RT-707

I'm trying to figure out why on PB my peaks are so low? Any one have a guess. I have found some parts that I am watching. So give me your best shot.

Is there anything I can do while I have it on the bench? When a space opens up. LOL

Could it be something simple like the tape not biased correctly for the deck? What about connectors, controls or switches in need of a good cleaning?

I am sure you already thought of those but someone needed to respond!

LOL Thanks. I think it may be the PB heads. I found some. So I'm watching them.

When you monitor while you're recording is it still low ??

 

[speakerman1]

No it records right on. The peaks are good. It is on playback they drop bad. Peaks don't even hit 0.

So no matter how hot you record on playback it's always low??

 

[speakerman1]

Yepper.

Larry: on the back of the RT-707 are right and left channel output controls. Are they set too low?

Thanks Nando
It didn't help. just put a tape on that was recorded on my Akai. Still way low. Guess I'll see if Rick has a manual.

I found a complete head bank I'm watching and some other parts.

Just priced the SMs. 100.00 for both of them. They have a lot of SBs for the deck.

When it goes for reverse play it tracks off the pinch roller. And goes down behind it. In REW it does fine.

Had a Teac 4300 that did the same thingg. Sam has it now.

Well I got a brand new looking pinch roller set. Bulb for the directions. Just received a head bank for it. The heads look new. Have to find some environmental splices. The heads were god when he pulled them so all I will do is put it on. No messing with the heads. just pull one and install one.
