Thank you! I replaced belts on my naka zx7, same mechanics as lx5 and I wrongly allined the cam gear. Through your video I was able to understand my mistake

What tool or technique do you use to remove the very small C-clips off the transport mechanism without damaging the very brittle plastic, especially on the cassette door damper shaft?

wierd approach, zip ties on capacitors, guess it s better than that glue that in time corodes the PCB.

This is why I only use Revox cassette decks. Nakamichi have too many plastic components.

wierd video and very hard to understand what this guy is saying

[@hifirulezzz]

Go make yours, what’s the point to watch and then post ridiculous comments.

Another Amazing Video! I going to try setting my Bias Knob this way, using 400kz and 10k w the T100 software this looks like a easy way to do it?
