a 2 head deck, in both playback and recording modes, especially now with the new audio caps. The deck is ideal for playing pre recorded tapes or/and to use it for digitizing your cassettes. Externally it is in very good condition, considering the age ( please check the pictures). This is a 120V model, S/N 29563, production date 1988. With the deck are included the old parts. 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.
