Hi All, I recently purchased the subject DAT unit but it looks like a few of the tape return gears have broken per attached pictures. Does anyone have a great way of either sourcing new gears or at least some solution to fixing my unit? It's part 161, it's labelled as “x-3373-742-1 limitter (mg) assy” in the service manual per attached pictures. Any advice/support is greatly appreciated. Thanks Sonny
Hi, The TCD-D100 is one of the most difficult models to repair because of this gear. I also have a few of these units and it is a question of time, until these gears break. Maybe Sebastian from https://www.proaudio-revival.com/ can help you. Be very careful, the electronics is electronics are very sensitive to short circuits and static electricity. Good luck.
