 there are several different models and brands ready.


Some of the newest restored are at "Decks for sale"
   and many others waiting in line to be serviced.

 * TESTING AND RESTORING PROCESS: *



Visual check for burned components, fuses,
    grime, dust or any obviously problems.


Test playback function with a high quality
    recorded tape, checking signals on both channels


Checking the tape travelpath for worn or hard   
   pinchroller, guides and other possible problems.


Then a simple record test to see if the unit will  
    record and erase.

After disassembly, cleaning inside with brushes
    and compressed air on boards, switches etc.

Check controls, switches for correct function and signals.


Playfunction, fforward and rewind is the critical
    part because all the rubber components.

Drivebelts, counterbelts are replaced
    and idler-wheels refurbished if needed.

Brakes and linkage adjusted to specifications.

Tape tension, reel-motors, tape guides and heads adjusted or replaced.

Re-rubber of both pinch-rollers and idler-wheels
    can be done thru Terry Witt's great service.

If parts are missing or need replacement, 
    new or used ones are installed.
Many times I build one nice deck out of two here,
  as I am picky with both quality sound and cosmetics.

Burned bulbs are replaced in VU meters and pilot-lights.

Transport mechanism is cleaned and re-lubricated.

 Out / input - jacks and switches cleaned.

Then re-test the player for accurate speed,
    fforward and rewind function.

Tape-travelpath, heads,guides,
    cleaned and demagnetized.

 After the transport and amp sections,
     is working properly the assembly starts.

Faceplate cleaned and polished.

Control-shafts straightned and knobs cleaned.

Wood-cabinets cleaned and oiled again.

After all is back together the final test begin:

Play and record function for several days
    and minor adjustments if needed.

Ready for a new owner !
