Mend It Mark - THAT £25,000 Tom Evans Mastergroove Pre Amp repair video in full HD
Mend it Mark runs a great repair video on UA-cam and I`ve been a follower for a few years.
His most recent repair video was taken down due to a youtube copyright strike from the manufactuer Tom Evans, so I`m re-uploading a copy of it here in support for Marks channel and our right to repair products that are faulty.
As you can see, this is so unfair hes done nothing wrong. The only thing I can think off is the bit where he shows the tom evans website product details for what hes repairing.....
Copyright of his video I`ve uploaded belongs to Mend It Mark!
Does not bode well for us on youtube that like to repair items and make videos of the process if someone can then claim copyright and have it taken down.
Let me know in the comments your thoughts on this.

HOW TO Easily Fix Playback Issues TECHNICS RS-BX501 Tape Deck
I just replaced my belts yesterday on my TC-WE475, neither player would play, but for a couple of seconds, then began to "eat the tapes". The smaller belts (both) were melted to the spools, I found. I kept looking for the belts in the electronics, but they were nowhere to be found. So, while installing the new belts pieces of the old belts stuck to the new belts as they turned. I had to clean the melted belts off the newer belts, after I installed the replacement belts. It seems the old belts broke and were stuck under the large pully, as I tried to get it to work, the old belts got hot from the friction which melted the old belt to the pully. In the end, it turned out that replacing the belts resolved the problem.
I have just, finally, been reunited with my record and CD collection of over 10,000 albums and singles, and shipped them overseas after 17 years in storage. I couldn't wait to put the unit that stores them together again and get playing. My joy was short-lived when I discovered that my Sony 300 CD player, my single CD player/recorder and my amp had 'issues'. Thank you so much for this video I am gonna attempt to fix this one first before I move on to trying to figure out the amp etc. This video is so complete I'm feeling confident...Pray for me 🙂
This is so useful, thank you
Excellent video, thank you. I have a CDP-CX250 but I'm not sure what belts will work for it. I've looked but can only find CX-300+ compatible belts. Will the same ones work on the CX250?
Which would be the diameter for a cpl filter for this camera? Thank you!
Thanks I thought it had broken and wasn't until I watched yours did I realise it wasn't

Is the descale accessory required to descale? I tried running mine without it and the descale button would not change color :/ I'm now wondering if i need to purchase the accessory or if my machine is broken altogether
Yes you need it to run the program
Woow ! Thank you so much for your help. You saved My new coffee machine !!! Thank you sooo much !🎉
Thanks for all the info you shared. I changed the belts with some replacements I cut and superglued to get to fit 3 years ago. They are still operating the transport. I now have developed a playback problem. Display shows the number of the selected disk, disk loads, spins, but the display does not change to show the disk info. (time, decrementing). I cleaned the optical sensor...but no change. Any troubleshooting steps that may lead to getting info on this problem would be appreciated.
Great help, I thought it machine or myself, thank you.
Excellent video and I just fixed my Sony 300 CD after using it for more than 10 years. very concise and professional explanation and it saved me a lot of time by accessing from the back, the video is worth 5 stars plus, thank you very much for taking the time to post it!!
Hi I have the same machine but the frothier will not froth the milk. Any ideas cheers
Thanks mate
Speed 2x too slow to watch it😢
Yawn
@Sortitoutman Exactly!
Go to settings and play it at twice speed then. The little cogwheel at the bottom
JAF patch you sew the velcro backing piece onto clothing or bags then stick the front patch onto it. Used in the forces for easy removal of I'd names.
Ahh ok Thanks
Thank you so much for this video. I was all ready to throw it out the window.
Glad it helped!
Awesome video, just wondering if you experienced the 2x 1.5a fuses popping aswell? My machine runs fine until a disc is inserted. Any thoughts would be appreciated
Nope, but I`d say start with checking the the voltage rails and PSU if its fine when idling doing nothing but when you try to load / spin a disc it fails
My belts are steached out like yours in the video but they are not "dry". They have a bit of lubricant on them. Is this a problem for the new belts that I ordered? Should I clean it up off the pulleys? Thanks
Once they stretch like in the video the next stage they go through is go all sticky / gooey and disintergrate so thats probably what you are seeing. Clean it off before fitting new ones and all will be fine
Thank you so much for this video. I have two of these equalisers and both displays flicker. I have a request, would it be possible for you to make a video on how to replace a rattling cooling fan on Technics SEA909 power amplifier?
From memory I think they use the same fans on other amps and receivers of this age so when one comes in with this fault I`ll cover it - in the meantime just try some contact cleaner on the fan bearings see if it helps a bit
I had this problem with a Magnifica start, it was only three weeks old, it just kept squirting out of the steam nozzle for at least three hours and I took it back to the shop for a refund.
Best video I found explaining the process. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Never seen this before. Great video & info. Link to site & price? Thanks
link to what? The parts used? They are just like for like value caps.
@Sortitoutman sorry, link to the ebau page or website where u r selling the gear
sorry already sold. My Ebay shop is th_hifi_guy and website thehifiguy.co.uk
@Sortitoutman aww wow that was fast. Congrats nonetheless mate. I shall check your page. Blessings and happy holidays to you and yours.
Thanks a lot for your imput, you save my life literally 😊
Happy to help!
Won't power back up!
you must have missed a cable double check them all
@Sortitoutman You're right! Got it.
Will power up. Any ideas on how to get the Sony remote to work with it?
not big enough lol :-)
Thanks
Welcome
I have seen / read / heard many disliking the TCM190 transport. Basically saying they're unreliable & problematic & the small gear breaks often. Have you, Sort It Out Man had any major issues with them? Greetings from Trinidad
They are what they are. Mostley reliable, and very easy to work on. The small drive cog for the mode assist does split, but parts are freely available. Other then that they are quite robust and reliable. Those people complaining clearly have not tried working on Technics decks of the same age where gears and pinch roller plastics just fall appart and you need to spend a week desoldering motors and pcbs to be able to access the actual belts and gears....
@Sortitoutman I understand. Thanks you for replying. "Mostly reliable" & "very easy to work on" are huge positives for me. This well explained feedback I appreciate a lot. The aforementioned sources didn't provide such. More along the lines of "don't buy anything with TCM190 tramsport! Buy a Nak XXX instead." 🙄 I agree with what you mentioned about they nkt having tried these nor done a lot of work to them. Some few who have good things to say abkut them actually have one or a few of this or variants as their decks. I will definitately consider one as a future project. Lastly: YES abt those Tech Decks, ugh! I have 1 in parts under my bed atm lol
What is the next size down from a hundred inch👍
TCL do a 98" otherwise you`d be looking at 85/86" models.
It that size you want 8k resolution
for non-existant content. no ta. this sie is fine for a 4 meter viewing distance with 4k
No you don't, cinema only has 4k resolution on a screen the size of a house, but you're sitting far away so you can't tell. It's all about the viewing angle.
You can pick this massive TV up for under £1900 in the UK currently - has to be a bargain dont you think if you can fit it in / afford it?
Adorable Review!
Thank you 🤗
Where did you get the new pinch rollers? From a search I did it is mostly China.
Excellent video thanks.
no probs
What do you thing of these? On listening back to the part where they are in use, I`m quite impressed for the money!
sound better then before using in the video
Ffs how many adverts can youtube fit into a short video.v
short video? Its 43 minutes long if you skip they`ll add more just like on any YT channel.
@@Sortitoutman Ok I stand corrected.
Other than that an excellent informative video.
fast forward the video
you have a button to do that.....
What a terrific tutorial, but I have another question about this unit. Some of my CDRs aren’t being recognized. Should I clean the lens as you mention (I do have a lens cleaner disc though?) or is this an issue with the laser? The CDRs play fine in other machines.
Not a fault with the machine, its just down to the quality of the discs and that the machine was never designed for CDR as predated the format. Using good quality audio CDR grade discs over data CDR discs will help but wont guarantee playback.
Wow… thank you for getting back so quickly. The strange thing was I burned all the CDRs together, on Verbatim Digital Vinyl CDRs.
Most of the albums I burned to those CDRs were fine.
Quick question can you play videogames ps5 on this tv ? 🙈 it's for a family member
Its just a normal TV you can connect via the oneconnect box hdmi etc
Great video, just bought one second hand off eBay saying that the fuse keeps blowing, hopefully an interesting fix
not much in them to fail so possible just a blown heating element or similar
Hi, Great equipment. I have a Technics from the 90's. Sorry it's not related to this video. I just wanted to ask about your Swarey ultrasonic cleaner. Are you satisfied with it or would you buy another brand? I'm asking because I want to buy the same one or Vevor brand and I don't know which one to choose. I think Swarey would be a better choice but I'm not entirely convinced. 🤝🤝
I`ve had it a couple of years or so now, no issues with it. Actually did a video on it when I got it if you look at my other videos you should see it.
@@Sortitoutman OK thanks a lot. Good luck with your YT channel.
I get one of 200 cds, but the display is a little faded. There is someting to fix this faded display?
No they can fade with age if they have been left on for long periods.
Thanks! This help me a lot
No problem!
in my case it didn't help. I ran 4, 5 water tanks every day for a week and still nothing.
👍
Thank you so much for your help! Was ready to return! How is it no one else can explain it like you?! 👍👍👍
thanks for the kind words
Fucking waste of water 😂
The Sony Lissa line was cool, but rather expensive with the main feature being iLink or Firewire interface between the receiver, MD deck, and CD deck. I own these devices and had them hooked up to my Mac and was able to control them through Firewire after reading the 1394TA specifications and writing software which used the Apple Firewire SDK. Sadly Apple abandoned Firewire for AV transport. Pretty cool devices.
They are the same as any other mdlp unit inside bar the firewire io board replacing the usual toslink / rca connectors and styling.
Problem i have is it will play most of my minidisvs except for around 10 of the discs ive cleaned the lazer and tried the 10 discs in my friends minidisc player and the 10 wont play in his minidisc player either so im wondering if the disc are bad oh as well some play the tracks but no audio and theres nothing wrong with the audio as i troed a disc that does work and it plays fine and audio is fine u got any ideas why 10 discs suddenly wont play im thinking the divs have gone bad for some reason.
either discs are bad, or they are recorded in mdlp and you dont have mdlp support on your machine hence why they play but no audio
Really enjoyed the video but the 13 minutes of black screen at the end just didn't cut the mustard 😔😔
Sorry about that should be ok now
