Excelente tutorial, poseo una 122 MK2 desde nueva y muy contento con ella, le remplace los condensadores del motor de Capstan y las correas en su momento y hasta ahora siempre ha funcionado bien.

Great tutorial Peter. Just finished replacing the control belt and the idler wheels from you earlier vids, but I think I might have to do the full service as it seems a little hesitant at times, and when I engage the pitch control it just slows to a crawl and stops.

Mark, that pitch control is a problematic thing. Cleaning the switch may solve it but the potentiometer is probably a lost cause and needs replacement. Try the contact cleaner first on the switch (not the pot) and see what happens but it may need a full service which requires a circuit modification to accommodate the replacement pot. Let me know what happens.
