Thanks for the video. I've had mine for about 4 years sitting around since I found it at a thrift store for $23. I found a CR-5A last year for a nice price (not $23 nice, but about times ten that) so I let it sit some more. I happened upon your video last month and finally said what the hell, let me try and see if I can finally find the right belts, it was hard to find a reliable source for a while. I tackled a Sony and the CD1 all today and they both work nice. The Sony is a flip, the Nak is a keeper. Unless I decide to sell the CD1 or the CR-5.
hi over there! cool video! One question here, the value on the capacitor those blue one. On my nakamichi cassette deck 1 i only see VX (M) and under that c 85 i can't find the exact value online. can you help me on this?. have a great day over there and thanks for uploading this video! kind regards Jan from Sweden..
As I stated in the video, they are exactly the same deck with the only diiferences are the Gold plated RCA inputs/outputs and the Azimuth control in the front of the deck. The belts are the same, as the mechanism is exactly the same.

Ah fantastic! And thanks again for the great video. Now I’ve just gotta find somewhere that has those belts.
@@sorrycharlie1736 where do you live?! On EBay you can find the belts for your cassette deck 1.5.
Oh great thanks I’ll try that. I’m in Australia
