Unit has
been well cleaned, maintenance has been completed and preventative maintenance
has also been completed.
Cleaned:
-Well dusted inside and out with dry compressed air
-Removed
surface scratches in LED Display
-Play/record heads cleaned
-Capstans
cleaned
Preventative
Maintenance:
-Applied
new "Super Lube Synthetic Grease" to gears in transport
-Applied
synthetic oil to both motors on both transports
-Both
transports fully demagnetized with electromagnetic tool
Repairs:
-New
gears in both transports (only one was cracked before replacement but I always
replace the issue gears)
-New
belts in both transports
-Calibrated
high speed and low speed on both transports (only low speed shown, as high
speed requires jumping a set of pins and pushing the 'high'(dubbing) button, so
not easy to picture!)
-Playback
levels calibrated for the R channel on the B deck (only channel to show low
volume before adjustment)
Not
completed:
-Azimuth
not calibrated! but sound is spot on (very clear highs and sounds amazing in
Dolby S), I am working to afford a good oscilloscope (Don't trust the apps for
azimuth) Adjustments of azimuth with 'wfgui' or 'nac-100' could be worse than
its current positioning.
-Record
level calibration was not completed (too many variables, best left alone if
hardware is not altered)
Run in
completed!
-Unit
ran two tapes in full repeat after repairs for 3 hours prior to calibration and
cleaning being completed on the unit.
