![]() My audio tape cassette storage problem has been bugging me for quite some time now. Regardless, I’m happy with my fix and how it now operates.īefore I screwed the back cover on I also added a tiny bit of silicone grease to the other gear wheels just to help keep them lubricated. However given how everything else fits together perfectly I figured the part needed re-designing slightly for a better fit. Possibly if I’d persevered a little longer with the file I could have got the original part to work. I also had to enlarge the bearing recess slightly with a Dremel so the bearing would still fit inside. In the end I reprinted the part scaled down slightly to 98% which allowed the spool to spin freely. I tried shaving/filing plastic from the cog teeth, adding a drop of oil to the bearing and adding a little silicone grease to the teeth but none of this really helped. There was too much friction with the spool and it wasn’t turning freely. I did have one issue at this point when putting everything together. There was a fair amount of tension here with the clutch being pulled over to one side, however once the lid goes on and the pegs slot into the bearing top and bottom, it sorts itself out. The belt went in next and simply needed stretching around the clutch and pulley 2. If you’d like to get hold of one for yourself then head on over to The Shareware PLUS Commodore 64 & 128 Blog and and grab one. I had a lot of fun playing around with this little accessory and the included 10 games too. This is definitely something I’ll have a play around with when I have a spare moment in the future. TAP files into digital WAVE files and then burning those to an audio CD would work. I would think using something like TapWav to convert C64. Being able to select which program to load by using the > buttons on the CD player is far more convenient than using FF/RW on a Datasette so it’s shame there aren’t more compilation CD’s like this.Īlthough there’s only ten games on the CD there’s no reason why you can’t create your own CD compilations. This is a great little device once you’ve spent some time tweaking the sound levels. Leaderboard Golf (Access, golf simulation),ġ4 to 20. Fist II – The Legend Continues (Melbourne House),Ĩ. David’s Midnight Magic (Broderbund, flipper),Ĥ. I am going to leave the past behind and hopefully SACD will be a good thingHere’s a complete rundown of the CD contents:Ģ. Update : as of today i have made my peace with god, and god bless all those little children and their backsides! Hell, hell,hell and all damnation be poured on me, and to add insult to injury i gave the cassette collection to snotty children who would not have known the difference between cassettes and their backsides! Retail price in Germany in 1988 was: 2500,- DM Total Harmonic Distortion: less than 0.8% Motors: Belt Drive: brush less, schliz-free, nuclear-free DD FG Servo Motor (Capstan Drive) x 1, Mechanics: DC motor (cam driven) x 1 DC-motor Heads: 3 (erase head x 1, Recording x 1 header, playback head x 1) Nakamichi CR-5, Cassette Tape Deck, very rare!!! I need to clean it proper, demagnetise the head and run a few of my fav tapes this week. This was the ultimate machine for recording and playback and represents the heyday of Nakamichi. The Head is solid attached to the mechanism. The only drawback I think is the lack of Azimuth adjustment. I like its fine and musical character and a warm sound presentation. It can generate a 400Hz tone for accurate bias, rec level and IM elimination. And it was possibly the first cassette deck to offer a flat 20Hz-20kHz response on standard tape at 0.09%. Its got two massive motors for operation. They help to dampen the travel mechanism. Closes and opens like a Mercedes door with a solid thunk. The Cassete tape compartment seems to be milled out of single piece of aluminium ingot. All aluminium pressure die casting and solid metal construction. ![]()
