#TAPEDECK DOODLE PDF#

I haven't touched the motor speed - my theory says that it should be close without doing this otherwise mechanical or other issue?

The two tapes I have to test - I don't have another place to test them really unless maybe I take the tapes to a thrift store or buy some there and test on site.

Questions, does anyone know of a PDF copy of the service manual?Īny thoughts on the mechanical issues? I figure it could be drag. After doing the oiling it didn't really seem to improve in the audio department, and didn't cure the auto reverse. So to try to fix the audio speed issue I did some research and found out about oiling the capstains, did that. Reverse playback the heads engage but one of the reels doesn't spin and the tape ends up unwinding down near the capstan. It seems to work with tape winding functions, and forward playback. I hope the belt isn't too tight, could this be a thing? The working path is basically outside of all pulleys. I tried the belts the two ways I could see them on, one path works and one doesn't.

Given the originals were in such bad condition I'm not absolutely sure of the original belt path, or proper measurements. So after attempted measurement I ordered a pair of 9.6', 1/16' square belts. It's a Sony TC-WR710.įirst issue was the belts were goo. A friend playing with cassette decks got me thinking about bringing the deck from my childhood back to life.
