@@Capturing-Memories Absolutely nothing. The bearings felt smooth and free so I didn’t see any point in trying to do anything to them, and the Hall effect position sensors were the only other thing I could see to clean. I didn’t expect that to have any effect, and it apparently didn’t.
@@timf-tinkering That is incredibly slow. I'm amazed anything could be reproduced at that speed. I got a VHS to record the entire medium wave band, with head switch clicks, and Hi Fi sound, multiplexed radio , demultiplexed on replay. I got six hours out of that, but with the clicks. I told Sony how to do it, six months later the HiFi VHS came out...
The idea of recording notes onto the tracks and cutting between them is pretty much exactly how 10cc did their 'wall of sound' in "I'm Not In Love' 😁
The pinch roller looks a little shiny, perhaps. More likely to be the cause of w&f than the direct-drive capstan.
Nice follow up 👍
Type of thing would be ideal for recording multiple radio stations at once for monitoring/analytics
What did you accomplish by spraying the back side of the flywheels? The shaft bushings are underneath on the opposite side.

@@timf-tinkering My point was, spraying the top of the flywheel does nothing, the shaft is affixed to the flywheel.
hi pre read like on the betacam a500p or a 75p liner audio
How does this system cope with the head switch changeover eack 25th second?
I'll bet the flutter and the spooling problem is due to the takeup real mechanism, too tight ...
@@tortysoft This machine records linear tracks using static heads.
@@timf-tinkering Thanks. What remarkable reproduction from such a slow head to tape speed. 15/16th ips?
4.18mm/s, roughly 1/6 ips. It's designed to record for 24 hours continuously on a T-180 tape.

The timecode might be encoded across tracks to flag tampering .
most likely pinch roller , probably hard as brick - that's you problem with tape speed 🙂 thanks on another video 🙂
25:50, loan it to Hainbach or Look Mum No Computer, I'm sur they could do something creativ with that! 😁
absolutely useless knowledge, but I love it!
I can see the pinch wheel would be easy to remove and clean
