Electrolytic capacitors can fail short-circuit, although it's very rare. Remember seeing it on a Sanyo MGP-33. Also saw it in some of 12voltvids...
Know the other thread is yours, that's why I put the link. Doing a search, was able to find another thread here showing more clear pictures of the...
@Mister X He means the takeup reel rotates intermittently, probably not having enough takeup torque. There is another thread here where I gave...
Roller on TC-D5 units is the standard 13 x 8 x 2mm used in many cassette recorders, decks and even some walkmans:...
It depends on what you want to achieve. One thing to keep in mind is the difference in bias and levels between different tape types (I, II, IV)...
Don't try to correct L/R imbalance by using this adjustment, because you'll end up making levels off. And certainly don't re-adjust the playback...
Question was if it was used now, after repairing it. Fact it was used in 2001 is irrelevant now. Main point is I would use it for some time before...
Out of curiosity, what W&F figure do you get on this unit ? Have you measured it ? Given you say it's audible only with classical, I would expect...
If you intend to learn to solder and think a soldering station will be useful in the future in other projects, I think getting one is a good idea....
The glue used on the tape very well can accumulate static build up. Haven't seen it since I've never used this kind of tape when restoring...
AR90 is the mechanism used in RQ-S series, while AR10 is specific to RQ-SX series. But it's to be noted there are a couple of exceptions, like SX...
First, do some treating with Lenor. Check the pinch rollers also, on these units it's very important to be in good condition and clean. Rollers...
Models with this mechanism are known for leaky electrolytic capacitors and this one is no exception. There are at least 2 electrolytics in the...
Want to update the thread, a PB-20 battery is available here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/296479007066 I got it some time ago and am happy with it....
That's interesting. There are a couple more things that can be checked: - desolder the motor (red and white wires) and see if the pops still...
Clutch is the part with the blue rubber band on it. That seems to drive the takeup reel through an idler (marked green), but there's not enough...
Haven't measured, but unit should work fine with NiMH AAs until the LEDs that show direction become very dim. If the head lifting mechanism...
In regard to part 111, that's not necessary for operation it's there only for aesthetics and for the cassette shell to slide easily and not catch....
There is a thread about the clutch gear crack here: https://stereo2go.com/forums/threads/tps-l2-broken-clutch-gear.9534/ If the small idler is not...
