Finally!!!

I finally have a score to report;

Nakamichi 480---$20

This makes two, but this one works and runs/sounds excellent!.

The other I tried to restore as it was not working when I bought it. I replaced all the belts, idler and lights. It ran great for about three hours, then went dead. Lights up, tape turns but no sound and after a few minutes it shuts down. Have made several attempts to figure it out, to no avail. I guess it's now a parts machine to support the "new" deck?

Also picked up more albums;

Jeff Beck---Beck-Ola

Mott the Hoople---All the young Dudes

Donald Fagan---The Night Fly

Atomic Rooster---Made in England

$5 each at a local record store called "Vinyl Daze"
