Hi, i know that the forum about it is about 10 years old, but i have a quick question, i just found the same machine in nice conditions even with the cover. But its about 100miles from me. You think will be worth it the trip? ThanksReel to Reels seem to be showing up here lately. The latest is a very large TEAC X-1000R. This bad boy is big. Ten and half inch reel to reels. Our appliance installer found it today free. Glad he wants to keep her. I have too much stuff and with rents getting out of hand here in SE New York I have to look at different quarters. Will keep a 6010 Vintage si sending me and a 1230. I get to play with the 1000. Going to be tough going down to one system from three :tears:
Anyone familiar with these beasts? Have not opened her up yet. Are these direct drive on the reel motors with a belt on the center motor? Seems that way. Goes into FF and RR. The casptans dont engage but that could be the usual TEAC problem. There are two tape guides that appear to be missing screws that hold them on. One is to the left of where the tape goes into the heads and the other is where the tape exits. Looks like a belt is out on the center motor. Will see when I get inside. Another issue seems to be the button for record is flashing when it on. Any clues will be appreciated Before pics posted. Any idea what size screw I need to hold the guide on.
Thanks Eric
Ok, help would be greatly appreciated, lol. I recently acquired a teac x-1000r, took her home, and opened her up to find the belt was gooo. After installing a new belt I took apart the capstan motor and found out it was fried from the previous owners attempts to use it after sitting on a shelf for years with a belt that was no longer present. After acquiring a new capstan board and motor I installed it and the unit fired up and I played and recorded all last Saturday with no issues. Sunday comes and no dice, No play functions work, I took back apart and the capstan motor isn't turning on when the rollers are at half mast like it should Help? Thank u in advance for any advice
I bought a used motor with control board out of a working unit supposedly. I pulled the motor and inspected. It looks very good inside. What voltage should I see at which pins on the input. Thank u
