Nakamichi System One Rack...just given to me

[alsayre]

Hello all!
First time poster.
I was just given an Nakamichi System One rack.
I know next to nothing about these, but luckily I've got a few friends here in Austin that know about them.
Looks like the cassette deck will need the most tic, but everything else looks great, just dusty.
The tuner dial seems to need recalibrated/fixed.
I just wanted to post with the two photos I have of it before I picked it up and ask about repairs, desire for these
Thanks all!

Wow, I haven't seen one of those in over a week! A friend has one in his shop, waiting on a date with the tech.
From what I've been able to gather, it's a pretty respectable system....

Wow, nice gift. It's defenetly worth having it worked on.

It just amazes me how freaking huge it is. Pair it with a pair of Maggie's and have a "Wall of Sound" all your own.

A very nice gift none the less.

It's really not as big as it looks, in person.....

Wow -- what luck you have

You will find a lot of knowledgeable help here -- so once you figure out what needs attention, post details and photos.

Welcome to AK -- with that System One you will fit right in; and answers you will find!

Looking forward to see your progress..

If I remember correctly that tape deck is a Nak 600 -- lets see how good my memory is...

Best of luck -- (looks like you already have that). LOL

It’s actuallly surprisingly not big at all.
I thought it would be before I picked it up and it fits very snug in its spot. Only like 18 inches wide by like 4 1/2 feet tall.

Here she is after I unloaded it.
Dusted and wiped her off.
It hasn’t been turned on in over 30 years.
I plugged it in, everything came on and works. Cassette deck needs the most work.
Radio I can faintly hear.
Listening to my test speakers through Bluetooth on it right now.
Sounds amazing.
