Very very good

I have one of this. Maybe I will try to repair it.

Really interesting and beautiful device. I have one too. But met a problem. The intake assembly needs lubrication. But I can not disassemble it. Did you ever do this operation? Lubrication of passive flywheel is not a problem, bu capstan has a gear which does not allow to take it out.

Be sure to clean the + contacts inside the battery casing. Oxidation will cause lower voltage and slow playback speed kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5fTaGmwoNqjo8k At 2:13 push the silver plate to the right, to disengage, it's has like a clip with the black plate with the buttons

Very useful one 👍👍

Thank you

You know what they say: "A picture is worth a thousand words". Video, even more so. Thank you so much for this! You detail disassembly, cleaning and reassembly - but what about lubrication? Surely all these thousands of nylon, metal and brass parts need a squirt of oil or grease somewhere. Do we just follow the old "if it moves, grease it" rule? Will certain oils or grease harm the nylon or plastic in these babies?

What Carl Kolchak used in The Night Stalker. I'd love to be able to get ahold of one of these in good working order.

I have one with the same belt problem, where can i Buy a fitting one? Also, it's only one belt? Another question, how much would this cost? I mean the recorder, both broken and in working condition. Also what is the cost of the belt? Sorry for so mant questions!

[@rvetech3248]

The belt doesn't cost much. A few years ago I brought 100 mixed belts from ebay. I am sure you can still find some under $ 10.00. I am not sure about the price of the recorder. Sorry.

[@chiaratrovato9475]

hello, i bought this recorder but mine has a rechargeable battery case. so i bought a new battery case (for normal batteries) but it does not fit. do you have any tips?

[@ravikaruppiah5947]

Hi Chiara, Could you please send some photos?

[@nihalshetty6225]

How did you know the belt sizes? Do you have a service manual?

[@rvetech3248]

Thanks for the question. I used a little bit smaller size belt than the original one.

[@nihalshetty6225]

@@rvetech3248 I need your help in replacing the belts for my own model. The belts on mine have snapped and now i don't know which one goes where. Can you please send reference images of the belts in their positions on email or on any social media? Thanks for the help

[@rvetech3248]

Sorry for the late reply. Is that the same model Sony TC-55? If not could you please send me model number or some photos of the assembly to my email [e-mail]?

[@nihalshetty6225]

@@rvetech3248 yes it's the same model

[@nihalshetty6225]
