Nak 680

Found one so far am highest bidder. I like the 2 speed part. Just watching a couple others.

I have a few of these. I like this deck better than the 682ZX. The electronics are older. Good luck. With Phoenix metal running at 1/2 speed, you can listen to 3 hours of music on one c-90.

Good luck Larry, I hope you win it, the half speed is a neat trick, and I've heard it doesn't effect the SQ all that much.

Went for 108.00 I was no where near that high. On auctions I always bid low unless I'm being mean and running up the bid. Scratch that I have never played how high will you go. LOL

Oh well...

$108 isn't that bad, but who knows how high the winning bidder was going to go, it's all a crap shoot

 

[speakerman1]

I have played for hours to loose by 0.50.

If I really want it I never bid.I'll snipe it.

That was a good price. I consider the 680 a better deck than the 682, for a number of reasons. I like the manual record azimuth...less stuff to fail. I like that there are no orange cap failures, and, I like the political reality that Philips sued Nak to force them to discontinue selling 1/2 speed decks.

 

[stuwee]

Really? Because they wanted to sell more tape?

Really? Because they wanted to sell more tape?

I believe that had to be the reason. Philips had no problem with all the double-speed machines. Nak's half speed would have been a killer feature in a Dragon!

Or a 3 3/4 option
