Tested it out and found the "Rew" didn't work and "Play" might be running a little fast (no tape). It was in nice condition otherwise, but I left it. Went yesterday and the Nak was still there with two knobs missing . WTF. Unless you have another Nak, why? It was only $7.99 and would've been worth parts if you had another. Number one reason why I was glad they brought the Mac out rather than have me wait and come back. Same thing happened to a Pioneer SX-780 last week though someone may have finally bought it.

It's like sticking your fingers in a pie and ruining it for everyone else. -------------------- What you got back home, lil' sister, to play yer fuzzy warbles on? Pitiful, portable picnic players? Come with uncle & hear all proper! Hear angels trumpets & devils trombones. You are invited!

Or sticking your finger in a woofer.

Nearby, I found the headshell and cartridge on the floor - it was an Audioquest moving coil. Needless to say, it now needed a retip. -------------------- Everything has a crack in it. That's how the light gets in.
