I used an app Advance Spectrum Analyzer PRO from my phone and I've verified your deck is calibrated just by your video's sound coming through my speakers. 🙂
Thanks for the video! Replaced belts yesterday on my Toshiba PC-D10. Playback speed changed dramatically, so I also ordered this calibration tape. I did it by ear, but it is a little bit off.
I wish they had a speed tape. Most 8 track players dont have an adjustment either. Gotta do it by ear or play the cd or digital file simultaneously and see if it lines up
Well, that is an excellent question. Really, you have to trust the integrity of the seller. He has a totl Pioneer CT-F1250 that it was made with. Ive also verified by ear and by playing the digital file at the same time to make sure they are in sync and end at the same time.
The Unit you talkt about that is slow and normal in speed. Oil the capstan bearing and the motor. Or check if the motor is faulty og its a DC motor and not a asynkron AC motor
I didnt know that Marantz produce such beautiful tape recorder in that year. I prefer this than the Akai one I bought.

Hi… the 3000 Hz tone is Only for speed adjustment. The 8 KHz tone is for the head alignment by adjust the azimuth and not for speed adjustment
Thanks for the demo. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you for watching and dropping by in the comment box! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love Marantz.Wonderful.🥰

I used a prerecorded album and synchronised it with a streaming service of the same track. Test tapes IMO are way too expensive.
Thats how i use to do it. Just as effective, just takes more time.
How do i test my 8 track player for correct playback speed.

How do you know your test tape was recorded on a calibrated reference deck?

Great video. how much was the test tape?
Thank you!! The tape was 28 bucks and 7 for shipping off of ebay! Worth every cent for all the time and monotony it will save me in the future.
@@rockrollhi-figuy6824 could you make a copy of the test tape?
@@stereomann83 i would imagine i could. Itd be better to simply generate a test tone and make my own being that the Marantz is confirmed accurate.

can you convert this test tape to some digital file , so people can download it and record on their tape deck
Im sure i could if i had some recording software. But that wouldnt help you to record a test tape to calibrate the deck you recorded it with
@@rockrollhi-figuy6824 yes, you can use Audacity transform from cassete to digital , keyword on youtube "how transfer your cassete to pc"
no way you can hear that 0.001 Hz first you should spray conntact cleaner
