Repairs included: 1) new servo control switch (S6...01); 2) re-solder bad ground connections on audio board; 3) replace burned out fusible resistors in power supply; 4) replace broken screws on heatsink (servo board); replace hardened rubber roller in take-up reel assembly.
Restoration involved many hours of work, and this deck is performing beautifully. All functions are good. Original discrete heads are in great shape. Display is bright. Cosmetically very good with a few minor dings. Top cover was painted due to many light scuffs. No dents.
I use Cardas silver solder for all soldering work.
Original cheap plastic feet replaced with much nicer solid aluminum ones, which give this deck an even higher quality look and feel (originals will be included). No chassis modifications were made, but the feet had to be modified slightly to fit level. I may have to remove them for shipping.
No details were spared in this restoration. A list of items completed will be provided on request. Questions are welcome--feel free to ask away! Will be shipped double-boxed. NO RESERVE.
