In Reply to: Buying & maintaining a vintage cassette deck--Nakamichi? BX-300? Or? posted by WoodyWW on October 18, 2014 at 07:34:37:
I'd think a BX-300 (I have one) that was stored for 15 years is not nearly as good a bet as one that has been played regularly or at least within the last couple of years. All the lubrication is likely to have turned to cement and the drive belt to goo. It's definitely a good deck, though, and there are Nak techs (Willy Hermann on the West Coast and ESL in the East, for starters) who could bring it back from the near-dead. At a price.
