youtube tape machine repair teachers

[CharlieDont]

Anyone familiar with any individuals who do an excellent job presenting reel-to-reel repairs and maintenance on youtube?

Uncle Doug and his video series have done a lot for me understanding tube amplifiers and electronics troubleshooting in general... but interested in more specifically solid state and tape mechanics, and hoping to find someone who is a great teacher like he is who breaks it all down as if you are attending workshop courses. Obviously it’s a lot to ask, but seems like there must be some people out there already. I’ve just had little luck finding them so far.

Also interested in Synth repairs. Marcus Fuller and Synth Chaser are both great, but there is still a pretty big gap from what I have been able to find.

Also interested in old school console maintenance. Have yet to find someone who does productions about full console restorations. Would be fascinating though.

Thanks y’all!
Charlie

Jordan Pier does restorations of consoles, receivers, TVs, tape decks, and pretty much any kind of old electronics:

12voltvids has also done some reel-to-reel deck restorations, but he mostly focuses on equipment from the '80s and '90s:

The late Thomas Possche (aka "The European Master Technician") had several repair videos for tape decks, available from that popular auction site.

Jordan is local http://www.repairaudio.com/ and is an excellent technician. He repaired a couple of decks for me, a R2R and cassette and he did an excellent job.
