Thats good news on the reel motor. Let me know your price and how you prefer to get paid. To be honest....I have never met a Nak that didnt sound and record well to my ears. My old 600 is amazing to me...especially when I keep the alignment touched up every now and then. Thanks Nakdoc....Travis

I try to stay away from mailing anything if I can but when I have to I pack it like its eggs...sometimes that's not enough. Thanks for the info on the pioneer motors and idler issues. I enjoy making things operate as they should. When I get back on the pioneer's I will post my findings and...

Yeah Sam...I appreciate the insight as well. The voice of experience is always valued with me and Im sure, others. Thank you very much for the detailed reply. Oh....and I'm sure the marketing department and the accountants overrule the engineers as far as design goes....the dollar is the...

Howdy Sam.....seeing all the cassette decks that you see....can you share what would be your favorite or best all around considering performance, dependability and ease of service? thanks

My Marantz is a 250m...the tuner is a Heathkit aj-43d....the preamp is a Dynaco Pas3x...the turntable is a Yamaha YP-d6 and the speakers are Pioneer HPM-100's. I have a few other things that i rotate in and out but these are my favorites. Oh....and the Nak 600 and you may have seen my yamaha...

Thank Laatsch....Ive been at it a little while and we learn as we go and what I don't know I will dig until I do. My little system isnt much Nando. You know how the mechanic always drives the ragged out old car...well I fit that profile. All my stuff is old and pieced together but i love it...

Thanks Nando. Down my way some of the best techs charge similar rates. I do not, but I enjoy making my customers smile and I get lots of repeat customers. I also get to play with lots of cool equipment :). I worked about 200 pieces last year and Im on track to bust that number this year if all...

After a long head scratching session I found the problem with the incomplete erase problems as well as the poor recordings on type II and Metal. I confirmed that I had no bias oscillator freq on the erase head and went looking for the reason. I found the bias osc was indeed running on the...

I spent some time with the 3014A. I have the meter movement repaired. I made some recordings and found some problems. Type 1 recordings are good. When type 2 or metal is selected I get poor recording. I also noticed that I am not getting a complete erase when I rerecord on any tape type. So...I...

I am hoping so as well. I haven't dug in just yet but the initial performance tests are promising as far as overall function. The VU meter seems to be responding as far as the movement is concerned but the pointer is either bent or loose. I will post pictures and solution when I get there.

That sounds like enough of a job for 5 or 6 people...at least. Thanks for elaborating.

The 8050 is overkill for me these days....i dont need that many digits anymore. Now, when I was doing metrology work is was barely sufficient but im retired from that for evermore. The old 45 is both a good bench meter and has the rechargeable battery option of you wanna take the show on the...

Looks to be a little transport work needed....the right meter has problems as you can see and the Azimuth adjust is not working correctly.

Serious business.....ive seen coworker leave this planet from a flash.....burnt bad....i mean bad. I worked for the utility company. Y'all stay safe.

Hey Nando....look what I just got in for service and repair. Woohoooo! This gonna be a treat!

Cool John....So were you in Safety and Health or Protection and Control? I was the dude that would receive the exploded meter and analyze exactly what happened to cause the event and develop a procedure and equipment recommendation to insure that it never happened again. I was the Lab Tech nerd.

I enjoy them. I guess its the 80's kid in me. I enjoy the challenge of getting all that I can out of the format. Currently I am using a Yamaha k-850 and the Nak 600. Ive had several other Naks in the past but got talked out of them. I piddle around with reels some too but I prefer the cassette...

Now thats a nice one...Ive got a black one myself that I just finished a cal on.

I second the Fluke 45...hard to beat and pretty cheap these days.

Scopes......I have one single piece of advice on a scope purchase. I love old analog scope as much as the next nerd but I like the "easy" button on the digital;s very much. Usually they are labeled "Auto" and you will put your probe on what you wanna see and hit the Auto button and it detects...
