Sony PMC-2300 DAT Digital Cassette Deck Revival: Overcoming the Toughest Challenges

[@alexismethenitis]

If the machine has a transport mech, you can fix it! Excellent work!

Awesome video - you are very careful and professional in repair!! Watched it all. Amazing work that you do. What lubricant did you use? Thanks

See that metalic capstan and roller? You need to slightly oil that and clean the roller.

That capstan always bends a tiny bit over time. You can bend it back. It's common problem with Sony VCR of that era Yes I know this is DAT. But it's the same for all of these. Sony knew about the problem and never fixed it with the design.

This deck works just fine, stay tuned for the next video.

"we should be good" until they pop out again :P a bit too much plastic. A lot of these plastic gears and clips get brittle and crack. Those clips should have been metal right out of the factory.
