    Nakamichi MR-1 Motor Doesn't Spin...

    I recently acquired a Nakamichi MR-1 that needed a new belt. Once I replaced the belt, the motor stopped turning entirely.

    Diagnosing Nakamichi PA-7 Amplifier - Recap?

    I picked up a couple of Nak PA-7 STASIS amplifiers a while back along with a CA-5 and a CA-5II preamp. I put them in my main system one-at-a-time to see what each component would do to the sound. Well, the good news is that the first PA-7 does make sound. Although, I was initially impressed...
