Hello,

Many AK-er asked for details regarding my infrared remote kit for RT-909.
Ok. I'd like to show here detailed pictures of the Infrared Remote Kit that I have developed especially for thr RT-909 reel to reel deck.
The receiver PCB is designed to fit as a click-in unit, having gold plated pressure contacts and side fasteners.
There are no ordinary Radio-Shack parts. All parts are my own development and custom made.


Remote Kit: Sender + Receiver PCB + IR-Eye (sensor) PCB

Outstanding!

Vlad your brillant! :banana:What an accomplishment. :banana:Only someone such as yourself could implement such an added accessory for such a fine reel to reel. You have not only re-styled a complete make over of the Pioneer RT-909 (offering a totally "Black" version) but now have added a "Remote Control" feature that really does not effect the unit's front planel for modification in anyway shape or form! :tresbon:
Now you have added DBX I and DBX II to the RT-909 as well!
Soon you will add (per our discussion) a 'silent' option of operation for the the RT-909 for a smooth operating reel to reel.:music:
Your expertise and determination are clearly shown in all that you have done to accomplish a "totally" revised reel to reel that, before, was considered a very fine reel to reel by normal standards and now you come out with these features and it just surpasses all the rest!:smoke:
Congradulations on your accomplishments fellow AK'er and continue to develop whatever else you have in store for the RT-909. I don't know if anything else could be done to improve it but coming from you I'm sure I won't be dissapointed! :yes:
 
Availability to us?

Is this going to be available for AK members to purchase, with detailed instructions anytime soon? Thank you and great job!!

Since the OP is not a subscriber, you might have to use google to find a way to purchase this item. This is sort of a clandestine advertisement if you know what I mean. I have no problem with the post as it is very informative and does not offer the unit for sale. So do a bit of digging and get you one.

I write for all my projects a detailed and pictured step by step instruction. This is very good to keep all details when I'll come back later into the project.

No chance. If I remember right the RT-707 have mechanical switches for Play, FF.... A remote control can be implemented only in decks with logic control.
AKAI GX-xxx, Teac, Technics RS-xxx .... al these decks have logic control, so a remote control is possible. But not RT-707.
