Nakamichi service/repair?

**Stimpy** · August 23rd 04, 07:41 AM posted to uk.local.bristol,uk.rec.audio

I have a Naka CR3 cassette deck which is surplus to requirements - I haven't
used a cassette for at least 3 years now - but it needs a drive belt
replacement before it can go up on ebay.

Can anyone recommend a decent repair engineer in Bristol (or thereabouts)
who'll do the job for a reasonable price? Given that it's going to be
auctioned off immediately I don't really want to spend more than the minimum
and don't want to get into sending it off to be repaired.

(Feel free to make me an offer if you're interested)

TIA

Seriously, even a very high quality cassette deck is scarcely worth
repairing these days.
I have found a better bet is to advertise things "all faults" declared on
eBay, and hope that some enthusiast offers you a reasonable price and has
the nouse/spare parts to repair it themselves.
I got rid of a non-working ARCAM DAB tuner this way for over a £100.
Good luck.

I'd get it fixed, polished up and ... put away as a future antique. I
was offered peanuts for my mint early Dragon by the unwashed on Ebay.

Tried to contact you direct - but bounced.

Drop me a line, Stimpy . . .

A Dragon went for £301 on ebay last week!
