Already rebuilt this one awhile ago, figure put pictures up for those that are interested.

 

Bought this one off eBay a while ago, was suppose to be already restored and serviced. Seller had good feedback, so no reason think twice. Needed it for the pitch control feature and the fact that it still a good three head dual capstan deck, so paid $225 as it was not for resell, but was going to be put to use, so price wasn't bad, if it was in the condition, it was suppose to be in. Turn out to made a grinding sound and won't play when receive it, so look to see what was causing the issue and found the ider tire assy was broken and the idiot never even used the right tire, someone try cutting a washer to fit over and badly cut. So open a claim as couldn't get a hold of the seller, then he responded and I told him the poor job done and that the deck was broken and that their was also some deep scratches, that he failed to mention in description, that I wanted a full refund and cost to ship it back, then he said he would discount the price, as he didn't want it back. So ended up getting it for $50 bucks, took the ider plastic assy arm out of a bx-1 order new rubber kit and rebuilt the transport with new rubber belt and correct tire, then did a alignment.

 

Worked great, but ended up selling it, due to the deep scratches and wanted one in clean condition. Just won another one a day ago that suppose to be in mint condition no scratches and was working last time before being stored away and only been use a couple of time, but AS-IS untested, as "no amplifer to test it excuse", will see how this one turn out, but expect it going to need tire, belt and maybe capacitors, to bring it back to specs, as it going to be a keeper and used as my main workhorse deck.
