So tweaked it in……..

[hcraig244]

45rpm was a similar story….tweeked that trimmer also

Adjustment o the slow slide transport……..

[hcraig244]

This went well……forward measurement, got the probes wrong way around naturally, measured up fine

 

[hcraig244]

Reverse was a little off….so had to adjust somewhat, so its always good to check. oh and swapped the probes around.

Adjustment of voltage for drive motor

[hcraig244]

Fairly straightforward with the exception that X is now in a different place due to the modified capacitor arrangement provided by Rudi….the Bi Polar capacitor position is now after the two back to Back capacitors…..measured up fine.

All that remains is a period of testing……

[hcraig244]

Well……isnt this a little embarrassing, fortunately Glitch is paying attention and identified the schoolboy error regarding the 33rpm setting. should of course be set to 33.33rpm…the manual identifies the 33rpm setting should be set up using the stroboscope dial which no doubt is calibrated to give a 33.33rpm setting when appearing stationary…..oops

Quickly moving on…….as the deck came to me bereft of cartridge I fitted one of my own and gave it a test

[hcraig244]

Following a river cruise down the Nile to Luxor and the valley of the kings, something I’ve always wanted to do, I completed the test on this machine…..It’s easy to see why people fall in love with these engineering mastepieces

[hcraig244]

couldn’t resist posting this……

[hcraig244]

All done and ready to roll…..

The strong box is ideal for transit…
