Hey there, everyone. I have two G&D Sony TPS-L2 that need the right reel gear replaced. I've looked on YouTube and scoured the web, but I couldn't find a tutorial on how to replace them. Does anyone have a source or know of a video I can watch? Once I get these up and running, I'll post pictures of them both. Cheers and thanks for your help.
there are no guides on doing it, but it seems pretty straightforward. sorta rushing my response since coursework, may have missed a thing or two here 1, get the flywheel bracket and belt removed- -to get out of the way for now 2, remove c-clip and get this plastic wheel off (easy to remove c-clips with flathead) 3, remove the reel spindle- -only the take up reel on the right, ~80% sure you can just pull it off. ignore my circling the left lol 4, now you should have access to this lil nub. with a punch or thin rod of some sort and a hammer or mallet, gently hammer it out- -only the center piece, dont hammer the brass. double check the gear is clear of obstructions to be shimmied out before going to town on it. there should be NOTHING sitting above it (in the way) or attached to it if there is something in the way, youll likely break it. remove anything else that may prove a clearance issue And, you should be left with this. i imagine youll know what to do from here other side (ref another post on here from last year) you cant access the gear as its a press-fit brass cap of some sort, but going from that side is a LOT of work anyways. from what i can tell, this is the easiest way to remove it. post i mentioned the guy had tried hammering on the brass, from the front, which i believe is press-fit.. from the front.
This is helpful. I think I'll try it on a few of my parts units first before I tackle my G&Ds. I appreciate it, and I'm sorry I'm just seeing it now. Cheers Scott
Ok Im stuck at the beginning. Any ideas how to get this lever removed so I can push th epin and the gear out from the front? See Picture
late response, but thats just held on with a c-clip. you can easily pop those suckers off with a flathead they are so much better to work with than those fiddly split washers
