#22 - Revox B77 Mk II - Internal View and First Impressions

The tape guide on the right is fixed and does not rotate. Don't ask me why, but it is designed that way. While recapping replace the trimpots as well (by Piher). Calibrating is a straight forward procedure and well documented in the service manual, however a MRL Calibration Tape is expensive. My preferred high-output tape is Basf 911 (or the SM 911 EMTEC Studio Master equivalent), or Agfa PER528. Both tapes are very stable, reliable and perfect for the B77. I personally avoid the popular Ampex 456 because of the sticky shed syndrome, but it sounds equally as good.

There is a RIFFA capacitor hidden behind the voltage selector.I advise you replace it before it pops with the most vile smelling smoke.
