U need to change the belt, pinchroller, lubrication of gears, calibration of motor speed and demagnatize the head...

[@RoughJustice2k18]

Agreed. That's exactly what was missing from this video; belt replacement, gear and mechanical lubrication, head azimuth alignment/demagnetizing, tape speed calibration.

[@vishayapodcast2021]

wish there are more ppl like u,we have tons of vintage players ready to be repair!

[@fjr4703]

Estupendo trabajo. Por favor, qué tipo de papel y/o de impresora se emplea para recrear las indicaciones de Play, Stop, etc?? Great job. Please, what type of paper and / or printer is used to recreate the indications of Play, Stop, etc?

[@markbutler5730]

It was good how you took it all apart and completely rebuilt it like new .

[@user-et6vp8rk4y]

What a craftsmanship! I totally respect you.

[@user-pi8vt7ut3n]

...ха!-, у меня точно таой-же был магнитофон!-, отличный ма-фон для своего времени,пол страны с ним в кабине объездил, в то время автомагнитол ещё не было, а работа проделана классная, молодец парень, дай бог тебе здоровья и благополучия, новых творческих успехов и хорошего настроения 👍👍👍🤓👏🤫👌🆗🇷🇺👈📻📼⏳!!!

[@cuongtn]

Excellent work! One of most hardest restoration on youtube.

[@rcaygumicabk8072]

If your talking about small stuff probably the hardest

[@dangligor2745]

The rubber belt is worn out. You need to change it with new one. Maybe need to check rubber role who move tape in front of head.

[@razareg4866]

Back in 2014, I bought a General Electric cassette recorder from the 70s/80s. After using it for a while, the recorder broke and I later found out what was wrong with it. I found out that the tape belt broke and later I got another tape belt that was used for another cassette player's counter. I used that and sure enough, I got the recorder to run again.

[@giggling_boatswain]

Hmmmm ... No lubrication of the flywheel shaft or metal plates crushing against each other? Abrasion marks on them indicate places of contact. A drop of oil would be nice. The pressure rubber roller can be held in kerosene for 2 hours- Will be soft like just from factory.

[@RoughJustice2k18]

Once the pinch rollers go hard and shiny, I usually throw them out and fit new ones, especially in decks that are 40+ years old.

[@FluxCondenser]

That was fun to watch and you did a great job.

[@ACURAOCULTA]

Very very good

[@beachboysbiggestfan]

this is inspiring and in an odd way very stimulating to watch. thank you for sharing this with the world! i feel empowered to take apart my TCM-737. it struggles to rewind or fast forward on one end of the tape or the other (more tension)

[@dangligor2745]

You need to change rubber belt from motor to driven shaft. Contor belt is good idea to be changed as well.

rattle can paint is only temporary. it tends to deteriorate over a short time. proper paints require an activator, and a spray gun

[@jasonw6688]

Great job with the cleaning and rebuild! However the music still sounded warbly - like it was slowing down and speeding up - after you hit the rewind button.

[@Himachl-ox4hu]

[@stueyquinn9331]

That looks proper amazin! Very stylish well done

[@MaksovichPlay]

И по факту в конце видно что лентопротяжный механизм не работает как положено. Есть предположение что масляными перчатками залапаны места которые должны быть чистыми. Спиртом протереть не мешало бы пасики и места к ним прилегающие.

[@patilbaba178]

Wow,i like it very well. Thanks!

[@muhammadiftikhar3503]

Good work

[@comicmania2008]

Intricate work, I think I'd have been lost after taking the second spring off it! :)

[@sarmachinta918]

I like this type of tape recorder

[@andrewtowell6074]

Amazing work, thanks for sharing!

[@JohnK-gl3um]

We see a disassembly, followed by a cleaning and cosmetic make-over, then a re-assembly. Nothing seems to have been repaired or replaced - what was wrong with it to start with?

[@Kava217]

Браво.💋❣️

[@wang_.]

I honestly prefer the yellow look. Adds age to the product

[@juanchipote9336]

Todo un arte estas restauraciones. Yo tengo un aparato como éste en marca Panasonic; con algunas diferencias en diseño, pero la misma forma, la misma estructura. Lamentablemente en mi ciudad no existen talleres para restaurar. Los técnicos con trabajos hacen reparaciones a ciertos aparatos y suelen tardarse mucho o hacerlo mal.

[@shibushaila3199]

Very well done

[@mhmrules]

Gee, I'm usually just content with a rubber ducky in the bathtub.

[@jemyanezofficial]

Wow. One of most satisfying videos! U're a Genius! Awesome!

[@karimdailyjazz]

Very good job good cleaner

[@shamimrafisep]

nice work

[@franciscoalvarez2875]

Excelent !

[@fhwolthuis]

Great job! 👍

[@bylagu]

I had this type of cassette player/recorder, but of Natinal Panasonic.

[@MarathonianWarrior]

Either you were working in SONY or you recorded the dissasemply or you are the Superman.

[@andrewtowell6074]

You record disassembly lol

[@ledat19121991]

Great!

[@dickmund2612]

excellent work sir keep it up

[@RJ-yf3qs]

Need great patience which I don’t have too.❤❤

[@brijlal973]

Good work.

[@ubartshaul4369]

Very good job 👍

[@sarmachinta918]

How to buy such type of player.

[@gobletrx]

Thanks for very inspiring video....which solution did u use in that pink lights pot?

[@freddyfilser1176]

sweet

[@giuseppelavecchia775]

Ottimo restauro,ma mi dovresti spiegare come hai fatto a rimontare,capisco a smontare,ma a rimontare un'intera meccanica,come se niente fosse,o hai una memoria fotografica,o hai il diagramma stampato in testa,o in testa hai un hard disk,per non parlare di tutti i cavi risaldati sui pin originali,ti sei fatto un promemoria di tutto?,ehh,non un briciolo di esitazione in memoria,boh,sarai un genio

[@johneygd]

Well done.

[@bolivargomez7679]

Excelente 👍👍👍👍👍

[@boseelectronicstrivandrum8086]

Super 👍

[@peabrain707]

what was being used at 12:08 I have a similar dent/scratch on my cassette and I want to fix it.

[@simons_pics]

Did you replace all the electrolytic capacitors ?

[@RealEpikCartfrenYT]

29:10 it still has issues. The tape isn't being played at the correct speed. You would need to change that belt, motor, or both

[@knowledgetalk5916]

One year later😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@andreslb151]

Why do you retrobright a black part?

[@RoughJustice2k18]

That puzzled me too.

[@haihuachen2627]

looks like about 50 yrs old, not just 40.

I can do everything up as far as 7.37 then I cry, sweep it all into the trash, and go back to using my smartphone.

[@turtl777]

I have 4 of these...donated from a church..needing no restoration

[@ffff-ge7lm]

[@thien8artdesign]

Need to be more careful.

[@pandurangan4844]

One hour later . You mistaked one year later please correct it 👍

[@vinodkumargandotra96]

Send it to me i want to buy

[@user_Francisco]

Good.. where can I buy one?

[@Mr_Old]

I bought it at a thrift store

[@albertchiu655]

only for demonstration, not practical at all!

[@leoniconstante5133]

Maravilhoso,gostei.em saber quê tem gente com essas habilidades.tenho trez destes,e ninguém quer arrumar.caxias do sul RS.27:03:2021.

[@albertchiu655]

reassembling seems impossible!

[@RoughJustice2k18]

Not as impossible as some stereo boomboxes.

[@gurutimes2]

what a horrible noise coming out of it its still broken !

[@francoisrevol7926]

white paint, seriously? :-p

[@jGuedeszero100]

Kkkkkkkk verdade né

[@lukasgayer5393]

It will get yellow again very soon :( These restorations aren´t permanent. I´ve tried many times.

[@catry707]

Am I the only only who see he doesn't repair nothing? Cleaning and cosmetic job. Weird a lot of things ... like he doesn't care about paint his floor and table!!

[@BavarianM]

Waste of time honestly It's a low quality mono deck, not worth for anything besides an old ZX Spectrum

[@Super8Rescue]

Waste of time? What rubbish.

[@ashokbulbule3360]

पागल लगते हो,मजा तो आया.

[@davidjames666]

why not just use your phone for music, and send this to the recycling center where it can be made into more phones

[@geoffquickfall8424]

How boring is that

[@chautranvan38]

Number 1.

[@Ashen2501]

You seriously used gloves, covered with grease, when you assembled a deck unit? WTF man?! It's not a "restoration", it's a nuisance, heresy! Rubber parts will never work properly after that. And you had to properly align and adjust deck unit after assembling, using oscilloscope and special alignment cassettes... It was terrible...

[@chekiechekie]

aligning mono heads is very easy, and can be done by ear, since the tolerance is far less sensitive than a stereo head. None of this oscilloscope and alignment cassette needed.

[@Ashen2501]

@@chekiechekie So using gloves covered with grease doesn't concerns you at all? "Restoration" means that device will work like a new or almost like a new. What's worse - even on mono heads you have to use oscilloscope with alignment tapes - it IS crucial to make the device compatible with stereo decks. Even few angular minutes of a heads misalignment will fuck it up. ^_^

[@chekiechekie]

@@Ashen2501 sheesh, stop being such a drama queen! If you look at the video based on what he achieved - to make an old tape recorder look awesome, and totally clean up the mechanism and make it work (albeit not perfectly), then he is to be commended wholeheartedly. As for your oscilloscope and alignment cassette, consider that the frequency response of the mono head ranges from maybe 80hz to about 10khz or maybe even less, and rubbish dynamic range, honestly speaking, aligning the head by ear is sufficient and doesn't deserve more time than that. There are two screws for the head, the right hand side is fixed and doesn't need adjusting, and the left hand one is the one needing the adjustment. Put on a bit of dance music with a lot of treble, or some classical music with a lot of brass and high strings and i bet you that you'd do just as well as an oscilloscope. Anyway, to my mind there is no WTF about this video at all. Just chill out!

[@No_Way67]

I dont think Sony ever made anything in white.
