Hello Folks,
Well I finally acquired the long awaited 630 FM Tuner Preamplifier to complete a System-One Rack. It has been a long time coming, as they are very hard to come by, and especially finding one that is in good condition.
The SR-100 System One Rack was developed by Nakamichi Research to house its line of wedge shaped 600 Series components that was a popular design phase in the mid to late 70’s. All of the components could be displayed separately, housed vertically in separate WC-600 Walnut Cabinets, or for the true audiophile, housed in the SR-100 Rack.
The entire system comprised of the SR-100 Rack which included a modified DS-200 Program Timer, 600 Cassette Console, 610 Control Preamplifier, 620 Power Amplifier, and 630 FM Tuner Preamplifier. There is also an additional component that could be added, the RM-610 Remote-Control, to make use of the 610’s ability to switch between 3 sets of Speakers or Amplifiers.
You could also opt for the High Powered version, which eliminated the 610 Control Preamplifier and added an additional 620 Power Amplifier and BA-150 Bridging Adapter, which pushed the output from 100 to 350 watts. Since I have two of the SR-100 Racks, I am now going to work on completing this version as fellow Aker beemer has done, but with a 600II Cassette Console instead of the 600.
I spent the evening last night finally running everything through its paces. Except for burnt out meter bulbs in the 600/610 and tuner dial indicator light out on 630 everything works flawlessly and sounds outstanding. I never tire of listening to the 600 cassette and believe it to be one of the best 2-Head decks ever produced. I had planned to complete repair of the lamps on the others once I completed the entire system. BTW, this rack also has the additional rare Turntable Platform.
Here are a few links on information on the System-One;
