In our military soldering tool boxes we always had the approved Ruby Red erasers (they are pink) which had the best characteristics for corrosion removal.

The Pratt overhaul manual has a complete listing of what is permitted... Sharpie markers are okay; others are not. Silver pencils, of a certain manufacturer etc. Everything that touches a part has to be approved.

We had one part here where a pen fell out of an inspector's pocket and left ink on a part- the pen and all the info we had on it had to go back along with the part for disposition. I think it ended up okay, but that could potentially scrap a part.

Belts arrived today. I'll get this back together later today, I guess.

Transport is back together:

Now the whole thing is together. I tweaked the door hinges so it’s not rubbing. No adjustment of the transport position with it screwed from all directions… seems to still sound fine but I’ll keep cleaning the heads.



Something interesting with the tape counter. In tape length mode it counts all the time. In elapsed time mode it only counts during play. If you FF the timer doesn’t run until you press play again. Thought it was broken but I guess that’s how it is.

Front face plastic cleaned inside and out. Also Re-glued as it fell apart. All lights and displays cleaned too. Tape well light seems brighter now to me.

Have to clean knobs and repaint the cover. It was painted black over the rust. I’ll see if I can find a gray tomorrow maybe. Then I’ll blast it and repaint using what we call the right way.

Do you have the means to do a full calibration jim?
I noticed the manual has decent instruction for adjusting all levels including for the DYNEQ feature.
W&F (JIS) a bit optimistic at 0.025% maybe (?)

Many are using NAKT100 software but fkd if I'm paying MS/Apple anything these days. I'm using the HansPeterRoth tapes, a few other gauges, WFGUI and a trusty old Tektronix scope. Get's the job done.
The HPR tapes are absolutely stellar items for what they cost and I would recommend them at the drop of a hat.

Nope.

Tested the remote and that works too.

Knobs won’t give you tetanus any longer.

Picked up some paint- test panel is drying now. Hopefully it’s close enough…
