Hi Matt, you've got great tutorials, ty! Where are you located? I have a Otari mx55 that needs ur expertise!

[@5thcomm]

Hi DG, What issues are you having? I'm in Charlotte.

[@davidgreene9837]

@@5thcomm Thx for responding! Oh great, I'm over in Henderson. The play wheel is rubbing...maybe a brake issue? I bumped the 10.5 reel against the wall while pivoting the unit, & it hasn't been right since..smh,😧 FF & Rwd seen to work fine.

[@joefoster2906]

Thanks for the demo. What is your favorite brand of open reel deck?

[@5thcomm]

My favorite is the Pioneer RT 909. It is by no means the best, just my favorite.

[@IrieTicket_1]

Nice Reel, Great Video, Thanks for sharing 👍❤👍

[@robertmartin6208]

I need you to work on my deck!

[@EnochLight]

Fantastic deck, Matt (and not a bad price)! Did you end up replacing both tension belts and the counter belt?

[@5thcomm]

Thanks EL. Tension arm belts were replaced, counter belt was ok.
