- today I am tackling one of my favorite decks, the "bomb proof" Yamaha K-540 together with my 14YO that asks all the right questions !. The outcome was rather disappointing as we couldn't finish it all in one go but look at the end what went wrong
Yamaha K-540 tape deck cassette deck repair servicing, changing belts, cleaning
my name is Rene, from 1985 to 1999 I used to repair in and out of warranty cassette decks and walkmans for Kenwood, Yamaha , Pioneer, Sanyo and other brands and with the current increasing interest in analog audio, and cassette decks in particular, I started this channel to share tips and tricks that I have picked up over the years.
I will mostly do 'end-to-end' video's about repairing, servicing and adjusting the deck from beginning to end with a lot of talking , showing , tips etc and very little editing. If you have any questions or particular video's you would like to see just reach out and maybe I can assist ?

Brings a better atmosphere and keeps it fun ! Also shows it’s not some black magic that were doing 😂
Hi Rene & Robin or is it Ray & Robyn? Another fine Video squire, That Deck looks quite similar to my KX-400, Not sure about the internals as I’ve never took the top off mine but it still works fine, Well to my ear anyway, I’m definitely looking into getting some Test equipment, I’ve downloaded Spectroid for my Android Phone and looking at either getting or making a Test Tape plus I’m also interested in getting hold of the NAK T-100 W&F Analyzer & an Oscilloscope possibly at some point in the future… Anthony - Birmingham/UK 🇬🇧
we listen to everything but officially its Rene & Robin ;-) . the kx-400 is an auto reverse deck if i remember correctly ? so that has a different transport from the k-540 which is not an auto reverse
@@cassettedeck-walkman-repair Ah ok & thanks for correcting me Rene, Another difference I’ve noticed is that the 400 uses a mechanical (wheel) counter whereas the 540 uses a digital (led) counter if I’m not mistaken?
Kid is annoying...
Yes , teenagers can be annoying
