The M253X arrived today, the big brother of the M245X. Heads look good and sound fine, slight adjustment on playback gain in right channel, but not much. As I thought, the mode belt needed cleaning and will be replaced down the track, its the number 1 thing that goes wrong with these units. Much nicer sounding than its little brother. Will have to see how it records, although recording duties are mainly given to the JVC and Denon dual capstan decks. Even still it will be interesting to be able to monitor DBX recordings in real time, bias adjust will come in handy as well. I underestimated the quality of these decks until recently, they really are a nice machine, the AX heads are very very quiet in the noise department.
The smaller M245X is in line for a rew/ff idler tyre but is still working, all in good time. I like the yellow print on the circuit boards of the M253X.
I think that's enough tape decks for now, this makes 22. Yes I am mad.
