    Alan,

    I heard one of these at ANT4066's house in Ruislip, before he moved to Cheshire. It had all of the ANT4066 mods and sounded just fabulous at 3.75 IPS. Top class cassette deck.

    I would keep an eye out for a top class Nakamichi e.g. a CR7, Dragon, ZX9 or a RX505E. Buy a decent one, which has been serviced and it will give you great transcriptions of your 700 cassettes. If you decide to sell it, I would be surprised if you made a loss. A grew months ago, someone on PFM had a serviced CR7E for only £450. If I didn't already own a Dragon with ANT4066 mods, then I would have bought it in a flash.
