Judging from the lack of comments, it seems you're right Steven -- no-one is interested :-)Having said that, there are a bunch of Nakamichi Dragons on Ebay at the moment (one for $13 (!): http://cgi.ebay.com/Nakamichi-Dragon-Cassette-Player_W0QQitemZ180464817585QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH ), but having owned a Nak in the 1980s beware the ever-turning capstans. I didn't know these puppies constatntly revolved when not playing, and was suprised to find my expensive cassette deck motors worn-out in a year of little or no use.Anyway, here's to Ebay and out-of-fashion audio equipment -- I just picked up a Denon DVD-1600 DVD-A player with Burr-Brown DAC for $5.50 -- I'm one of those fruitcakes who listens to home-made, MLP'd, dual-layer DVD+R DLs with ~ 13 GB of uncompressed redbook audio on them (about 500 tracks per disc): DVD blanks $1.50 ea., DVD-A player $5.50.SweetDave
