So, I have a lovely Nak MB-100, with the obligatory 'e mecha' error. The unit has been stored for about 6 years unused, I don't recall it having the error then, but I also though the illumination was green, and this one's amber (easily confused). Upon lifting the lid I see Base Systems (uk repair shop) have been in here in 2001 on behalf of BBG (I assume they were the Nakamichi UK distributor).
The unit behaves fine until you select a cd then you get the error.
The magnetic puck was stuck to the spindle, I've clipped it back on the holder.
CN107 has been fluxed up and resoldered
Other than that it looks very clean in there. The unit makes no attempt to load a cd or move any of the mechanism. The cd slot is blocked by the little tabs.
Any suggestions on where to start next?

The little tabs you refer to, are they metal?Can u post a pic of them.
From your explanation it sound like the carriage might be in a closed position eg (position with cd inside).

Sorry for the delay. This pic shows the tabs preventing a CD being inserted. The deck makes no attempt to move these when powered from what I have seen.
It's almost like the transport need resetting, there are no discs in the unit.
Is there a transport sensor (or many sensors) I need to check.
Is there a full service manual available for the unit anywhere?
