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!

Hey Kubla, I have a Dragon and some pictures of the deck you want. Give me a week and my daughter's art talents and I'll have it looking just like what you want. It will cost you $1000 for the deck and another $5000 for the make-up and I will even pay shipping costs. Still a Nak. to the core! Interested?????
Well, she's on the run from two college loans and still got into a third ( RISD ) and works miracles with plastic and metal. I think we are up to any kind of half-baked money making scheme...uh, I mean business venture, we can find. Tell you what. I'll even throw in a perfect cassette recorded by yours truly of the first Live Dead album from a Nak. turntable direct to this deck, with no vinyl flips to interrupt the perfect synergy of the music. Come-on, you gonna bite or not?
Note: most of the above statement is true. Some parts may have been altered to protect the innocent.
