Something that I want to add in regard to re-assemblying these coreless motors is they need to be adjusted after they're put back together. One...
Yes, it is good practice to adjust at the center of cassette, but not critical. Going by the book can be very important in some cases, where...
The exact frequency and level of speed calibration tape is not important (you can use either 3000Hz or 3150Hz). Every service manual will list the...
First of all, I think the market is no longer based on demand vs. supply, rather it's driven by demand only, sometimes even by perceived demand....
What confused me was this, as you stated you pushed the PLAY button, given you were supposed to test the motor out of the circuit, so the PLAY...
You connected what to a battery ? It's completely unclear what you did exactly. What I stated is the white and red wires are the power to the...
First of all, try to rotate the motor by hand and see if it turns freely. If it does, you can test it using a bench power supply or even a AA...
In regard to lubrication, there's really nothing complicated: - for the gears that drive the reels you need to remove the metal plate between the...
This suggests tape curling occurs at the pinch roller, creating azimuth instability. It can be caused by an imperfect alignment either of the...
It's ok to scratch it with fingernail, it's not that sensitive. Yes, ideally if the surface is perfectly smooth you won't feel anything with your...
Polishing doesn't hurt the head and it would be needed anyway in my opinion even if part of that corrosion cleans off with vinegar because the...
There's one thing which is unclear: how deep does the corrosion go. If it's just surface, a polish alone might be able to get rid of it....
In regard to the supply in the first post, what AC voltage do you get at the output of transformer ? Maybe someone plugged it into a 240V outlet...
As it has been mentioned already, make sure the belt is the correct one for this model. I recommend this one:...
As I mentioned already, I use small THT capacitors (4 x 7mm or smaller) instead. Don't have a part number for the rectangular ones and I think...
@dom69 I think it's best to buy a kit and replace the E-clip with a new one, as Chris_D has already suggested. A quick look at the suggested...
It can't be removed, unless you destroy one side of that pin and the find another solution to hold it. But wouldn't recommend this. Rather, I...
Not aware of that entire pulley being available for sale. The idler itself might be available by dimension, but you need to measure it first....
I use either a small pair of pliers of a small flat screwdriver while keeping the sides of it with 2 fingers in order not to fly. It's better to...
I flattened it out by simply bending it in the opposite direction beyond the point it was straight. Done this quite a few times until I was...
