My question is, how much would it cost to replace the belt(s), and rebuild/replace the motor which operates the play/rewind/fast forward buttons on a nakamichi BX-300? Is it even possible to find replacement parts for one these days without buying another cassette deck and taking it apart? Thx ^_^   | ||

I'd want a floppy disk station too... Some really nice games and such there but luckily most of it can be dl'ed now. | ||

Although you might be able to improvise with a similar make of deck. mm, i guess that's the best option for me... I'm glad these things aren't $750 these days, lol | ||

Like, could I buy a bx-150 and use some of the parts for a 300 and vice-versa? I'm pretty sure it's possible since the topic was lightly touched already but I wanna be sure I'm not wasting my money.  | ||

Just curious… I bought a tape deck recently (~1980 Harman Kardon model) and one cassette-only release (MillionYoung's Be So True EP). The only other recent cassette-only release I'm aware of is Washed Out's High Times. | ||

The only other recent cassette-only release I'm aware of is Washed Out's High Times. The 2 tapes I own that are actually worth anything (anything being more than $40, to fans of the genre/artists) are Dreaming Muzak by Troum and Compositions For Cassette by Celer The former is ltd to 100 hand-numbered copies, packaged in a tiny little hand-made pillow case, originally released in 1998... My copy still has paper covering the reels which means it's either unplayed or the original owner replaced it. Looks real though. http://www.discogs.com/Troum-Dreaming-Muzak/release/489609 The ladder is ltd to 135 copies. It's been played before, though I'm not sure how many times. http://www.discogs.com/Celer-Compositions-For-Cassette/release/1612410 | ||
