Interesting, I'll try that on the next switch that needs cleaning.

Interesting, I've never seen such markings on fuses before, I've thought that was small 5x20 or 6x32mm glass fuses. And for more confusion I've seen in a tutorial the 11A fuse with green markings labelled as fast blow, in France the slow blow fuses have green markings and the fast blow fuses...

That's confusing, 440mA & 11A is more realist. I suppose the 10 & 17kA interrupt ratings makes them specific and hard to find.

The endless stupidity of some guys on F'assbook groups...

Interesting, I've always thought that CDpower was the American version of the CDingII. Anyway the 110 version couldn't be SA-X tape as the longest lenght of them was 100.

Yes you should change the reel tables tires, they usually goes bad after 40 years. To get access you'll need to disassemble the whole cassette door. For the capstan belt it's more complicated as you need to separate the front and rear transport chassis. Mark the position of the play solenoid and...
