I used to have one and I now have the similar Cr-1a, which lacks the bias fine adjustment. I also have the DR-3, which is the more recent version of essentially the same deck The Nak 2 head decks are very nice and I have had no trouble with mine over a long period of time. The man problem with some of them is the "orange cap" problem. There are some orange capacitors that typically go bad after a couple decades. The earlier BX series had a rubber idler drive that would go bad after a few years. But I have been using a BX-300 for over 10 years and have had no problems. The CR and DR series have a gear drive that avoids the idler problem. I have had no problem with belts on any of my Naks.
