Oh, that one! Yes, that makes sense, I was thinking there was some nut on the top of the deck that I'd missed. Minimum up/down play. Yes, that's how I try to set it but as you say it seems a bit touchy, it's easy to get it to tight which causes increased friction due to the center (green) felt instead. In what way is it a compromise between play and wind/rewind? The worst problem with that adjustment seems to me that if the play...

Is WD-40 a suitable substitute for the servisol? I cleaned them with it once before the soldering and once after. Initially, moving the switches caused a lot of crackle. Cleaning removed the crackle. The second cleaning resulted in no improvement. Is it possible that using a LOT more of it could help?

I may be being thick but I can't see where to buy them, I could not see them on the ANT website. A link would be useful. Thanks Chris

David, If John can't help I'm sure I can. I'm planning on getting two decks working out of three (TC-366 x2, TC-366-4) so I have a spare. Regards, Peter

maybe your unit came with wrong valves fitted in the first place?

That looks like a very simple cam. If a drawing of it could be made using something like AutoCAD, it might be possible to get one of the firms specialising in making parts using CNC machine tools to produce a small number at a reasonable price in say aluminium.

Hello Steve,
Completely different valves I'm afraid. They also have different base connections. The ECL86 has a higher gm, and different bias. Stick with ECL82's. You should be able to find a couple. J.

Start from the beginning, are the heads thoroughly clean? Do you get the normal amplifier noise through the speaker (volime/tone at max.)even without a tape playing, if you do there is nothing wrong with the output.
Try these first then get back to the forum, there are other potential faults .

I originally bought my first tape-recorder, a Marconiphone 4210, in about 1966, simply because my friends had tape-recorders; it seemed to be the thing to do! We used them for sound effects for ad hoc plays in our school English lessons - I also 'maintained' the school's new language laboratory and became hooked. My personal use at the time was for recording pop music off the BBC's "Top of the ...

Depends a great deal on the condition and if it is working properly. You can offer it on here in the Sets and Parts offered section but you must specify exact price. You may get a higher price on ebay but if you care about it you might want it to go to a good home.
For low speed 3-3/4 & 7-1/2 ips 4 track
In my opinion
Non workers are worth from £30-£70

Alignment cassettes
If you are at all serious about cassette performance then your machine has to be in a good state of adjustment. Accurate alignment reference tapes are getting tricky to get hold of but I've recently been lent a new one produced by A.N.T. Audio which is very good. The cassette itself is a very high quality BASF ...

I'm no expert, but it may be due to higher friction levels.

I wonder if the motor itself needs lubricating. With the machine off and the belt unhooked from the motor, see if the pulley turns freely by hand. If not you might need to remove the motor, strip it and relubricate its bearings.
