Hello, Doug!I have one of each version of the Nak 700, series I and series II, that is.
Nice decks!
Basically very heavy behemouths, designed to work best in a vertical position. If you open them up, there is enough space inside for a picnic lunch for five people, but they can sound terrific, if properly maintained.
The controls sometimes get gritty and need to be sprayed out and belts should be replaced with new, if possible.
The oddball thing about the 700 "Tri-Tracer" was that even though it was a large, well-made deck, it was not suitable for 19" rack mounting. It is a very long deck, you know!
Anyway, cassettes go in the loading slot sort of upside-down and bass-ackwards, you know!
The machine has a "beacon" feature which theoretically allows for accurate adjustment of azimuth.
Heck, go for it if you get one cheaply!
Or, stop by my house in Berkeley and for an outlay of very little $$$, I will even help you load them both into your vehicle of choice.
This goes for anybody who is interested in my decks and lives within the SF Bay Area!
