I just replaced The idler tire and all the belts on one of these and let me say, it is the most god-awful tedious complex to repair POS that I've ever had the unfortunate luck to work on. I would rather repair 15,000 different turntables and their Auto lift mechanisms then take one of these apart again. By the way thanks for the video it was helpful particularly I had one of the motor wires come off and I had to resolder it, and your video helped me figure out where it came from
Hello, I’m your subscriber, I constantly watch your videos, maybe you can help. The problem is the following: I changed the idler and belts on a Nakamichi ZX-7. I assembled it and the motor of the program gear constantly rotates it to the stop position (even when the gear lowered the block of heads and reached the stop position). Doesn't respond to the play button. Rewinding works with difficulty through the brake stops, since they are not retracted. I disconnected the tape drive mechanisms and moved the resistor gear, which moves the software gear; the gear motor only increases the rotation speed when the resistor rotates. That is, the gear motor always moves only in one direction, regardless of the play or stop or rewind buttons. I also twisted the VR 602 603 resistors responsible for adjusting the position of the gear, but this did not give any result. If you have encountered such a situation, I ask you to help with advice .
