Replacing the motor start cap on my reel to reel, as it had leaked a bit. I looked online for help in doing this and although there are forum posts around I couldn't find a video for the TC-270. So I produced this, sorry video quality isn't great. Hope some find it interesting.
Notes on video:
I see there is no video of me taking out the front panel screw located left of the play head, but there is one there.
The front panel is a pain to remove because of the spring clip behind the volume sliders.
I'm using a 2uF replacement capacitor as I live in the UK, original cap has a 1.5uF and 0.5uF connection in the UK models these are linked together (in my case by a green link wire). This green wire isn't needed after the 2uF cap is fitted.
The value of the cap maybe different in your country.
Entertainment only video, seek proper advice before trying to repair or messing with and around electrical items.
