Nakamich RX-505 Question

Thanks for the responses guys. I guess I'm more interested in selling it then than fixing it. I love tape also and listen to 15 ips 2 track tapes on a professional mastering deck.

The deck is in beautiful shape and plays great, it just won't flip sides.

Hello, My RX-505 plays fine but can´t flip. It´s probably a mechanical issue, a worn gear wheel perhaps.
The sound is quite amazing, it´s much better than digital IME: my 40+ years old c-cassettes outperform modern 24 bits digital in dynamics (musicality) but have more distortion although not intrusively. Digital is still dull after 30 years, it is progressing in tremendous velocity though.
Glad to meet another Nakamichi UDAR lover.

Dear Tonykay: My 700ZXL needs a tune-up. How pricey is the work of W.Hermann? Thank you.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.

Sorry, Raul, but I haven't revisited this thread in a long time. You can contact Willy at willy@willyhermannservices.com. Good luck. He's reasonable.

My RX-505 flips again with ease ! Maybe due to more often play nowadays. I think it simply likes to be played.
