View Full Version : Crapola Crapolarebitch!!!! VintageTX! WhiteSE 03-19-2005, 11:02 AM Man, the bezel under the rotating start/stop/rwd control knob in my Sony Superscope R2R just desintegrated in my fingers as I tried to fast fwd. Can a new one be made? Also, VintageTX,,,do you have an interest in a free copy of a Sony Superscope Sterecorder Service Manual? I have one that I can copy. ralarcon 03-19-2005, 11:48 AM :worried: I feel your pain ! Vintage TX 03-19-2005, 01:02 PM Sorry to hear that, can you post a picture ? Thanks for the offer on the service manual, can come handy in the future. :thmbsp: WhiteSE 03-19-2005, 03:45 PM here's a pic Vintage TX 03-19-2005, 03:53 PM Thanks for the picture, is it plastic or metal ? WhiteSE 03-19-2005, 05:24 PM The material seems like metal,,,it must be metal to have lasted this long,,,it feels like lead,,dark grey metal.. The little piece I am holding seems pretty heavy. OvenMaster 03-19-2005, 10:38 PM Ten bucks says it's that cheap pot metal stuff like taillights bezels used to be made from back in the day. I personally don't know of any way to fix it. Just my two cents. Tom WhiteSE 03-19-2005, 10:51 PM Yeah, you may be on to something there! Vintage TX 03-20-2005, 03:32 AM White Se, I don't have any knobs like that one... :no: Try post a "wanted" at Yahoo's reel to reel forum, maybe someone can help. cabinover 03-20-2005, 05:20 AM Get thyself to the hardware store and pick up some JB Weld. Patch her up. If need be it can be sanded and painted too. WhiteSE 03-20-2005, 06:12 AM That, I shall try! :thmbsp: Get thyself to the hardware store and pick up some JB Weld. Patch her up.

If that a faux-chrome on that trim piece you might have trouble making it look original though.. |
