Excellent job thanks for posting 😊

Great job! I have a tanberg model 6 late 60s and TEAC x355d parts machine. I have a working one ! Both need you! Not many techs in the northwest work on reel to reels or cassette decks!

Lens rattling very common

Harmon Kardon made some nice receivers but that deck looked pretty light weight and cheap!

I can’t believe they built those machines with serviceable drive belts that are so difficult to change! I have changed on 5 cassette decks. My TEAC A-650 was the worst! You Are much more skilled than I! Good job!

Great video! What is name of that song at the end???

It was fun to see you boldly stumble your way through that problem. Glad you finally traced down the source of the DC offset. Both I and a good friend of mine have lost expensive woofers to DC offset burning them up. It’s a real problem with aging amplifiers, and it sucks when you have to replace a $300 woofer on $3000 speakers.

I don't get it. First he shows a prerecorded cassette and in the end he put a metal TDK one instead.🤔

The bias current is incorrect. Also known as quiescent current.

I have owned my NAD 7250PE since new in 1988. You're missing the jumpers from "PRE OUT" to "MAIN IN".

That is about the mid 1970's and a few Japanese companies had the same configuration that you show. Marantz is one that my parents had. I can say however that the earliest high fidelity cassette decks were actually flat with all the controls on the top and the cassette in a horizontal position. What you show is one of the earliest front load set ups due mainly to people wanting to put the decks on a shelf

Love the videos 😊

Hi I own the Akai GX-280D-SS it is a four track version with electronic touch controls which engages the mechanism for the reel to reel machine. Recently as I play music it would suddenly speed up audio sounding like the chipmunks music. Do any of you who may have owned or serviced these Akai Reel to Reel machines know what might be causing this trouble?

Pioneer CT-6R with remote (cable) I had it before AKAI GX-F71. CT-939 now on the workbench (belt replace)

1494 or 1981? Make your mind up!

Just put new slow close hinges on...loads of products to use.

I bought one of these new in 1982. I used it for making tapes for the car. When using TDK metal tape, the sound was nearly indistinguishable from the vinyl album I recorded it from. My turntalbe had an Moving Coil cartridge that sounded great, and so did this cassette deck. I used it for making metal tapes for the car.

I had no idea this was even a thing. Like you say it must be quite rare.

I have a BX-2 and the lines on your fader are worn off.

I have an Akai X2000SD that has reel to reel 8 track and cassette It could use your talent and I would be thankful na ready to compensate you for restoration Much appreciated

To be honest this is a common fault it's because the cct is sensing dc so the relay turns off . I can see you don't fix many amps I did this for a living, actually. Very simple fault actually!! Also you are using lead free solder on a lead solder unit

You went all in! Bravo, sir!

Regarding the manufacturer markings inside, remember that people did use to service and repair things....I know, it sounds crazy right..?🤪

Relies on way too many belts, and is far too complex for my liking. The designer(s) certainly didn't stick to the principle of 'keep it simple stupid'.

do you take on repairs from your viewers? I have several of these model cassette decks.....

Hello, excuse me, I'm looking at this and add 4 minutes and 9 secondid. You happen to look on the back of the unit to see if the jumpers were in place because this is AN. A receiver and they are shut up. Similar to Marantz, where the amplifier and the preamp tuner are separate and you have jumpers in the back. And if those jumpers are not in place in the connectors, you will not get any audio. No matter what. You do and you have to put the jumpers in the connectors to connect the preamp to the amp in order to get audio through the system. So I guess this is what you're gonna learn if I'm looking at this right at 4 minutes and 9 seconds you forgot to look on the back of the unit. Because right now, at 4 minutes and 9 seconds.I guess you did not look at the back of the unit.And you're doing all this work for nothing.I'm going to jump ahead now and see if you did the foolish thing and then did not look at the back of the receiver

You should never hook up speakers to a receiver or amp before checking to see if there is DC on the speaker terminals. Otherwise, you could destroy your speakers immediately.

without cleaning the mechanism yes,,,,👎👎👎👎

THIERS Somthing Wrong. Either Potent was changed or a cap in the amp is bad.

i use autohotkey for this😂

Replace the caps around that chip and also resolder voltage regulator and replace caps around that are. Look also for other bas solderjoints.

This really is a great video and a great repair. Open reel recorders are so enjoyable to work on and the results here really are gorgeous, these late 60s/early 70s 7-inch reel machines are really quite visually appealing, I love the paddle lever operation.

Realistic. We missed out on these in UK. Great units. Amps, Recievers, whatever. Made in Japan. These are really well made products yet people are sniffy about them for NO good reason.

Good job! If anyone ever has the chance to buy a reel to reel just buy it. The sound quality are superb. Lots of clear highs and full bass. In the UK we have amazing music everynight on stereo FM radio, hiphop, dance, trance, everything in perfect quality and i use a reel to reel to record it. Do it!😊

that's Y I've never bought an autoreverse

I have one just like that but a Pioneer from 1978 that you copy and mine works very well, the same as the cassette system.

Those “flat motors” are not motors 🤦‍♀️

That R not support to be there!

Great video,were do you get the schematics card from.what website. Amazing and thankyou

My head doesn’t want to rotate all the way. It gets stuck. Any suggestions. Thanks for the rest of the video. I was able to change the belt

Nice job. Turned out great.

Have clear memories of my late brother,who was in the merchant navy,coming back from Japan with much hifi over the years,wonderful silver fronted Pioneer among the best.He also came home with a system,a midi sized top of range version of this,comprising amp,cassette deck and fancy digital tuner/timer,but he didn't buy the cool slide out turntable unfortunately.Was the envy of my schoolmates,as it wasn't available in the UK at the time.

Great job on the repair... In my collection I usually collect Pioneer and panasonic honestly I love the old panasonic 8 track players the only company that never used a rubber belt but a fiberglass reinforce belt just clean the heads and off they go again

Just bought this casette player as an extra for my 610 amplifier and tuner. What amazes me (besides the timeless looks) is the quality feel of these machines. Even the plastic front flap feels like a big chunk of bullit proof plastic.

Did you check the relay contacts. If they are dirty that may be creating the issue.

Underneath the laser assembly and the white piece of plastic is a small anti-vibration spring .... You should reposition that spring or you'll get an annoying skip in the sound of the player .... Good video ! I am an engineer of Pioneer Electronics Europe Service Dept./// After a lens repositioning you should realign the tangential adjustment and the maximum grating signal for an optimal player joy. See the Service Manual for that adjustment(s). For driving the laserblock to the back just use the test mode of the player. This counts for ALL Pioneer CD-players b.t.w.

Excellent video!!!!

I'm guessing the worm gear is for the counter.

23:35 Playing a Maxell XLII-S hi-bias cassette, but you have the tape EQ set for LH instead of CrO2.

I've jsut stopped watching at the 30 second mark to say two things... I was the southern Cal regional warranty service center for NAD and 30 pounds is NOT a "monster amp". and second, the first thing I always checked for on NAD as well as other products that had a Pre-out / Main-in loop was to make sure the jumpers were installed. This is not the case here... OK, now I will continue to watch the video. I always enjoy watching amateurs (trying to) repair(ing) electronics!
