Nakamichi RX-202 vs BX-150e... which one?

[zunde]

I'm looking for a decent deck mainly for prerecorded playback- two head would be fine. I came across these two decks locally, both are $150. Both work perfectly according to owners. Which one would be the better choice? Thx

The autoreverse on the 202 is pretty cool!

I have one and it sounds great! If the features all work, that would be my pick.

PS- I was concerned about the mechanical autoreverse mechanism, but it's pretty easy to adjust and there are plenty of good resources online for service instructions and parts. Nakamichi has a solid following.

Can't go wrong with a Nak... their legendary reputation is well-deserved. I've told the Mrs. to bury mine with me...

Alrighty-- thanks for all the responses!

Is that the soundtrack to There Will Be Blood??

I dunno. I swiped the video from the interwebs!
