I have to say that the transformer may be the least of his worries and before putting money into this project a Technician might want to use a DC supply first to determine if all else survived this mistake- It is very likely that a new transformer will not make any difference. The single plug...

I have to say that Pioneer are not he best decks I have worked on but they are still pretty good in respect to what you can get out of them and we now have new heads that can be put into them but I may be figuring out a way to get Pioneer heads into the regular Teac mounts- still working on it...

The standards such as Maxell XS and the TDK MA. The Teac metal tapes are filled with Maxell XS tape as compared and examined color wise. Print level is indicated by a o VU specified input level recording as with a Maxell XL II or TDK, then switching to tape and seeing the print level. In decks...

Yes, The D of TDK was a normal standard but the Maxell XL I S beat it as the best Normal tape. Still a china made TDK C-90 was tested not too many months ago and it was 1 dB lower print than the TDK D that I have here in stock. So changes happen but they don't tell you about them. The TDK SA and...

I also have here a GX-625 that he dropped off. I will have to see what he did to it as his A3300 was pretty worn down head wise. It still works but the head are about 80% worn down which is why I am looking to fit the pioneer heads in there.

Do not make decision in haste and I would get rid of the Akai as there will never be heads for those while the two Teac decks I will have something to put in there. People think those heads will last forever in the Akai and I have already seen in the GX-635D heads that were terrible in response...

Tape can be evaluated on a bench where calibration is done on decks. You can compare a good tape with these new offerings and find out what you really have there. Some stores used to sell cassette tapes for as little as $.30 but this was cut up computer tape I suspect. So far the worse tape I...

Yes, Why not as some people never use their scope from one service to another and in that case a cover would be a good idea.

Well to add if anyone is still looking at this- I have a RT-707 for sale with recap, new brakes new belt and meter lamps changed and LED direction indicators. It is a consignment so he wants $1050. It was adjusted to MDS36 tape. It works great and I have pictures plus 2 more came in but it will...

The thing is that after you buy and set up a scope you never need it again. If you are a Radio Engineer that travels with one them that would be a good reason but most others? I am sure I have covers here somewhere just like those.

I would want to record on one to evaluate it so that to find out if it is not that Korean Chrome tape of BASF that would not sell in the 80's. There is a lot of junk tape out there like NAC 799. You have to look more for the good stuff as the junk is right in your face most the time.

8 Track was never state of the Art as it was horrible it's whole existance. Machines with no pinch roller and cartridges with plastic roller in them and lubricated tape that is very dirty. If you want to find a format that is the worst ever created the 8 track would be it. I made tapes in high...

DAT- You will not keep them running and Richard Hess in a conversation back in 2007 told me to get all audio off of that format and stop using it- there are no parts made since 1997 and that format is dead as is the 8 track cartridge. Cassettes can do very well if you don't buy a garbage Ion...

Direction lamps are LED mods, The Pitch control was changed to a new pot. New Meter lamps- not original old ones. Wow and flutter was .03% at 7.5 IPS. It is ready to go. Client wants $1050 and shipping cost will be negotiated. Most people know of my work and service. Yes there is a scratch at...

This unit as a consignment was brought to me and has light wear on heads, I put new counter belt, oiled capstan motor, recapped the whole unit and put in new brake pads. All my unit have a 6 month warranty. The deck is adjusted to MDS36 tape and will also work well with LPR35 tape. This has a 7"...

Well the Mk III has a number of less than excellent items to mention and one of them, is lack of adjustments as above but it also uses a gear transport that the Gear C is cracking due to the crummy damping grease they put into them. So the Mk III requires a total tear down to get out all the bad...

I like this one-

Has anyone tested these tapes yet- they may be more of the CRC stuff that was horrible.

Jet packs are again a method to move around to negate gravity but the levitation that some technologies allow do not use jets that can run out of fuel. Jet packs are thinking from when the Jetson's were made and how long ago was that? They do have the device but it will not last you a lot of...

We have the means to go to Mars but it is not SpaceX or Nasa that will tell you about it. The Antigravitic craft perfected in 1954 will go to other places in record time. The real ET craft will do it in a flash. The US government craft do not have their propulsion system- Our craft is like a...
