De recorder is zo gevoelig, omdat het signaalniveau van hedendaagse apparaten veel hoger is (250mv of meer) dan vroeger bij apparaten met din aansluiting (ca 60mv) Ik heb een N4510 gehad, Een bron als een cd speler of tuner was veel te hard en overstuurde de ingangstrap van de recorder. Dit was op te lossen door een spanningsdeler van 2 weerstanden tussen bron en recorder te maken.

Congrats on finishing this repair! I did two Philips reel to reel machines last year, and they absolutely exhausted my patience for that brand, even though neither was as bad as yours. One tip for adjusting 4-track heads like on this recorder - use a stereo tape and put it in parallel mode, then adjust until it sounds right. It will be VERY noticeable when you hit the sweet spot. One other tip - put some oil on the felt clutch pads under the two reel tables. I know it seems counter intuitive, but it really helps with the smooth running of these mechanisms.

I Recently bought a Philips 22AH561 its pretty much same Amplifier, only difference it's the VU meters are fisheye type amazing sound, thank you for your Videos they are going to be helpful in case i need to repair mine, just subscribed

Thanks a lot! My Stanmore 1 powers up and connects to Bluetooth but there is no audio, even not when I send music through the input through cable. Strangely, when I switch it off the led remains on. Any idea where to start?

Hoi Kristof, dank voor je mooie video's. Als vijfjarig jochie (in 1962) stond ik met open bek te staren naar de bandrecorder van mijn vader, waarschijnlijk de voorganger van dit model, ik herken de interne mechaniek duidelijk, het uiterlijk was net iets anders, maar soortgelijk. Als vierjarige had ik de afstemknop van de middengolf al verkend. Hilversum, Droitwich, Veronica en Waver, de Kleine Klaas wist ze te vinden. Maar nu kon je geluid ook nog opnemen en de Kleine Klaas was geflabbergaasd. Terwijl mijn moeder de huisarts belde om te vernemen hoe mijn onderkaak weer omhoog kon en mijn vader mij de werking van de machine verklaarde, nam de frustratie toe. Ik was immers vijf en mocht dus nergens aankomen. Maar op mijn zesde verjaardag kreeg ik een fantastisch cadeau! Een bandje om mee te oefenen! Het was een goedkoop rotbandje, in de eerste plaats omdat we rasechte ollanders waren, maar natuurlijk ook omdat mijn vader verwachtte dat ik het bandje zou verknoeien. Ik heb dat inderdaad gedaan, maar pas dertig of veertig jaar later. Ik werd beroeps en werkte met machines als de A80 en A820. Oh well! Wat betreft die wow en flutter... de "rondheid" van je aandukrol doet daar niets mee. De capstan moet een "toerental en rondheid" definieren, de aandrukrol drukt alleen maar aan. De kracht van aandrukking is waar het om gaat, die moet voldoende zijn. Verenstaal verliest veerkracht door de decennia, een nieuw veertje doet wonderen. Hoeft geen origineel veertje te zijn, experimenteer maar. Nogmaals: verenstaal verliest veerkracht door de decennia, het wordt slap. Nu ben ik gepensioneerd Kristof en ik geniet van je video's. Dankjewel! Klaas Kruik

Hi Kristof, wow this really is a case of victory against the odds! That head / pressure pad adjustment was typical of Philips - I don't think they ever considered that someone would have to re-adjust it outside of the factory where they probably had special alignment tools / jigs to do the job easily. I note that you added your own blood -curdling curse to many I have uttered while working on Philips equipment. I once wished Phillips design engineers an eternity of sitting bare-bottomed on splintery wooden benches in a cold dark cellar, forever re-stringing the dial cords they designed ... And that belt residue! Anyway you have certainly won this one. It's a great little unit and works probably as well as it did when new. Loved the tape recorded intro by the way! Cheers

Great work! Looks really nice now. Is the center of the pinch roller made of plastic as it looks to be? I see the replacements you can get (for about 28USD) have brass center. If it's plastic, one option could be to drill out the worn out part in the center and inserting a brass tube there.

Thank you for sharing , I would like to find an older tape deck to repair . You give me hope . Thank you Rob

looks fantastic and sounds fantastic job 👏

Pinch roller is worn, is "ovalized", we can see a bit of wobbling on it. Maybe changing it will solve wow and flutter. 🙂

Thanks for an interesting video. Another LW station now gone is RTE Radio 1 in Ireland, which also closed down in 2023.

How and in which video did you clean the contour switch?

Extra leads zijn waarschijnlijk gemaakt als aansluiting naar MFB luidsprekers.

Leuke video, maar nog steeds heb je de print die je steeds losmaakt, niet écht in de servicestand gezet, zoals getoond in de service manual.

Its strange that it is hot chassis radio and it has phono input connected directly to chassis. In other radios there was always small insulation transformer for this input. Also ground and antenna were separated from chassis by "safety" capacitors of its time - something like 1n-5n/1kV.

Hi Kristof Great to get a result like that after so much hard and dirty work! Are you still getting belt residue on your fingers? From my experience with my tape recorder years ago, I think the lack of treble on one track is probably azimuth adjustment of the head. My memory is that it was a fiddly adjustment but I'm sure you'll sort it out. Looking forward to the final video! Cheers

super job so far .sounds great

Yeah the muffled audio is 100% a head alingment issue. Nice work and keep up!

In my experience all R2R machines from the 60's are mechanical nightmares. Well done in taming this one.

H Kristof. I bet you're glad the cleaning is over! I don't think you will be doing another one with perished belts. Looking forward to the next video and seeing it working.

If you were looking for a R2R with simple mechanical construction, I think you got the wrong one 😅 For the next R2R I would suggest one from Tandberg, they are much simpler mechanically, but strong and well buildt. Go for the late 60s, early 70s models, if you can find one that actually needs fixing. There's many of them out there, but they just seemes to work forever. Impressive job so far anyway, dont give up, now starts the fun part where you discover that the heads are not working 😂

czcams.com/video/w5m8SQjcqJw/video.html "GD FCK, that must have hurt" 👺

You can get an assorted kit of C-Clips. Man, it has a crap-load of Electrolytic's that need replacing!

Vous parlez Francais ? si pas pas grave lol I see you had a lot of problems with your Tuner , i dont want to have the same ,mine was front a house , a paper with " Servez vous" , it need just an ac plug (wire Cut ) but i seed , the tuner not work (wire for displacement surely) it's not a problem i hope that's all ... i dont believe ,for exemple 50 yr old Capacitors is dead , why ? i have a 1978 ITT Hifi ALL stock ALL light belt capacitors and diamond for lp "SHURE" ) I'm happy to find your channel , im electrician at work but i love electronic from my childhood , i have a lot of good "old" engine and love to create amplifiers ^^ i'm not fear for (maybe ? ) repare that tuner but if it just need ac plug and wire for tuner that's fantastic :) i want to check today but i dont have the time ... wait and see for tomorrow . Greetings from Mons :)

2:30 i'm pretty sure My version is before 1971/1972 no vacum tube inside luckely (because for componments i need to go brussels , nothing here in Mons that's sad..) Yeah dust exactly like mine 8:54 , DIN plug is very nice i prefere DIN to CINCH :) 25:38 , for light (i dont know if it ok) if not , maybe i change for led (why not after all ? it's just light ^^ )

Found one today at Mons (Belgium) , tomorrow i have to fix it , it's complete and clean ,need ac plug and wire for tuner , happy to have an old telefunken , beatuful vintage ampli/radio , in the futur maybe putin a bluetooth (very easy to make ^^ )

Look that gooey belt .. alcohol cleans that all up ..

Is it available for sale?

😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

Thanks for the explanation! Is there somewhere a Philips museum where (old) audio/video products can be seen?

Very interesting video! Where can I dowload the electric schematic?

fantastic detailed video fantastic job

Hi Kristof. Quite an interesting video. I like watching mechanical parts being cleaned & disassembled. It’s relaxing as long as someone else is doing the work 😅

please I have the same but my problem is that the engine of the vneyle does not turn. Can you tell me where the problem is... thank you

bought one yesterdag for 70 euro

Hi Kristof. This is quite a nice little retro piece. I wonder of the wow might be caused by the cassette itself. Is it the same on different cassettes? The spools can jam if they're wound too tight. I always used to give them a bit of a twist before putting them in, or run them through on fast forward & rewind. Cheers

From the frequency of the wow&flutter i would suspect the pinchroller too. I usually take out the flywheel when i have it open like you had, to lubricate the axel. The motors also probably could do with an overhaul. Open, clean and relubrication.

Скажите, это Ваш основной усилитель ?😊

Leuke video over deze kleine amplifier. Heb een paar jaar geleden een Philips FA890 in mint condition voor een heel zacht prijsje kunnen kopen, die gebruik ik gewoon als mijn hoofd amplifier en speelt als een nieuwe en het geluid in verbinding met mijn Philips FB821 is voor mij gewoon super. Zelfs de groene lampjes rond de volume knop werken nog 😂😂😂

Hahaha, leuk om dit soort apparaten weer terug te zien. In mijn jeugd was in bijna ieder huishouden wel zo een ding te vinden. Philips, Fischer, Itt en nog wat andere merken. Wat raar bij deze is dat de radio er niet in zit, had je meestal wel. Leuke video, dank je wel. Puntje drin puntje druit 😂😂😂😂

I really had to laugh about the crappy music. Completely forgot about this group.

You should set the speed to 33.3 and not to 33.0. Exact speed for an album is 33 and a third RPM. This will also improve values for other speeds.

Hi! Maybe you have this speaker software? My speaker wont turn on, i think it is software damage 🤦‍♂️

A friend of mine had that record player back in the 70s. Not the entire combination, but the stand alone thing. I was always impressed by the sound quality. It looks quite simple and cheap, but whatever components they used inside the plain plastic housing sure did the trick very well. Back then I had a very basic BSR record player, and his Philips easily outperformed it.

It's crazy that Phillips used 2N3055 transistors in this unit. Maybe they were on special offer at the time! I'm used to finding them in power amps of old disco stuff. Strange how some rubber parts convert back to "crude oil" as they degrade whilst others stay as new. I was enjoying the first record... You could have played a bit more of it!

De Jhonny Hoes plaat met zulke liedjes is ook uit 1975.

Hi Kristof Well, it has turned out to be a stylish and apparently quite collectable little radio. That oscillation is a bit of a mystery but I'm sure you will work it out. I wonder if your shorting tuning capacitor is in fact bad earthing of the rotor vanes. maybe attach a clip lead to the rotor to chassis & see if it changes? Anyway, another great job! Now you have a hundred or so other radios to fix! I wonder how much freight would be to Australia... Cheers
