Rescuing the Glory: Akai GX-95 MKII WIth Playback Woes

[@peterw1213]

Nice fix !👍 That glue issue plagues all electronic products. It's the first thing to check and remove. I own a GX-95 and sooner or later it will need servicing.😂 Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hello, I would like to ask if the added capacitors compensate for the high frequency loss due to head wear?

Mk II is not with copper chasy ??

As you may see.

The GX-95 mk.II was £400 in the UK in 1991. It wasn't the most high-end deck with the best materials, but it was well reviewed and one of the best at its price point. Hi-Fi Choice said the dolby circuits were "almost completely transparent".

Nice find! about the glue! I think I'm gonna remove it on my deck as well, just tp avoid issues in the future. I have a GX-75 MK II which is basically the same deck, just without the side panels. I will also try adding those caps as well. By the way, can you tell me where did you get the frequency response tape from? Thanks!

My friend reduced THD from 8% to 0.7% just by removing the glue!

@@hifirulezzz I'll clean that up this weekend and I'll let you know. I'll try to do some measurements before and after, because I don't trust my ears enough, lol
