- This is basically a teaser for my upcoming restoration of a Roberts 720A stereo tape deck. This video was taken when i was performing recording and playback tests. The machine seems to work fine mechanically but needs some electrical restoration. one channel is all to easily over driven, the other seems fine, and bias current and or head alignment are out. Recording over a tape results in bleed through from the previous recording. stay tuned.
ok nice information, that information was intersting i hope you can upload every thing , nice machine
This is awesome 👍👍
I have been doing some tests on it to determine what needs to be done. I have integrated it into my hifi to try some recordings, did a couple mono recordings, and am trying a "high fidelity" stereo recording right now. i say that sarcastically because i do not expect it to turn out well. after i play back the album it should give me an idea of where i need to start. i know its been a year but its hard to find time to do this stuff between working and raising a 2yr old. updates to come.
I just bought the same machine off eBay and awaiting its arrival. When will you post the restoration vid as I am curious about your restoration methods. Thanks
Sooooo... anything new? We all love repair videos but restoration videos are the next best thing.
nothing yet, we just finished a bunch of renovations at home so i have had little time. this will likely be a winter project.
Anything new with the reel to reel? I just got one I’m trying to fix up.
no nothing yet. I set it up on my hifi and used it for a bit to see what is wrong. Needs some caps and belts for sure, motor is noisy so needs oil, havent had the time to dig into it, had other renovations around the house taking up too much time, and lots of camping with the family, and my father in law and I got into model railroading over the pandemic. Might try and do something this winter with it while i am walled off from the cold.
