Hi, ppopp:

This is an easy one to answer!

Nakamichi 480. Best sounding 2-head deck I have ever owned, and I have owned more than five of them. In fact, I believe I still have four machines stacked up in the garage right now for parts.

They are a teensy bit prone to minor issues, but overall, quite a good value for the money. I have had absolutely no problem accessing and changing a drive belt in one, nor is it that difficult to replace the two pinch rollers in the drive mechanism.

Compare with the stupendous difficulty trying to change a belt in something like a Tandberg 3034. I gave up on that one!

The Beo stuff is grand to look at and probably sounds superb. I just wonder about how easy they might be to service.

Ever since I purchaed my very first used 480 in 1984-5, I have always been a big fan of Nak cassette decks.
