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 ?

Since you asked - I do have a very troublesome Sony TC-WA7ES that will randomly rewind or forward in mid-play while the tape loops and builds a thick roll on the capstan eventually jamming the door. I usually had to unplug to stop the madness as even the power switch would not turn off the machine when this happened. Plugging it back would sometimes release the unit from play position but now, even that hasn't worked. Have you seen anything like this or know what it might be from? I may rethink my disposal plan and tinker around some more if there is hope. I hate the idea of these intricate machines going into the garbage or getting stripped for parts if still salvageable. My experience with Sony decks hasn't been great, though the sound quality and features on these decks were great while they lasted.

those sony's have an issue with the motor gear , search google for "Sony TC-WA7ES motor gear" and "fixyouraudio" sells a replacement that is supposed to be good

With a three head deck would you be able to input the 3kz record on to tape and then use the record monitor on the three head to adjust the speed

@cassettedeckandwalkmanre-mw1hy 14 дней назад

Would you ? Because you are recording and playing on the same deck , so let’s say your deck runs 20% faster than any other deck. Now record a 3kHz tape and play it back (or use the “tape” on a 3 head) and it plays back a 3kHz tone Now take that recorded tape to another deck , will it play 3kHz ? Or 3kHz minus 20% ? (As the recording deck is 20% fast)

I have a question about head alignment. I watched you adjust the azimuth and understood it fine. But, I wonder about the erase head. Does it's alignment need adjusted and how would you know when its right as it gived of no audio for a reference? I hope it's not a stupid question, but if you don't ask you'll never find out.

@cassettedeckandwalkmanre-mw1hy 3 дня назад

the erase head does not need any adjustment , only the record / play head . the erase head is even screwed in place without any possibility to adjust. the reason is that since it erases both channels at the same time and there is enough room between 'side a' and 'side b' of the tape so even if its slightly misaligned it wont affect the other side of the tape but will still erase the side that needs to be erased i hope this helps ?
