I, too was a Nakamichi freak in the 70's owning one of their model 700(couldn't afford the 1000) cassette decks. Later, found a pair of Nakamichi SP-400 car speakers at a local dealer's yard sale weekend for $200 and couldn't get the bucks out quick enough. Mounted them in the front door kick panel of my 79 loaf and they were awesome. They lasted a long time but eventually the cone rings died and eventually I sold the van to get my 90GL (RVC). I still have the magnets for the Nakamichi sub woofers I bought a little after the SP 400's. No sense having a magnetic parts tray in the shop when you can use a piece of audio history to do the same job...........
