It’s here and it’s in perfect condition. Just setting up and rearranging all but yes on the test -fantastic!

Received my deck today. Thank you very much for the careful packaging. I’m listening to tapes I made over 40 yrs ago. Analog all day!

January 2021 – Overhaul we did to a Sony TC-650 tape deck

Hi Curt, Received the deck on Wednesday. Thanks again for such great service! It works great once again.

cheers,

Dear Sirs,

With this message I want you to know that you deserve a heartfelt thank you for the very helpful step-by-step instructions for fixing the (not-yet-entirely-)stuck pinch roller mechanism of my A-3300SX. Being a relative beginner, I found confidence in doing it successfully and I intend to make more repairs as a hobbyist, after thoroughly reading your ‘Used Tape Deck Overview’ chapter! Keep up the very good work!

Hey Curt, Just wanted to let you know my Otari deck arrived safely, and a hearty thanks for your masterful work! I’m presuming the only lubing needed will be a periodic drop from the topside (under capstan dust cap as I’ve done before).  Never heard if there’s another port in back of the motor.

Thanks again!
Steve

Hi Curt, Package arrived this morning, many thanks for the fast shipping and great packing. The Mug is really nice, it’ll get used regularly, the finish and quality on the hubs and the adapters is first class. I’ll be back, thank you once again.

(My) unit arrived early today. Boxed beautifully! Opened and wrapped beautifully, absolutely no damage. The little damage button on the outside indicated no trauma to the box. Side boards likewise. But most importantly the unit plays beautifully! Thank you so much. I know now where to send my units. Thanks again!

Greetings! Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the fantastic tutorial on the B77/PR99 disassembly for servicing the switches and VU meters. I found it extremely clear, well written and informative as I was doing this exact task. A great help.

Best Regards,
Dan
