Step up from Nakamichi 582 tape deck?

That would appear to be a pretty fair price for one that has already been Hermanized.

People are asking more for ones that may need work.

I had same dilemna when picking a Pioneer r2r, I bought cheap and got problems. Then I bought a fully restored, recapped, set up unit for a lot more but what a difference. Well worth it.

Now I am looking at a zx-7. lol, it never ends!

The only "bad" thing is that WH won't transfer the warranty, but hopefully it will last years without needing it!  I do think I got a good deal based on the rebuild and am planning on using it a lot.  Many albums to record! 

680zx or 682zx would be a good step up from a 582.a zx7 is a step up again from the 680 series.i went from a 582z to zx7.

I am seriously considering a zx7 mainly due to bad luck run twice!

I purchased a 682 from ebay and it got lost by Fedex after they could not deliver it the first try as I was not in to sign . Then it was simply never seen again and Fedex after 3 weeks admitted they had no clue where it went, I got my money back from seller and hopefully they did from Fedex.

Second I then bought a 680 from ebay and this arrived safe and sound but just did not work correctly as advertised at all. So this was returned for a full refund.

In twenty years of dealing on eBay I have never had such a run of bad luck but stuff happens.

So now looking at upping the ante to a zx7 .

Maybe.......

Nak poker.  First you get thieved then you get lied to.  If you are lucky one of two people in the world will fix it for big $$ while you wait many moons.
