The 480 is a good deck and better than most other manufacturers decks. The controls could be better but it is good sounding and reliable. A good choice! The later series Naks like the ZX and LX are the cream of the crop.
nakamichi 480
Hi All,
I just picked up a nakamichi 480 tape deck for about $50, meant to be working AOK. Anyone out there using one of these? From what I've read it seems to be pretty respectable - anyone have any experience with this deck?
I also have an option on another nak deck, this time a 700ZXE, but this would be a good bit more expensive.
I will be using the deck for listening to original tapes that I seem to have quite a few of! I don't intend to be recording anything!
So did I get a piece of junk or a hidden gem? Should I follow up on the 700 as well or be happy with the 480?
thanks in advance,
Fran
