[QUOTE="Agaton Sax, post: 869395, member: 2475"] The little I know: There were only the 2 models. They were built with outside help from either Micro Seiki or Teragaki-I forget which. The correcting mechanism can be notoriously unreliable for a Nakamichi which probably means only slightly less than bombproof by Western standards. The only one I ever came across, that was sold used, was by Roy Davis (now High End Audio) to an overseas buyer. In the early 80s South African audio was heavily influenced by British products and press. As the most jingoistic, malicious and plain worst magazine at the time, Popular Hi Fi, pronounced the (hugely expensive) Nakamichi to be worse that a Rega Planar 2 ,sales were probably not good. Make nothing of this, Popular Hi Fi also claimed that the freebie (AT sourced) Linn Basik cartridge was superior to the Koetsu. [/QUOTE]
