Nakamichi BX-150 Cassette Deck Ultimate Upgrade Kit Genuine Parts Restoration

Description: While our kit replaces all electrolytic and tantalum capacitors in this Nakamichi deck, some Nakamichi's have "orange cap disease" that this kit does not address. Nakamichi used a bad batch of polypropylene orange caps at one point. While a problem in the decks that used them, it is far from universal. If your deck has them, you may need to replace those as well. Again, this is NOT a problem with every Nakamichi deck or even every deck of a particular model. This kit restores and upgrades this deck. Wima Film Caps are used to replace all caps of 4.7uf or smaller. All other electrolytics are replaced with high quality Nichicon UKW or Panasonic FC caps. Superior to other kit suppliers (Wima film caps sound better, transistors replacing known problematic one's) our kit will bring out the best in your deck! Pictures show the Mother board and power supply board replacement parts, parts for all other boards are included as well. Parts are bagged by board The kit replaces electrolytic and tant caps with high quality new ones sourced via reputable USA distributors like Digikey and Mouser. Most caps are Nichicon high quality UKL and UPW capacitors, we also sometimes use Panasonic FC caps for filtering in spots. All new caps will be the same capacitance as the originals with voltage ratings at least as high as the originals and oftentimes higher. Any capacitor of 4.7uf or lower is replaced with a high quality Wima film caps for better sound and reliability. Transistors are also sourced the same way and almost all are highly reliable on-semi devices. Not all (not even most) transistors get replaced, just those that time and collective knowledge have shown to be either noisy, unreliable or at the edge of their operating ability. The individual doing the work should be competent with a soldering gun, multimeter, reading a schematic etc. I am not a tech, but I have successfully done hundreds of restorations over the last 20 years. Many of the parts lists for these kits were compiled when we restored units, others are sourced from the service manuals (digital download included in purchase if you don't know how to source it). We have compiled parts lists for well over 200 units for units from Marantz, Technics, Pioneer, Sansui, Harman Kardon, etc. We do not sell kits for tube gear currently. If the service manual is wrong (it does happen) we will ship you out the correct parts free of charge. The same is true if we make a mistake in compiling the kit ( I hope not but just in case). We want this process to go smoothly for you. Included is a two page instruction/guidance sheet with some helpful hints. It is not a step by step guide. But, with it, the service manual, our part number labeled parts list you will have everything you need to get the job done. The kit will ship (usually the next day) via USPS First Class with tracking. We have bought in bulk hoping to provide the community with an easy, time and cost effective solution. Any feedback on how to do that better is appreciated. Thank youPlease Note: As mentioned above, our kits replace electrolytic and tant caps only. ________More Details____ Quality PartsAll signal path caps 4.7uf or lower are replaced by sonically superior film caps, most by WimaAll transistors are made by OnSemiElectrolytic caps are primarily Nichicon.
