I've made a little (nearly an hour ) video on the basics for restoring a typical RQ-SX model. Specifically my pristine RQ-SX55. I haven't done...
Hi all, I was restoring a Panasonic RQ-SX60V last night and the final step was to tweak the speed adjustment as it was running a little slow. On...
I've got one. Just got it working today. It says "Twin Rotor Motor" on outside and inside. No mention of Silent Mechanism.
I finally go round to cataloging how I got from purchase to where I am now with my WMII. Well nearly, I've not included the latest Capstan work....
Capstan is now fitted, thanks @Cassette2go it was a great recommendation. Now its playing smoothly with no wobble. All thats left now is to fix...
Well my "little" parcel arrived and I almost threw the capstan out because it was packaged so tightly in amongst all the other packaging. 39...
So it turned out my capstan on my original unit was perhaps slightly bent at the flywheel end. So the FB replacement part worked but there was...
Are you just moving the washers up the capstan slightly to gain access? Cool if that's the case. I've ordered a small syringe for applying oil...
Presumably neither method will be easy with the RQ SX models with the capstan rubbers? Risk of damaging them when lifting up the top washer has...
Out of interest how do you lubricate the capstans... Doesn't appear to be an easy way.
I have a RQ SX25, one of which I originally owned back around 1998, I picked one up, changed the belts and fitted the quality brass clutch...
Isn't checking its as close to 3000Hz enough when testing the player?
This is absolutely what I will do once I'm happy my units won't chew up tapes.
Yeah it does seem that's the case, not really many button combos you can make with 3 buttons and I think I've tested them all. Doesn't appear to...
I recently picked up and repaired an SX73 for £20 but some its features, XBS, Dolby can only be activated with the remote so I'm looking for an...
I'm quite pleased with how well this unit is performing, I paid £20 with a suspect broken belt, and it was just gunk. Shame a wrecked two of the...
Is it possible to access XBS or Dolby NR & features like loop playback etc when you don't have the remote control plugged into models like the...
I'll start by saying I'll probably buy a decent made up cassette at some point. But rather than risk a good one in a just fixed cassette I made...
This particular unit doesn't play or rewind. Well it does play but only for 3-5 seconds before jamming up. I asked the seller for...
I'll put that to the seller. I've initially asked to return in on basis its not as described. I expect some push back because they listed as...
Separate names with a comma.
