Another deck brought back from the dead. Received with gooey melted belts. Put some spares on, cleaned all mechanism, idlers etc. Idler drive clutch is lacking torque for proper ff/rew, but will wind most cassettes. Azimuth re-aligned, demagnetized heads, Speed adjusted, take up reel torque is optimal. Playback is near perfect. There is some wow/flutter which is hard to detect with bare ear but its there on the scope, due to not using stock belts, must get a proper belt kit for this unit. Now I have a deck with an open face (no cassette door). Great green lights to light up the vu meter bay. Sendust Heads.
