@Valentin , "Yes, yes, and yes" on every comment you've made. I prefer to follow the Lissajous Curve to achieve a straight line (In Phase),...
@Valentin I completely agree with you about the differences between Azimuth misalignment and instability issues. Also, you have 1000 times more...
You are welcome! Since you are into this stuff, you will never regret having all the right tools for the job. This is the set I've got and I...
I mentioned HH and HT because they do affect azimuth. However, if you are certain nobody tinkered with the factory head setting, I would not mess...
Head tilt and head height can also affect this significantly. Do you adjust it by ear or use an oscilloscope and an azimuth 10 kHz tape?...
Valentin, thank you for your advice. I ordered the new gear replacement and will keep you updated on the progress as the parts arrive. A side...
Valentin, thank you once again. I checked on eBay and saw that the supply of potential donor units is scarce. So I will keep my eyes peeled but...
Thank you, Valentin. It is a high frequency tick, about 180 ticks/minute. So I will have to look for a donor unit, I suppose. Unless you know a...
No, I did not, and I do not intend to. Marian has helped me a lot in the past with other very hard-to-find supplies that saved my 'precious'...
Valentin, I tinkered with it more: more cleaning pinch rollers, and capstans, re-lubed the flywheels. Things improved, but not perfect. I also...
Valentin, thank you for your feedback and ideas. I appreciate it! The two that are placed on the upper side of the bushing, the brown colored...
Valentin, Here is the abysmal W & F. The first image is FWD play - very bad, speed is slower and also 4% range; the other one is REV - 1% range,...
Valentin, everything is rotating freely, with no sticky points. Naturally, without a cassette tape, it is practically feather-light. The cassette...
Valentin, Thank you for your expert advice and insights. I examined all the gears for cracks or wear. Fortunately, everything seems to be in...
Hello folks, I just finished servicing my GX-670 that was stuck in the endless auto-reverse loop and lost its FF-REW abilities. I took it...
@Valentin Thank you for your feedback and expertise. I am just about to start working on it and hopefully can bring it back to life.
My much newer Sony WM-GX670 (I think it was a 2003 release) struggles with the endless auto-reverse loops. I think it aged much quicker than your...
This is a very cool mod and a clever design. Thanks for posting! I look forward to the next mod you mentioned in the video about retrofitting a...
I was under the impression that he was in NY. 'Hifirulezz' sure does an excellent work on decks with a Revox deck being his only failed repair....
@Mystereo Congrats - this is quite an achievement. The completeness of your collection is extraordinary and unique, as well as your commitment to...
