I have an N1502 and an N1700/

The last time I fired the 1502 up, about ten years ago, the mechanical stuff worked but there was poor frame lock and if I remember correctly the head motor or it might have been the capstan seem to be hunting. My days of attempting a repair are past, so it there is anyone who restores these I'd be interested. I have some old tapes recorded on the 1502 which I'd like to play but I believe the 1700 is not able to do this. Hence if anyone is interested in the 1700 as parts or repair, message me.
