You need to do a simple test: does this happen with pre-recorded tapes or tapes recorded in a different deck/recorder ? I read that this is your...
@Longman Did not know about the PCM-F1, that is an interesting read. As for the loudness wars, those have certainly degraded the CD experience a...
I recommend lubricating everything that can be lubricated: capstan bearings, gear shafts. I recommend oil, not grease, as grease it too thick and...
There are different perspectives to this: If we are to compare a worst-case-scenario for analog technology (with poor type I cassette, no Dolby,...
Ok. That FWD/REV arm should be moved by the cam gear on the left (gray). If you push that white lever into the solenoid, that should engage the...
