Here's a picture of where the part goes, but don't think this has anything do do with pinch roller? The pinch roller is pushed up by the head block, is the block moving fully upwards? Mine had this problem it was stopping about 5 mm short, this was sorted once I had cleaned and re-greased
thanks Dave, thats great. The heads all move up just fine, the pinch roller just doesnt move up with it and i just need to find out what moves it, can i have a front pinch roller shot too please? Really appreciate your effort thanks
Here's some close up shots of the pinch roller, it's actually the spring underneath that pushes it up as the heads rise, I've left these images full quality so you can zoom right in.
Your a legend Dave much appreciated. Looks like i have a missing spring. I thought i must of. So thankful for the pics as im bound to have a spring in my spares box
Thanks to Dave mine is now all fixed up, tapes play real well and im super happy. I owe you one Dave thanks
No problem glad I could help, this is one of the things S2G is for So what do think of your S892 now it's all up and running?
It's nice actually, its a good looking box and the deck is nice to use now its up and running properly. It does seem overly complex though and seems to lack the nice tactile feel you would get from a Sanyo deck of a similar ilk. The controls also feel a bit nasty, they have a cheap feel to them. Sound is good, radio pulls in stations really really strong, not much bass but its warm and doesn't seem like it would be to fatiguing to listen to. I love the LED meters and the fact that its 3 way. Perfect box for listening at 4/10ths i would say but its not a street blaster. Nice to own a Tosh though and glad its all working thanks to you
