First of all Merry Christmas to you all!!
This isn't a story how my old Revox A-77 found it's way home after 20 years. I did snipe a Teac A-3300SX off ebay last week. It looks to be in good shape, heads in good shape and funtions seem to work ok. A friend is sending me a couple reels to test this with since I don't have any yet.
I just figured on cleaning heads, rollers, etc. along with demagnitizing them to test this thing. Then I planned on sending it off to one of the R2R specialists to get it restored, as I know zip about the innards of these machines. Is there any big money parts I have to watch out for replacing? I know caps and such will but if the heads are ok is there anything else to look out for as most of the people I checked out get around $250 + parts?
Anybody have a copy of the owners manual they would like to share?
Thinking of the old Revox, I wish I would have kept the 2 cases of TDK tapes that I gave with it. Probably worth more than the deck!!
