What are you guys talking about? The Dragon, if I remember correctly, did not "flip". The flipping models were post Dragon and much cheesier. Maybe you are watching too many reruns of Micky Rourkes bachelor pad scene in nine and a half weeks? In any case, with or without flip, the Dragon was a beautifully made machine, state of the art at the time and well worth keeping for emotional if not sonic reasons.
Nakamichi Dragons worth the fix?
I have bought a Nak Dragon from an auction, which the shipper has claimed to be in fine shape. When it came to my door, something had happened to it, either the gorillas from UPS or a untrusworthy seller. My question is, is the deck worth fixing and keeping or would it better leave it as a learning lesson to never trust anyone again at auctions or at places like Audiogon? I saw the problem, the inside plastic skeleton that holds the Nak tape deck drawer together and aligns it properly is cracked...I realize that the technician who has to fix this will spend SOME hours changing this part, which is tangled up with wires and switch connections galore. What is your take on this puzzling problem? PAUL
