Here are my 2 Nakamichi LX-5 cassette decks. Both restored & fully functional. New belts, replaced bulbs, lubed, all electronics checked, failing electronics replaced & everything cleaned up. Best of all they sound fantastic. These are big bulky, heavy looking cassette decks but they're both built like tanks. It's cool is I have 2 Nakamichi LX-3's fully restored with new belts as well. One of my Nakamichi MR-2's could not be repaired. That sucked but I still have two fully restored working Nakamichi MR-2's. Ths old gray Werewolf did good.

What electronics needed replacing on yours?
 
Hi Sinder, apologies, I have been away for a while.. Yes, its a real time counter in all 3 speeds, I built it ages ago using discrete CMOS logic chips and a rotary encoder for up/down count.. Unfortunately it does not keep counter memory on power off. I then redesigned it using a pair of Maxim MX7217C's just for kicks, but of course I imagine that redesigning it now with updated microprocessors and some code would be easier (I just have no idea how to...:))
Hello, just take Copilot in Edge: just ask him what you want to do.

I tried it today by chance and was highly amazed. My ad runs on an Amtel. I had asked for an Arduino. Go ahead and be amazed.
 
A TEAC A6600 that I am working on resurrecting with a few modifications.
On the second picture you may see why I got it for cheap. And on the third one the way it should be.
