March 20, , AM Welcome, Guest. Please login or register. Hi All, I recently went to the local recycling facility council tip and spotted a chap about to chuck a Sony TC reel to reel into the skip. I persuaded him to deposit it in the boot of my car instead. He said it worked "last time it was used" So I bought a brand new tape for it, and some spools.

Would have been the cheapest Sony model in the late 70s and early 80s. I would be immensely grateful if someone could help me. You must log in or register to reply here.

The TC has large-sized VU meters which indicate the average level of complex musical waveforms. Other features include high performance Ferrite and Ferrite heads, tape bias and equalization switches to obtain the maximum characteristics according to the type of tapes, and a tape tension regulator to reduce wow and flutter.

Only two years prior, the Akai DS had stunned the world by selling in significant numbers, delivering outstanding sound-per-pound from the at the time dormant open reel format. The TC was just a huge MDF box with a metal front plate to which a massive AC motor was attached, containing all the essentials for great sound from four-track open reel, but nothing more. It was only capable of running at 7. The little Sony was a fun machine to play — in a cumbersome way, but then again, all open reels without logic control are clunky. The major transport functions were handled by a single rotary control, and there were two record buttons so that the two stereo tracks could be utilized separately for mono recording and editing. An array of pulleys, clutches, and belts produced motive force from a single big motor. Finding a deck that can perform as well as it did when it was first released is a difficult task.

And they shouldn't be very expensive. Automatic tape back-tension control means machine is easy on tapes, unlike similar vintage Akai machines. March 26, at pm. The tape counter not working probably means the counter belt has perished, it's a very thin diameter. My TC can't record on both channels. Replies 2 Views I like my November 26, at pm. The 9-position tape selector does mean the is capable of recording on virtually any tape, old or new. Log in. I need to remove the head of that pause lever which is just a small aluminum cylinder but I don't want to force it.

Very respectable performers. I'm attempting to fix mine and I've loosened the front cover to the point where it needs to have the Pause lever "knob" removed so that I can pull the cover away from the Reel to Reel, but I don't know how to remove that lever knob. My TC can't record on both channels. One-motor with three heads and 9-position tape selectors.

Loading Comments Disable the auto stop on Sonys it is usually a "feeler" that detects the absence of tape and shuts off the transport. The motor running pretty hot is a good clue here to a failing capacitor. Install the app. Log in Register. Forums All Forums New posts Search forums. He said it worked "last time it was used"
