One of my favorite tape decks. I like playing it, and watching peoples reaction when the tape flips.

Here's a video of the flipper in action.

It's an excellent deck. I almost bought one recently.
(I have a ZX-9 I bought about 10 years ago, which is on it's way back from Willie Hermann as we speak).
But I ended up buying this
The price was right, the cobdition - mint, Willie himself blessed the buy having said he prefers them that way.
Honestly I was hunting for CR-7A but decided this would do
I needed a deck for my second system

I am pretty sure for writing ZX9, CR-7A and Dragon are the same as all allow azimuth adj.
I think for playback RX-505 is as good.
I still want it, if only to see the UDAR in action. But the prices for Naks went up twice to trice within 10 years passed. Shoulda bought it when first thought of it.

The flipper is cool and I cringe thinking of ever having to repair that mechanism!

Sad news....my ZX-9 came from Willie damaged. I first noticed a small shiny aluminum smush at the front top corner, then hoping that would be the extent of it tried to put a cassette in the bay....the bay door came out broken on the left side.
Willie said he insured it....hope for enough money. It's only good for parts now.
