Nakamichi
481 Cassette Deck, JAPAN: Professionally serviced and calibrated to
factory specifications by a long-standing private collector of Nakamichi
decks who is a perfectionist when restoring them. Includes NEW Capstan
Motor Upgrade!
I am the original owner. This deck is in TOP working condition,
following the recent full service and calibration. There should be absolutely no
surprises, hidden defects or parts to change etc. It's ready to go!
!! The unique feature of this particular deck is it's recently UPGRADED CAPSTAN DRIVE MOTOR. The original did not keep correct speed and that is now solved!!
All critical parts were inspected, thoroughly cleaned and replaced or rebuilt, as necessary.
Repairs and improvements that have been made to this deck:
*Cleaned and lubricated noisy input level potentiometers *Cleaned heads and pinch rollers, demagnitize
*Mechanism was aligned (play, record heads, erase head) *Lubricated flywheel thrust plate *Cleaned old oil from capstan bearings and relubricated
*Checked playback head height
*Changed capstan motor belt
*Changed more/control motor belt
*Changed Counter Belt
*Changed Auto Shut Off Belt *Original capstan motor would not keep proper speed. Changed motor and rechecked tape speed = OK. *Playback levels were calibrated
*Meter levels were calibrated to show Dolby level at 0db. *Did a rough recording bias and level calibration for each tape type (Normal, High Bias and Metal Bias)
*Wow and flutter now falls within spec.
The end result of this labor of love is one phenomenal sounding deck! ALL functions have been FULLY tested and verified to ensure that all operates exactly as it should.
