Marantz PMD430

Out of interest, what did you guys pay for your PMD430s? The prices on fleabay are all over the place!

I bought it several months ago and dont remember how much i paid, probably around $650.

 

If i find another one (in same condition) will pay more to get it

 

I think the Naka 550 is better value for the money!

Please read a story of one of the best bootlegger of All time... Mike Millard

Extract:

Mike Millard tapes are considered some of the best live recordings of all time. They are so good, in fact, that even the bands themselves released his recordings officially.

Mike Millard used the Marantz also, but iT was not that good of the Nakamichi 550!!
He made over 1000 super live recordings.... So that man knows what he was doiing!!

 

I do not have this Nak 550 but i would love to buy one if i find a one with the box and all accessories in mint condition

 

I use mine with a pair of active speakers which have their own bass and treble controls.. works great. Marantz makes some really good decks, I still use a pmd340, 201 and 430 quite regularly for playback and recording from external source.

 

I have a NAK500.. they are truly a great playback deck. I have noticed that anything I record on the nak never sounds as good unless I play it back on a nak. For that reason, I use naks for playing only. I record on my Marantz if I need to make a mix tape.

 

Sorry for the crossposting, but I got a Marantz CP-430 (european version of the PMD-430) that I’d like to have serviced.

I try to contact the technicians mentioned in the forum faq but I haven’t got any answers yet, except from Dr.Walkman (but sadly he’s not accepting new works at the moment)

Any tips about reputable technicians in Europe or Italy?

Thanks!

 

Dude that looks so good nice find!

 

hello @rumorazzi
I think you should send it somewhere in Europe to get it serviced. Have you contacted anybody (apart from Dr Walkman)?
My best recommendation is to send it to @Sergi. He repaired some of my walkmans and I am extremely satisfied with his work.

 

Thanks,

I contacted @Sergi via message here and from his site and I’m still waiting for an answer.

I contacted @mihokm too (no answer yet)
And Superscope too (but they’re in the US)
