The reason for not working is due to belts as well as DD Capstan Motor needed Cleaning and lubrication. Since I notice that any CR 7A that was not recently serviced and calibrated required complete Overall and re calibration including AD Converter. And Power Supply Capacitors fail in both CR 7A and CR 5A, i generally prefer replacing to avoid future failures. This machine required clean up of the Transport after complete dismantling, Belts change and alignment with Calibration of Meter/Playback/Record as well as Analog to Digital Converter adjustments were done. Additionally it is undergoing following work after verifying no repairs are not necessary, additional work ( replacing Capacitors) is performed for preventing Electronic failures and better quality of Sound. 1. Spool Drive was replaced with Gear Drive. This work is bit of expensive and necessary for any user to avoid once in two year replacing the idler tire. For High End Cassette Recorder ( CR 7A is one of the top three or four Cassette Decks ever produced). 2. Replacement of all Electrolytic Capacitors in the Power Supply including filter capacitors in Play/Record / Dolby NR Circuits3. Special Capacitor additions for lower noise and better Power Supply Filtering4. AD converter Calibrations 5. Complete Bias Record Calibrations ( notice the steps listed in the Service Manual)6. Extensive play / record play testing for minimum a week including continuous play for 24 hours. Nakamichi Cassette Recorder work requires Nakamichi Gauges/ Alignment Cassettes along with High Bandwidth DMM/ Nakamichi T100 analyzer. I also use Audio Precision for checking the Record Play bandwidth Since this Recorder now has the Gear Drive for Spool Drive it is a great advantage - not requiring Idler Tire changes every 2 years or so. Finally the Deck comes with Original Wireless RM 7C remote control for Arm chair remote to do everything including Play head azimuth control The cosmetic condition is very good - considering over 34 year lifeThe international shipping Cost depends on the Country and the rate shown is not correct.
