The DR-10 was a 3-head cassette deck manufactured by the Nakamichi Corporation during the early 1990s. It employed the discrete 3-head design where the record and playback heads were physically separate to improve performance. This design also has the dual-capstan diffused resonance transport mechanism. The brochure literature above gives more information on its design features. The service manual will follow in the manuals section of this site.
