Could you explain what an elevator does, I know it's some form of lift. Shame it's your last I was enjoying them!!

you see where its says "XDR" on the tape ? i have several "XDR" tapes all giving me the same issues , not a single deck plays these , single or dual capstan decks from various brands. i took the take out of the welded case and transferred to a TDK case, a Maxell case and a BASF case. still would not play. cleaned the tape itself front to back with IPA 99.9% , still nothing , i baked the tape , still nothing . what i finally did was lube the tape with dry teflon , that worked wonders and now the tape plays again its not the case, its the tape material loosing its lubrication and starts sticking to itself , and all "XDR" tapes seem to start doing this after e "few" years (30 or so)

I can’t believe you got that old thing going again! It was my main source of entertainment as a teenager since we didn’t have TV! ❤ that old cabinet stereo!

Nice old hifi repair!

Very enjoyable video, I love these tours.

This is Canada…not the US just to let you know.

Love those drone flights! Beautiful skies in Saskatchewan!

Enjoying these villages, being from the UK I never thought the US was like this. Let's have more.

G'day fella, this is another reason i enjoy your channel. Audio, video and storms. Gotta hand it to you, always enjoy your videos

Awesome footage with the Autel Nano+ way better at low light than the dji mini 3 pro

Do you service these decks? I need some expert to service my TC-K909ES. It has poor midtone and high frequencies.

Good job as usual.

Nice repair, sounds good.

Well wishes to your sister, Godspeed.

Здраствуйте. Хорошее видео. У меня такая же дека. Поменял только пасики. А вот что за лампочки 6v не могу понять. Их всего вроде только две одна в колоде другая там где индекаторы уровня записи. Пытался поменять на светодиоды, так они не хотят гореть. Не подскажите пожалуста ТТХ этих лампочек?

Theres a Japanese bose wave radio that has cd and cassette to. If you go to Japan a good store for stereos is one called Hard Off.

The build quality and design of these Bose devices is impressive, that's why they cost so much! Congratulations on the video and success to the channel. Hugs from Brazil.

That woofer driver looks beefy!

that is some quality machine

Cool device you got there. By mentioning in video that record head is sensitive to static - device is not recording anymore? And yes, sometimes its hard to find those loading switches on md transports without service manual. Another great video! Cheers

Hey, finally 4k !

G'day fella. Bose always loved to make interesting sound wave guides. Mind you they also like to make things complex

I have zero drone experience but they look amazing. I may ask you for advice some day.

Sony was, and still is a giant. Can't imagine the number of staff employed for research and devlopment to manufacturing!

I agree with you on the vintage brochures. When iwas a teenager I used to write to manufacturers for information on their decks and other HiFi. I so wish I kept them all!!!

Re: TC-K75. I fixed mine which was dead but needed several other jobs to be done on it. I also had to buy two Sony CX-174-2 (Dolby and integrated OP Amp) ICs which made the overall cost at about £110. Oh, and yes also needed to source a LED Meter display IC, which luckily I had 'in stock'.

I had the same sticky idler @1:01:00

If I may mention the motor controller board - I rescued a long dead TC-K75, and seemingly one of the developed faults was that the motor controller board shorted to earth. So I later isolated this so that the solder side could never touch the chasis.

Glad you spotted the dirty back tension pad, I did see it earlier, but I thought not to mention it. They can get quite 'sticky' and create extra wow/flutter towards the end of the tape.

Felts: I tend to wash them, and allow to dry. In other words - degrease. :o)

0.5wrms w&f is very good result for this device. Cheers!

Another very interesting video!

Привет! Не нашел среди Русских мастеров нужного контента вот только у тебя! Respect! Thanks to this video, I found a breakdown on my 75mk2. My VR1 and VR2 were not receiving voltage from the motherboard. When I saw the manual in the video, I immediately found the problem. Good luck! Thank you.

i have one of these but the volume like urs is dirty and makes crackling sounds through the speakers. is it an easy fix?

Those felt disks can be purchased in kit form from the usual suspects, look for something like "felt washer for VCR repair" or something close. A wire brush can also restore them sometimes. CA was the right choice for the overmolded plastic parts that Sony is so fond of, JB weld is formulated for metal repairs and doesn't wet out plastic very well at all. Another good choice is Acrylic cement assuming, of course, it's Acrylic. Did you ever get your tape back, and why is shipping from US to Canada so outrageously expensive all of a sudden?

Hi! Thanks for the useful video. Sorry for my English, I'm from Ukraine. I have TC-K81 and it seems to have the same problem. Low winding force, when playing a cassette, closer to the end the autostop is triggered, often pulling the tape out of the cassette. The cassette deck was serviced by a technician, but he was still unable to adjust the required force. I didn't quite understand about the spring and the locking washer, it seems I need to disassemble the tape-transport mechanism myself and watch your video again.... 😑 It scares me a little... In general, the cassette deck has excellent sound, I would really like to adjust it.

plastic crap

To restore the felt, you can try using a wire brush.

Great video, plenty of detail if I need something done on my K65. Where did you get the torque gauge? those are wickedly expensive on ebay..

Hi there , what's the link for the Jspan site ? Thanks

I would disagree that "this head design is not necessary". This is a brilliant Nakamichi invention that will allow you to playback the tapes with felt pad lost and bended or completely missed spring.

4:08 These Mabuchi motors are a big pain. I have an identical on a boombox and it causes massive speed variations. I suggest to avoid it.

My Marantz SD800 had same problem, motor couldn't hold speed. Had to swap motor from a 1810 Marantz.

10:36 LOL love it 😅

Get a Denon or JVC. They sound just as good and chances are the deck will still be running. When it finally does need service, they're super easy to work on. Nakamichi decks were overhyped, overpriced and over engineered and tapes produced on them don't sound any better on other player types, if anything, they sound worse.

49:50 the service manual for my K65 said the lamps were 8V 50mA so I ordered 9V 4mm lamps off Aliexpress. It seems the K65 has manual controls for bias and eq. While I think the dials on your K61 look better, the manual controls sure come in handy. I wish it had an adjustable output level though..

clean it yourself! it's a lovely sentimental piece
