Dude, you're as old as I am! (Almost. I graduated in '74.) But obviously you were much more flush than me because there is NFW I could have *bought* the Sony reel-to-reel "videocorder" we had in high school... might have been the same model you show above!

I used one of those in an electronics summer camp one year (it was more of an A/V class). The teacher was really impressed with what I was doing, and let me take the camera and recorder home for a weekend. I shot about 20 minutes of b/w tape, narrating and all (I was probably 11?), and the instructor watched it and said that he would get it aired on the local cable TV (Wayne's World style!), but I never found out if they aired it.
I'd pay good money to have a copy of that tape now...

Yeah...We had one like it in Middle School too...That's where I got hooked on them...I bought it used...I'm thinking the one we had in school dated back to 1969...Because watch recordings of the moon landing on it.

Curt, have ya got anymore decent cassette decks at the moment?
I've got a bunch of cassette recordings of my old band that I want to re-transfer to digital.
There is a Nakamichi 582 on our local CL, anyone know what a reasonable price would be to offer on it?

UNless it's a Nak Dragon, it's a buyer's market more or less. I lucked out on this 700, it being in near mint shape. It could have as easily been a throwaway if the mechanism was toast.
Nak is out of business, so idler wheels and such are hard to find. I have nothing decent at the moment, my own Nak is dead on one channel the last time I went to use it. 
Keep in mind too that the latest generation of cassette decks really gave decent recordings. Sonys, Yamahas, etc all gave good quality recording and playback, so unless you recorded the tapes on super high end machines, I'm not sure that getting into high end Nak territory is going to do much for you.
I do have a JVC and a Yamaha double deck that I'd sell for $20 each. Dolby B and C, good frequency response, etc.

I have a Nak BX-150 that hasn't worked in ages. You hit play and the heads engage, then immediately release. It's like it thinks it's hit the end of the tape or something. I take it it's not worth trying to fix it?

I'd say either belts or a takeup idler. Check to see if the takeup reel turns as the unit tries to go into play. Chances are it isn't, which is stopping the playback.

What do you think shipping would run for either of those to Colorado (80015)?
