Mine is supposedly shot and needs to be replaced. The repair shop, Just Audio in Baltimore, said they are no longer being made and to come pick my CR-7A up as they can't fix it.
There is zilch reason to record cassettes in 2020. I just bought a mint Optimus dual well double auto reverse deck for playing my 90's mix tapes for $20 on Offer Up. Again. Why oh why?
Contact Willy Hermann. He had a graveyard of Nak parts last time I was there. You should find his contact info on the net. The CR-7A was a Nak worth repairing. Pay no attention to detractors!
I already contacted him and have my deck on his schedule to get it refurbished/repaired. He said he doesn't have one but I have a feeling it is because they are getting so scarce. He may have to start scavaging from donor decks in the near future. That same Reel Motor Assembly fits a bunch of Nak machines and might be worth someone making new replacements.
