Have you always wanted to have an iconic Nakamichi Dragon in your home? Then this is your chance. The cassette deck received a maintenance in June 2019 by Tom van der Hoff in Maas-Sluis NL. During his career he worked at TransTec bv. The running gear has been adjusted, idler, shut-off and counter light have been replaced. The belt running has been optimized. The shut-off and control belt have been replaced. The NAAC circuit has been adjusted just like the entire machine. The deck has been with me for 5 years now and I have always been very careful with it. Comes with original manual and original box-in-box. Collection in Belgium/Haaltert is preferred. The Nakamichi Dragon is a truly unique deck. It is a direct drive, auto-reverse cassette deck with the groundbreaking NAAC system for automatic azimuth correction of the playback head. Thanks to the NAAC system, sound quality differences between forward and reverse are completely eliminated and perfect playback is possible under all conditions. In addition, manual calibration facilities for recording sensitivity and bias enable highly precise adjustment to meet the requirements of each band.
