    Yamaha KX-1200 Capstan Motor

    Hi, I have a Yamaha KX-1200 capstan motor that is fluctuating in speed - just on its own, without any belt or load. It also sounds noisy. I would like to take the motor apart to clean it but am unsure how to get it apart without breaking it. I have it pulled from the cassette deck. Any known...

    Kenwood KX-1030 Worth Keeping?

    I recently purchased a Kenwood KX-1030 on Ebay. It didn't work, but externally it was in excellent condition, so I went for it at the reasonable price being asked. I thought it might just need belts and that perhaps I could get it working. After getting it I was initially pleased, because it...

    Apply oil or leave alone? Capstan shaft, Akai GX-635D

    I have this question posted in my thread about my slow-running GX-635D, but I felt this question needs to be in its own thread and hopefully spotted by someone who can answer this question. I've pulled the motor off and it's in good shape, no burns of any kind, so I just cleaned the contact...

    Hey guys... I'm not a complete noob with R2R or repairs, but I am still learning a LOT! I have a Pioneer RT-901 that I use as my main and I recently acquired an RT-909. I thought I would replace the 901 with the 909, but it needed some love first. I figured it would be good while in it...
