Head alignment tape - where to buy

[tuneman88]

Need a new belt AD-M700U AIWA CAS. DECK

These belts are discontinued from aiwa. There must be some out there somewhere.

Hi, I have the same AD-M700U deck. while I'm not fimilar with tape head adjustments, I wonder if you could tell me where I could find new belts. I need the play or flywheel belt. Also my playback Hi-end seems to be low. Any suggestions?

Tuneman,
I sent you the service manual (pdf). Hopefully this helps....

Luis's tapes are excellent. There soon will be tapes available made in the US. Dolby level, W/F and azimuth. The announcement will be on NakTalk, and I'll probably forward to tapeheads. Test tapes are more involved than one might imagine.
I know the Sony W/F tape is still available, and their azimuth tape may also be, but a set will cost more than LP's tapes.
Skewing at 5kHz needs to be corrected before trying to align your deck.

Nakdoc,
Please do let us know when the tapes become available. Any idea what they will sell for?
How much (if any) jitter should I be able to see on an oscilloscope when looking at 5kHz on both channels?
