The capstan belt was broken and I wanted

really like to factor in the
availibility of spares and parts, among
other things. In general, parts for
which decks (Akai, Teac, Sony....) are
easiest to source. While I

Akai 4000DS won't change speedsStarted by:Jim, Jan/13/05 04:17 PM
I bought this nice-looking deck- an Akai
4000DS. It plays fine at one speed but
when I flip the switch to change from
3-3/4 to 7-1/2, it keeps running at the
same speed. Can anybody tell me what's
wrong? Thanks!

Any publications for R2Rs?Started by:Reel Player, Jan/29/05 11:04 AM
Wondering if there are any publications
or newsletters from groups etc.
dedicated for R2R. I know there are a
few for other vintage electronics like
vacuum tubes, boatanchors/vintage
radios, turntables(?) but I am not able
to find any for R2R.

I am confused...for some reason I
thought the GX-600 series of Akai decks
were NOT 3 motor, but I came across a

unit. If some were and some not then
could anyone please let me know which
ones ? Thanks!

Is there any good site for Teac like

Flutter and WowStarted by:schipper, Jan/25/05 10:40 AM
I have a collection of 7 inch tapes with
classical music on them that I have
bought over the last few years. Last
night I was playing one of them and
noticed that the last half hour or so
sounded terribly fluttery, to the point
I couldn't listen anymore.
