I'm now worried that Nak spares for well known later models have run out.
The LX3 was a good machine, but as with the 5 and 700/1000 models of this period, the circuits and wiring looms were incredibly complex and trouble prone. The later, simpler construction (Ok, I know, IC's instead), did make for greater reliability.
My favourite oldie Nak was the 682-ZX and I wish I hadn't sold mine..
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?
