    To be fair, selling prices for a decent one of these, rightly or wrongly, aren’t far off his asking price.

    In addition, my good friend, who is something of a cassette guru, says these are an utter b***ard to repair, too, so the service cost probably isn’t unreasonable!

    Er..no it really isn't! It was Aiwa's top deck of the day and Aiwa knew a thing or two about making good cassette decks.

    I had the 6800 model and it was a beast, weighting more than most amplifiers from top brands...
    I did had to clean melted belts and install new ones, to get inside and reach the parts is something I never will want to do again, it was a real nightmare to work with!!

    Even if one had rare one off cassette recordings that can't be obtained in a different format surely paying that sort of money for a deck is just silly. Getting a good quality player for say 100 quid is easy enough.

    Mind you I may, if my conscience allows me to, sell my 3 head Nakamichi beast for that sort of money. I'll even have it serviced.

    I’m sure if it had a Nakamichi badge, few would bat an eyelid at the price...

    You are right Andrew. I've turned it off and, just so I know when I've used that app, replaced it with something inconspicuous.

    There is another forum I visit where you are banned if you do not remove the signature after being asked.

    Oh I did not feel singled out at all. You are correct and that prompted me to change. I should have included a smiley of some sort in my reply.

    It is a default setting in Tapatalk and to change it one has to go via several screens.

    Anyway to get back to the main topic of the day. 󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    Pah - where's your sense of adventure? Old cassette decks are fun!

    I must admit, this is the one I fancy, currently -
