    Pioneer RT707 Problems

    Hi All, Recently acquired a pioneer RT707 tape recorder. I’m having a weird problem with it where the player won’t sound out of both channels unless i press lightly on the supply reel.

    Akai GX-4000D - no audio from playback head

    Ok, I just got an Akai GX-4000D reel-to-reel. It’s pretty immaculate, clean as a whistle inside and out (except for some dust on the bottom circuit board).

    Resurrected Sony TC-388-4

    Sometimes you have to work with the space you have!

    Hey all, I've somehow managed to cram 3 setups and 5 turntables into an 800 Sq ft. open floorplan apartment with no doors between living spaces. Don't ask me how I do it, because I can't wrap my around it myself. I really enjoy seeing everyone's listening spaces here, so I thought I would...

    Sansui 1000A Distortion From Reel To Reel Signal

    I would not say that I have tons of experience with the Sansui 1000A receiver but I have recapped and tuned three of them over the last couple of years. I really have a thing for this model. All three of the 1000A units that I have rebuilt share a particular problem that I cannot figure out...
