I'm sure this will cause some comments but here goes. I love the old sliding metal part transports, no plastic, in horizontal or semi horizontal decks. The 600s use one belt, one motor. I can get just as good W&F and speed accuarcy as any multi-belt, multi-motor transport. Yes, the electronics may not be as good but these machines are a cinch to align and are bullet proof. As much as I love them, they are just cassettes and I understand their limitations, still better than a lot of digital, that's why Nak 600s are just fine for me. My preference is the 600II, better head than a 600, easier to adjust and better user controls.The only down- side as with all older decks, you can't record on metal tape. No problem, I have a DR-8 That is working good, knock on wood. So that's my story.
