Yes to quartz lock.😊 I have a GX-95 MK1. I've only seen some tape deck forums someone did it. Thanks for your detailed maintenance video. Very useful for me in my next servicing.

Красава, очень детально и красиво все сделал без лишней информации. Буду свой обслуживать так как гаедает механизм поднятиня головок при нажатии стоп.

Great video. I was looking for one particular thing: the idler/reel torque. I've been wondering about the huge torque of this model. I tried two different kind of rubbers for idler and both are not slipping, very big torque. But, from your video here, at 1 hour 1 minute on we can hear that the idler is not slipping, the motor is slowing down when you are restraining the reel axle. This means the most logical explanation: the motor has been chosen to give correct amount of torque. It's not like most mechanisms that are based on clutch, this is not designed to slip. And when the reels and idler are oily, it means the idler ring has given that oil. I had the ring also go really hard. It also means it is different rubber than the belts. Maybe it's different rubber from unit to unit, as you say only second time you find really hard idler.

Thanks for the video. I have to renovate two GX-52's soon, so some inspiration is a good thing! GX-52 is direct drive single capstan, and dual gab single head, otherwise I think that the tape transports are somewhat similar.

You should do a step by step video on how to adjust the internal pots for the bias and level knobs

Thanks for the recommendation. There are some videos already about that alignment process, but if it would be interesting, then i can release that video also. :) Cheers

Thank you, just one more question, how can I get a setting gauge like the one in your video? I really like your calmness and professionalism.

@LT.tapeheads.service 6 ай бұрын

@@richardmayr6 these gauges are available in ebay and i think i have seen in ali also. Just search something like "Cassette Head Alignment Gauge" Thanks mate! Cheers

Hello, could you please tell me where you bought the idler and pich rollers?I bought from ebay a kit,and idler is slipping more than old one.Thank you

@LT.tapeheads.service 7 ай бұрын

Hi, i am buying idlers from fixyouraudio or revoxde ebay. Now i have tried one supplier from poland, hes also selling in ebay - those are ok too. Pinch rollers i buy from fixyouraudio or ali sometimes. When you installed new idler have you cleaned good tape spindles surface where goes idler in contact? - thats the most common thing most forget. If you bought idler that are transparent then just put it straight to recycle bin. Cheers

Hey there! Do you know if the Tape unit from MK2 fits on MK1? My MK1 is defect and have the opportunity to get an MK2 Tape unit. Thanks you in adavance for your help :)

Hi! Tapetransport is actually the same, just head block is different from what i have seen and also modes motor is quieter on mk2. Personally i have never tried to swap them around but i think they are compatible. Also what is wrong with mk1 mecha? Cheers

@raulcordoba6965 5 ай бұрын

@@LT.tapeheads.service Thank you for your fast answer! I have missing parts on my MK1 for the Tape Transport. Just have the front lid of the Transport. The holding case is missing. And I have the chance to buy a complete serviced tape drive unit from an MK2 with a small platine for 125€. Think about to buy this und hope that it works with my MK1. What would you do? Have a great weekend and thank you :)

@@raulcordoba6965 hi, playback head connectors will be different due to mk2 is balanced one and mk1 not, but i think its not an issue just soldering will be required. Otherwise serviced transport from mk2 for 125 is good deal if it is really serviced :) Cheers
