Thanks for the reply. I'll look them up. Not going to spend whole lot, around $200. I have converted all my analog music to FLAC but in my office I have a small system with a pair of JBL 4311's and like to listen to a tape now and then....

I would stick with Nakamichi , they are more readily serviced than most. If you can find a BX300 in good shape that would be good.
Changing the pinch roller and small belts is a dream it's that easy.
Not sure you will get one for $200 though.

I've found lots of lower end Naks for around $200 A dr3 can be had for around $200 but they are still 30yrs old and yes you can get them serviced but ESL, Magnetic tape or some such place is going to be another $200 to get one completely gone thru and at that age no matter how good the service is you're rolling the dice.
I will go that route if I must but given the resurgence of vinyl I thought maybe somebody was building a deck worth having..
It could well be that with the advent of CD in the 80's , and later the ability to copy them in your PC , would have rendered many cassette decks redundant , consigned to the attic etc.
The same rules apply though Nak , Teac , Sony generally lasted well.
You may not know that the largest part of Nak business was making cassette transports for the client market.
I'm sure that was the case but i was hoping someone made a decent deck after the turn of the century...It could well be that with the advent of CD in the 80's , and later the ability to copy them in your PC , would have rendered many cassette decks redundant , consigned to the attic etc.

I haven’t seen one and would assume if anyone in the world was still producing compact cassette recorder/players they would be very low end units similar to the last VHS decks that were produced before they became globally out of production.
I agree with the others... find another Nak.
