Help ID nakamichi tape deck

hey... i'm trying to identify a gigantic nakamichi cassette deck my father had around '83. if i remember correctly it was about 9 inches tall and had a mostly silver face with a black bottom (or vice versa?). there were no (or very few) buttons available to you unless you pushed a portion of the bottom piece and then that piece would sort of open up a la the doors of the old long-gone lime green briklin my father also had (i'm just realizing now dad was a swinger). anyway, after the bottom piece opened up you'd find all kinds of knobs and buttons. this is all from memory so i could be missing something major.

it's not the dragon, btw. the face place was solid and the colors were silver and black: that's really the extent of my knowledge.

as always, thanks everyone in advance!

It sounds/looks like the 1000 or the 700 model (both looked like that).

PS: Do a search on Ebay for a couple of weeks and you will probably come across a photo of it. I considered both of these models until I decided to just burn all of our old cassettes (on CD that is:-).

Kubla: I never owned the 700 or 1000 models which were out of my price range, but just wanted them because they looked cool. I did own the 600 (which was wedge shaped) and a 550 portable which I used to make demos. Another nice looking deck from that era was the Tandberg 310MkII which can also be positioned upright and which was not quite as good as the 600, but was still very close.
