Anybody familiar with the Tandberg TD 310 Cassette

I'm looking for a good cassette player. A Tandberg TD 310 is available for a pretty good price- much less than the Nakamichi's I've seen. Any advice?

If I wanted it & KNEW it was in good shape, I wouldn`t hesitate.

The sound was quite good but it became fussy to maintain speed and with more time, the unit's auto-stop would constantly kick in. I suspected the life of the motor(s) was coming to an end. To have this repaired would have ended up costing more than the less expensive Nakamichi that replaced it. These units go way back and if the one you seek has anything more than just an occassional use, I would be careful at how much you spend. Anything beyond $100 or so these days for such an old deck really makes little sense. Just my 2 cents. John

The deck is selling for $75 which seems ok. The seller says it only needs a general cleaning plus having the belts refreshed and cleaned (not sure what that means). Maybe I should go for a Nak instead?
