- Picked up and nice looking CT-Y7 - not working and surprisingly, only a mechanical fault. Unfortunately during disassembly, the push rods for tape type and dolby selection snapped. Probably shrunk somewhat over time in addition to brittle plastic.
After a bit of an overview, there is a bit of detail on the repair.
Hi Felix, I have the same deck; a CT-940. Do you have the part numbers for the Take-up Idler and/or Pinch Roller? And my push buttons broke the exact same as yours. I super-glued them and then carefully reinforced with some shrink boot. Thanks, -Tom
Unfortunately I don't have part numbers for that machine. This was sold so I no longer have the deck at hand either. I did buy some generic rollers from AliExpress or somewhere like that, and they have been pretty good. Just don't buy the cheapest option. Occasionally they have kits with assorted sizes and with luck you get the part you need.
It is a shame those rods break so easy, I imagine more than a few decks were thrown out because of it. Good to hear you managed to repair yours. Good luck with the rest of it, I seriously liked how it sounded. I have a dual deck version in the pipeline, and may keep it if it works out.
The question is “Y” would you buy it
Y not.
I don't have a clue what the final text ment, an internal joke i suppose.
So the bias oscillator filter is ok now?
I don't know how i would fix the plastic extention rod, likely heatshrink tubing over the join then apply the hair dryer to shrink it.
A small cable tie wrapped around the connection may of worked as well.
I have bodged so many things, but in a reliable way.
I tell lies as well ha ha :-D
Yeah, the CT7100 is all done, and its companion SA7100 amplifier is now in the lounge room, replacing the RS-M250 and SU-Z36. I put the SU-Z36 up for sale, still hesitant to list the 250. I'm worried someone will buy it and I'll regret having sold it!
This is a different machine - I've got a few projects on the hop, so it does get confusing!
End screens are usually lyrics well out of context ;)
Cheers!
