Nakamichi DR-10 Cassette Deck Repair


I am the original owner of a Nakamichi DR-10 Cassette Deck. This unit has been sitting idle (indoors, climate-controlled environment) for a decade or more. I recently connected it to my stereo system, and attempted to play (several) tapes. As soon as I push the Play button, it stops; i.e.: it will not play the tape. The Fast Forward and Rewind both work. QUESTIONS:
  • Any ideas re: how to fix this issue?
  • Any suggestions re: repair services?
Thank you in advance.

if you have no experience forget it, diy can lead to endless disappointments.
Yes, Naktalk@lists.naks.com, still somewhat active. The knowledgable ones do respond.
Nowadays everything on youtube, try to find what you are looking for
That's true about youtube, but the REALLY good Nak guys don't post on youtube. The super Nak's like Willie are too busy with their grandkids.
