I received a tracking number. But checking USPS, there were no shipment registered. I contacted the company and was informed that he would send a replacement and also include a set of belts for one of my 1000 ZXL´s at no cost. Of course I was satisfied. And again I received a tracking number. Again no item to be found when checking USPS. This time I mailed USPS and received answer that they had not registered that shipment. I have tried several mails to the company, but no answer. I understand this is a one man company and things may happen. Anyone else that have any information? The parcel was to be sent to family I Texas btw.

New caps in FL Meter and frequency adjusted to 25.6 kHz from 25.5 previously. Section 7 however requires 400hz test tape playback and 100mv to be measured at TP 101 (201) but values measured range between 90 and 110 but wont hold steady with a continual wandering up and down. I can adjust to get both levels wandering equally but the midpoint reads around 5db on the level meters at 100mv rather than the 0db target. Anyone have any clues as to why the wandering is occurring?

I can only say that I and many others here use Marrs Communications exclusively for our Nak belts and from my personal experience at least, I can say he and his service has been perfectly reliable. Maybe something is wrong now for what ever reason, but Fred has been helping to support our hobby for a long time. Hope you can sort this out.

He should have done that a long time ago before it got out of hand. Really all he has to do is set a quota every week. Once he gets a certain number of orders, put up a notice saying that the queue is filled and he is not accepting orders at this time. Fill the orders, take down the notice and start over. I would say he should take orders Monday - Wednesday, then stop taking orders and use the rest of the week to fill them.

I counted with that. It has been three and half month since I've paid for the belts ($174,35). I consider being a huge issue Fred's information with assurance the belts has been already dispatched with provided tracking number. After USPS web page informed me "Electronic shipping info received" I contacted USPS and got an information no parcel was picked up or received under this tracking number. Than - Fred's reassurance everything will be taken care of (3-18). Since than Fred hasn't been responding to my messages and no belts haven't been received. :-( Ivan On 10.4.2014 22:15, Willy Hermann wrote: > Last I talked to him, Fred had had some family issues and had taken a > few weeks to take care of it.

He said he had a death in the family, way back in the fall. (Now, there's another death?!?) For almost half a year at least, there have been regular excuses, time and time, and time again. Maybe, those of you who are technicians, who order a large number of belts, over the course of the year, maybe you guys get better service. However, if you are just a guy who needs a couple of belts. You will wait, and wait, and wait............. As I said, after more than a month of no communication. It took only 1 DAY, after filing a paypal claim, for Fred to respond. 1DAY!!!! That's all it took, and he shipped the belts. (Amazing, what took 6+ weeks, now only took 1 day) (It took the threat of paypal, to get him to respond) Only, they WERE ALL INCORRECT. They were not the right belts. Oh, and if you DARE to complain to paypal about your order, he will refund it, and NEVER do business with you, again. So... you wait, and wait, and wait, because you are "afraid" you will offend Fred, and he won't sell you belts. However, at some point.. it's fish or cut bait. I find that.... bad service, period. It 's a shame, as he had the proper D4 belt. He can have all the correct belts in the world, but if you can't have them, then what's the point.

I had a few delivery problems in the past which were rather rapidly taken care of. If Willy says Fred's got some personal issues to care of, well, let's give the man a chance... All the best to all of us, and to those that have already spent some good money in belts and haven't gotten them delivered (yet). A great week end to all. Rodrigo Rodrigo Krause dos S. R.

New belts, new sales items, special deals for NakTalk members, etc. It always seemed to me that he when far above & beyond so that we could obtain the belts we need to maintain our beloved cassette desks. Here's to you Fred. I hope whatever trouble that has befallen you is soon cleared up and life quickly turns around for you.

Maybe an archive of Nakamichi decks and their respective belt sizes and dimensions and some way of listing part #'s and sources that we have tried and had good results with.  Good Ol'  trial and error is what has gotten humanity this far in the first place .

The fit was perfect and the wow and flutter was .02% max so I'd say they are good. I bought a belt another time and it was fine and someone gave me one to install on a Pioneer RT-909 reel to reel, which needs the belt to be perfect, and it worked great. I do use Vintage Electronics as an alternate source when Fred gets backed up, but I caution that I have not tried his belts on any Nakamichi products.

But in all of his listings the guy makes a point that the belts just have to be of the correct size. He even refers to Fred but that's just business rivalry. I actually needed a belt for my Cassette Deck 1 and bought it from Revox_de in Germany but after installing it the sound of the deck changed significantly so when checked I could actually see the belt wobble over the flywheel at regular intervals so I need a good belt for my deck and it seems like I'll just have to order from Fred and hope it arrives soon.

There are a few people defending Marrs. I've noticed that most of them are "techs", ie: they order more than 3 sets of belts in a year. (Or, they've have not ordered belts in a very long time) I've ordered belts from Marrs in the past. and have gotten great results. Until last fall.... I've mentioned my experience a few times, no need to go into it. Let's just say, I've spent more than a few dollars, and multiple attempts to get the belts I need from Fred.. no luck. If you are a tech, and have had a long relationship with Fred, or place an order in the $100's of dollars, you might get your belts. IF you are a new customer, or only order 1 or 2 belt kits.. You will wait MORE than 3 months, and you will not get a response from Fred. This is a reality. (whatever the reason.) However, IF you file a paypal claim, HE WILL RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. Seriously, place an order.. email for a month, you will get no response at all. (Sometimes you get an electronic tracking number, that never ships) Communicate through a paypal dispute, and you will finaly get your response.) HOWEVER, you will than piss off Fred, who will "ban" you from ordering belts. Although, since he won't send you the belt in the first place, what are you losing... Fred has FANTASTIC belts, but if YOU CAN'T actually GET ONE, what good are they?!? I ask Perry, and the others defending Marrs. When was the last time YOU got a belt, from Fred, and how many Belts have you ordered in the last 8 months?

Hopefully Mars will work out the issues soon. This is one of those ever so rare businesses who exist due to appreciation of a dead technology. Capitalistic profiteering was certainly not the motivation here. What would really be sweet is the introduction of drop in replacement transports. Fully renewed, new motors, heads, pinch rollers, etc. Even fully aligned. I'm truly impressed with the number of Naks being brought back to life worldwide. Never thought I would see such interest.

I did get the belt but it took 6 weeks. During that time, Fred closed and reopened the store multiple times. At one point he said he was caught up with February orders and I still didn't have my January order. I had sent several emails that he did not respond to and finally sent one titled, "Where is my JANUARY order????" or something like that. He did respond, with apologies, and sent a tracking number. But it was about 4 days after receiving the tracking number that he actually mailed it. Bear in mind that with online postage purchases you can pay for the postage and receive a tracking number long before the item is actually mailed. Some sellers on ebay now use this as an excuse and blame the delay on the post office but I suspect most of them just pay/print the postage days or weeks before they ever mail the item. But the kit did arrive, it was the right one and it worked flawlessly. I don't buy a lot a belt kits but have purchased about 5 kits (Nak and Sony Walkman) from Fred in the past -- so I am basically a "nobody" when it comes to Fred's belt business. This is the first time I had any issues. Personally, I am glad he is there even if his sevice isn't stellar. Measuring an old, stretched belt to determine the proper dimensions sounds like an exercise in error and frustration -- it's so much easier to order a kit by model. Let's all hope that Fred's situation improves and his life/business get back on track.

There are a few people defending Marrs. I've noticed that most of them are "techs", ie: they order more than 3 sets of belts in a year. (Or, they've have not ordered belts in a very long time) I've ordered belts from Marrs in the past. and have gotten great results. Until last fall.... I've mentioned my experience a few times, no need to go into it. Let's just say, I've spent more than a few dollars, and multiple attempts to get the belts I need from Fred.. no luck. If you are a tech, and have had a long relationship with Fred, or place an order in the $100's of dollars, you might get your belts. IF you are a new customer, or only order 1 or 2 belt kits.. You will wait MORE than 3 months, and you will not get a response from Fred. This is a reality. (whatever the reason.) However, IF you file a paypal claim, HE WILL RESPOND IMMEDIATELY.

HOWEVER, you will than piss off Fred, who will "ban" you from ordering belts. Although, since he won't send you the belt in the first place, what are you losing... Fred has FANTASTIC belts, but if YOU CAN'T actually GET ONE, what good are they?!? I ask Perry, and the others defending Marrs.

It seems to me that 90% of the respondents to this discussion have expectations of all business being corporate-instant-hi tech. I welcome the opportunity to deal with someone real. Some of us have the luxury of not working in the corporate world, and get to be 'be real'. Concentrating on family, relationships. Putting a sign on the door that says "sorry, I'll be back later". They accept that some folks won't like this and will get their noses out of joint. They expect a little flexibility as part of being outside of the corporate venn diagram. These small-business owners probably don't expect meta-discussion to swarm those mailing lists of the very folk that form part of their customer base. Yes, PART; internet mailing lists and forums are not the sum total of a small business customer base! Put yourself in Fred's shoes; if you were reading all this NOISE you'd probably be wondering if the small business you spend time running, is worth it. Please, desist.

I have ordered about 3 kits from Marrs, different orders in the past but not in the last 8 months. I am from India and 2 of my orders came in about a month after the order, which is normal for international post to India. Once it got delayed by about 2 weeks and I sent him a mail. He responded immediately with an apology and sent another set free of cost via expedited shipping. I got the second set in 5 days and the first one he sent also came after 2 more days. I informed him about this and intended to return one kit but he insisted that I keep both as a token of compensation. Mr. Fred is an honest gentleman who takes pride in what he does. We all know about life, bad things do happen once in a while and may be he is going through such a time now. We are all a part of this community brought together by Nak and we all know how many decks came back to life because of the work Fred has done. Whether all of us agree or not he is a part of this big family. My opinion is that we should not lose faith in him and be a little gentle with our words. I have developed products and please trust me, if he closes his business down, it is not going to be easy for anyone to etup a similar service and maintain it.

You are right. Everybody has the right to control their destiny. Fred's service has been highly appreciated by others. That's why I decided to order from him at the beginning of January. I paid $174,35 on 4th. January. I expected longer delivery times, respected Fred's right not to work as a workhorse, I respected he was overflowed by far too much orders. On beginning of the March I sent him a message via tapeheads as he didn't respond to email. Fred posted this message on tapeheads: *Hello Ivan, Thank you for your Purchase ! I am Very sorry about the long Delay in mailing. Your order and several others, were misfiled in a Old eBay Folder ? Your complete order below, will mail Tomorrow Priority. Label # LK177227627US Again, very sorry about the Delay. Thanks again for your Business ! Fred M. PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE: tapeheads at marrscom.com * After a couple of days when there was still info: "Electronic shipping info received" on the USPS web I PMed Fred on tapeheads and got this message: *3-18-14 LK177227627US Hello Ivan, I will look into this today and get back with you. I Do know it was mailed as Promised ? Fred M. *It's been another month since than...* *When nothing happened I contacted USPS at the beginning of April and got an information no parcel was picked up or received under this number. I hasn't been able to get in touch with Fred since than. He hasn't been responding to emails, PMs. There is no way to get in touch with Fred a agree on solution. I insist on my order, I'm able to wait even longer but I would need some info from him at least. What shall I do? Could anybody give me a clue? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, it included an issue I had in response to a few belts from a previous order that I got that were wildly out of spec. Fred acknowledged the problem, took back the belts, and replaced them plus one for my trouble. And I did wait about 4 weeks. I agree, as does Fred, that 3+ months is unacceptable and he has apologized for it and is doing the best he can. Stuff happens and things get in the way. Usually the issue is he can't tell from the complaining email exactly who or what the order is about. And he tries to get to it later then later becomes still later etc etc. He acknowledges he lost over a hundred orders in a filed in the wrong place on his computer issue. All I say is rather than attack, please keep trying to work with the man. He knows he's got problems to fix but each problem is more time consuming than new simple orders. Also maybe not in this case, but twice in the last year, out if about 10 Priority click and ship USPS fixed rate packages that I personally dropped off at the post office, they never showed up on tracking and one never ever made it so I ate the sale and the item. The other showed up 3 months later, never tracked once. So may also be our crappy USPS.

Isn't this the exact same scenario we went through some time ago with Stephen Sank? Steve was an excellent tech that used to go out of his way to help hobbyists with their beloved Naks, often with no remuneration for his time and trouble. Fred was the same -- he used to provide excellent service and high quality merchandise (at last, in my personal experience). It seems both gentlemen fell on hard times and wound up screwing customers, in the process destroying their own reputations. I suspect Fred won't come out of his situation any better than Steve did. I am sorry for customers that paid and never received their order -- I know exactly how this feels -- but isn't it time to forget (and maybe even forgive)?

Led by a reissue of The Stone Roses' debut album, vinyl sales grew by more than 62% compared to 2013, with 12-inch single sales growing by 15.4% alone. However, 7-inch vinyl sales fell by 28%, partly because fewer records were released in the format. The figures are in keeping with the US, where week-on-week sales grew by 91%. Nielsen Entertainment called it "the most successful Record Store Day ever for vinyl", with LP sales up 58% over the same week last year. Record Store Day was created in the US in 2007. Now in its seventh year, it champions independently-owned record stores in the UK and US, and celebrates vinyl recordings. In the UK, the Stone Roses' eponymous album was the biggest-selling vinyl album of the week, in a chart populated with classic bands such as the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Ramones - both of whom also featured in the US chart. "The vinyl format, whilst still popular with baby-boomers that grew up with it and nurtured in recent years by events such as Record Store Day, increasingly also appeals to an engaged audience of younger artists and consumers alike, who appreciate its iconic heritage as part of Rock and Pop culture," said Gennaro Castaldo, spokesman for the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). "LP sales doubled in volume last year to 780,000 units - the highest annual total in over 15 years, and with sales up again this year, we're close to seeing the greatest demand for vinyl recordings in nearly two decades." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

References: Message-ID: Hi Someone posted a message in plain text and with a copy in HTML and the mailing list software removed the unnessecary part. There is absolutely no reason to use HTML for posting messages. HTML takes up a lot more space on the server over plain text, and when transmitting it takes longer to exchange with another mail server. HTML is not the only thing that gets stripped or scrubbed, any added images for background are also taken away. Some servers take away anything other than plain text, so out goes the VCF info file and any formatting done at the sender or any attachments a poster would want others to have. There are times when attaching something is good, but it is rare and in the case of mailing lists there is usually a file repository which can be used to place the files so not everyone gets the attachment, but only those who want it can go and get it. What gets removed when posting to such servers depends on how a poster set up his mailing software. Some have defaults that are really annoying, but the poster may be unaware of how it works and as long as they are not bothered by it themselves they will keep everything the way it is. Personally, I like to think most people would not needlessly post unnessecary stuff, but some people may not be able to change the way their software works. Either because they cannot be bothered or will not simply Google how to. -Mikkel ----- Original meddelelse ----- > Fra: Perry Esposito > Til: naktalk at naks.com > Dato: Tor, 24. apr 2014 13:32 > Emne: [naktalk] Does anyone else get this error ? > > > On a bunch of Naktalk posts it just says "an HTML attachment has > been scrubbed" and there is no content?

Does anyone have spares and information on how to refit the small horseshoe shaped washer and square plastic piece that came out when I removed the faceplate? Alternatively, is there a way to fit the broken switches, which still slip onto the spindles, but may not function effectively and be subject to further damage? Any assistance would be appreciated.

This is not a problem, but a design choice. All Nak decks that used DD (Direct Drive) Sankyo transports (BX-100, CR-5 and CR7, etc.) were designed to have the capstan motor run continuously. This assures the motor is always stable at operating temperature and ready to run at accurate speed at any time. Of course, the down side is the increased wear when the deck is left powered for long periods. (the obvious solution is to turn it off when not in  actual use). So, it's a trade off issue. Nak engineers chose to run the capstan motors continuously only on higher end decks. -- Ron On Wednesday, April 23, 2014 5:25 AM, ebetom wrote: Hi, i think the problem with These newer decks is the fact that the Motor is running all the Time as soon it is switched on, even with no funktion.

So we are within shouting distance of where Iselle is expected to make landfall. I've been watching the storm closely and somewhat expect it to veer to a slightly more northerly route along the northeastern Hamakua Coast. But the pros say no such luck. Time will tell. If it does veer slightly more to the north it should weaken faster due to the wind shear from the ever-present Hamakua winds. My fingers are crossed that my wishful thinking comes to pass. _____ From: Naktalk [mailto:naktalk-bounces at lists.naks.com] On Behalf Of Victor Gabrenas Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2014 8:23 AM To: Talk about Nakamichi Cassette Decks Subject: Re: [naktalk] quiet Cheryl, where in Hawaii are you.

Not so good 700zxe wise. I have done a total service on a 700zxe, total recap, rebuild, point to point connector check, (the list of problems it had when I got it are a mile long) and have everything working wonderfully EXCEPT the Level and Bias portion of the autocal. I have the azimuth portion working ok now, though it is not as precise as all my ZX decks. What I really need is to borrow an autocal board extender and or a known good autocal board. I can measure that the states of most of the logic chips are changing when Autocal initiates, but no way to measure the change to the inputs or outputs of opamps 101/201 & it never gets past the first iteration and no data points change at the inputs to ICs 707 and 708. I suspect 706 as I only see a brief flash of the output on pin 1. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and Thanks, Wouter! Be safe Cheryl.

So I spent the week cycling the daytime solar through the refer, the freezer, and the water pump. We lost a few gallons of milk, a quart of half and half and some lettuce but I don't think we lost anything from the freezer. We cooked on the barbecue and manually poured hot water through the coffee maker every morning. I'm getting a bit old for these adventures but we did fine. Our biggest hazzard was trying not to trip over any of the many extension cords running to the solar outlets. We did lose a bunch of fruit trees and some Ohia trees but suffered no structural damage. But I will say that the storm itself was pretty scary. The winds were pretty awful and you could hear trees cracking and falling. A rain forest is not where you want to be during a hurricane or major tropical storm. At our house, the mac nuts were blown off the trees and many of them hit the house from the trees that are close. Every mac nut that hit the house sounded like a small bomb going off. I was soooooooo glad when the storm finally passed. The next morning there were so many trees down around Leilani Estates that it was unreal. The absolute silence was eerie. Everyone around here was kind of in a state of shock. There were so many trees down that you couldn't even walk more than a lot or two before the road was blocked. The wires were down in many places on just our little 1/2 mile portion of Nohea Street and there were many places where they weren't down but had trees laying across them. The sound of chain saws from down to dusk has permeated the air for a full week. I must say the residents did a great job of cleaning up all the roads of the smaller trees. Of course, the big guys had to come in with the heavy equipment to remove the huge Albezias that were down everywhere. There are areas of forest that will not recover in our lifetimes -- it was pretty devastating. The coastal areas near us -- Pohoiki in particular -- were pretty much destroyed. The suff actually pushed huge boulders into houses and knocked them off their foundations. Early reports said there were no structural damages from the storm--what total BS. With the roads being impassable and residents without electricity, phones and internet it wasn't possible to report problems. Cell phone coverage is very spotty here. Since we lost power 2 hours into the storm, I fired up my crappy transistor radio to get updates. We were already getting a civil defense warning that there was an uncontrolled release of deadly hydrogen sulfide from the geothermal plant (1 mile from here) and to evacuate if possible. Of course, there were already so many trees down at that point that many roads were nearly impassable. So 2 hours into the storm we are not only "sheltering in place" from the storm but also sheltering in place from the geothermal plant which meant closing up homes as tightly as possible. Before we lost our land lines (3 hours into the storm), I conferenced with some other residents to try and decide whether to try and evacuate or hunker down and hope for the best. We decided that conditions outside were so horrible with all the trees coming down that we should just stay put. We also reasoned that the winds were so bad that they would likely dissipate most of the toxic gas. Those assholes actually had a meeting before the storm and decided to keep the geothermal plant running during a potential hurricane. Once the storm hit the plant, it immediately took out its power lines via downed Albezia giants. Losing the power lines removed the electrical load from the plant and the generators spun out of control. The people who made the decision to keep the plant running in the storm should be shot -- it is surrounded by giant Albezia trees. It should have been shut down several hours prior to anticipated landfall. The local thugs took the opportunity to steal whatever wasn't guarded and continued to cause mischief such as street racing. There were 3 or 4 burglaries right near our house in the days following the storm. On the good side, all the decent people joined together to clear our roads and bring in ice, water, and food. Even residents who haven't been on speaking terms came forward to help each other. It's been a pretty amazing show by the good people of Puna.

I've had both units from new I bought them from Unilet of New Malden Surrey UK in 1982.

The units have both been serviced last month have the original packaging and user manuals and even a service manual for the 581. These are exceptional machines with the 581 having the alloy transport unlike the later machines.
I no longer have use for them and would rather not split the units. I have an array of leads to go with them. They have been used in a Linn / Naim system.
Will consider offers that are sensible and shipping at your cost.

Regards,

Martin Dawson

I'm new to the forum. I just acquired a Nakamichi 1000 is great condition it seems like all functions working. 2 questions at this point: 1) *VU meters*: When the power is off both meters each channel are set at 'off'. When I turn on power the the left meter will sit at -40db, but the right channel will sit at -35 db. What is causing this ? Some background: When I first got my 1000 I turned it on and saw both meters sitting a -20db with power on. I took out the 6 re-moveable circuit boards. ie: line amp, DNL, Record Dolby, Playback Dolby, Playback amp, Record amp. I sprayed the contacts with Pro-Gold, and tighten the connector pins. This got the meters to set to the settings I described above, down form the -20db. I also notice if I moved the DNL board I would get noise and sporadic meter readings; I removed the board again and looked closely and saw a cold solder joint near the top of the board some resistors moving around. I re soldered now no sporadic meter movements.I was hoping this would be the cause of the VU meters not totally resetting to infinity. It was not. Also: I noticed the plastic board holder had a slight warp and allowed the boards to move slightly. I made a new holder from a piece of aluminum, I fitted the new holder the boards now are held now with no movement. 2) *Equalization: * My 1000 records and plays back well. The tape alignment beacon and procedure works on both normal and chrome tape. But every recording I make has a slight brighter sound (high frequency tip up) than the original source. I am using both Maxell XL II, and Maxell UR tape. I think the pre-recorded tapes I have are slightly brighter as well; but not sure since I only have 2 and no real reference to compare to. So, how do you adjust the equalization on both record and playback ? Is this the reason for the brighter recordings ? I see pots on the tops of the plug in boards..Is it the record/playback AMP. Thanks everyone for reading thru this, I appreciate any/all help. Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I can not find a Service Manual that covers this early range. WHen I try to download the 700 SM from here, it just keeps saying "Waiting for www.naks.com" . Earliest I found elsewhere is starting at 5511, and the motor governor PCB is totally different. Whenever the governor PCB is connected to the +12VDC, it drags the whole bus down to under 6VDC and eventually kills a transistor in the power supply. Makes it hard to trouble shoot the other problems it has, which is so many, it may not be fixable! I've disconnected that power wire for now, but I had to peel apart the touch button assembly as 4 of the buttons were always "ON", due to corrosion around the traces. Oddly, the resistance of the traces on the control panel touch buttons is very high. Pressing a button and measuring the resistance att he connector when removed, it goes from "open" to anywhere from 6 to 20Megohm as "closed"!! Since this is the first one I've worked on, does anyone know if this is normal? When I apply the 12VDC with the governor board disconnected relay 602 (FF) immediately picks up, and both the FF and REW lights momentarily flash, even with the pushbuttons disconnected. I'm sure I need to recap the unit, and already did the powers upply and govenor boards (try the easy stuff first) will start next with the logic board where the relays are located. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am working on a RX505 this time and the new belt placed inside this machine does not do the job. The tape is skewing. I did the complete calibration job with all the gauges , uses the right oil inside the capstan bearings, replaced the rollers and still the tape is skewing. The belts i am using gives me good results on the earlier versions of the classic transport so far. Reading the service manual the belts for the 480 series and the rx505 deck are identical. The only way to get rid of the tape skewing is mounting a belt with a little smaller overall diameter. The belts are incredible important in the Nakamichi transports much much more then i ever realise. I found it strange that this is the second RX505 on my bench with these problems .

What I did was replacing the original capstan/flywheel assy which had the dull flat surface on the capstan, with a capstan set from an old scrapped 480. That trick did work fine for me and after replacment I had no problems with tape travelling sideways over the head.

I am working on a RX505 this time and the new belt placed inside this machine does not do the job. The tape is skewing. I did the complete calibration job with all the gauges , uses the right oil inside the capstan bearings, replaced the rollers and still the tape is skewing. The belts i am using gives me good results on the earlier versions of the classic transport so far. Reading the service manual the belts for the 480 series and the rx505 deck are identical. The only way to get rid of the tape skewing is mounting a belt with a little smaller overall diameter. The belts are incredible important in the Nakamichi transports much much more then i ever realise. I found it strange that this is the second RX505 on my bench with these problems . Today i ordered the belts from Fred. I will let you know how that will perform on this one.

The correct belt makes or breaks its performance and sadly this has opened up a whole can of worms in the past and likely again in the future. When I first joined Naktalk a few years ago, I went back read every single archived post, to learn everything that I could. There is a few month section, when Fred first started having belts made, where virtually all the posts are arguments about the 4096D belt size. You can find all the dimensions in that archive. I buy a fair amount of belts from Fred, for all kinds of decks, since the only other source for the correct Nak belts, ESL, appears to only sell certain belts, not the 4096D, and then, not to anyone that sells or repairs decks. This is a sound business decision, as they only have a limited supply for the repair of their own decks, which are a huge part of their business. I would do the exact same thing in their shoes. What I have found is that the most minor changes in belt thickness and cross section affect performance of W&F, speed differential beginning to end, bearing noise, etc, but not tape skew. I'm sure this is not new to you at all, and why you are asking about it now. If the skew is fixed by using a tighter belt, then the amount of thrust the flywheels are exerting against the thrust bearing, and the true shape and angle of the capstan emerging from the bearing, must be changing due to different side loadings. Changing to different flywheels or a polished interface will change that as well so it may fix the issue as a coincidental result, but worn bearings are usually the cause in this instance. Normally a tighter belt always gives much poorer performance until it is too loose to maintain a constant grip. Fred had a bad batch of 4096D2 belts where the cross sectional thickness varied and gave poor performance (W&F greater than 0.15%) The last batch I got from him was better, but still too thick, though far thinner and closer dimensionally, than any generic source, which all agree are useless. There is a constant struggle to have the belts made as thin as the standard transport often requires. His are the closest readily available. Fred also sells a very slightly longer belt, the number of which escapes me, for an Aiwa transport, that often works better. What I have found, and I'm sure other will chime in, after working on many different versions of the standard transport on any different models, is that some apparently extremely similar transports are simply far more sensitive to the capstan belt than others. It is frustrating, annoying, and often disheartening, and as has been suggested, sometimes swapping parts helps the issue, other times makes it worse. This problem only seems to truly manifest itself in the all belt drive dual capstan standard transport versions. Which of course covers most of everyone's favorite decks.

It is certainly not my intention to do the belt discussion over again. I am very happy that Fred makes this belts that is for sure. it is difficult for me to understand why some classic transports do have other behavior then other classic transport. As you mentioned sometimes there are transports who do not work as expected. Mounting a smaller belt is not an option for me but it describes the behaviour of my RX505 transport. Yesterday i get a intresting suggestion from our former repairman working in the past at the distributor from Nakamichi here in the Netherlands. He confirm that some transports are more sensitive for a good tape transport but not only because of the belt. I will try his suggestion and let you know the results.

Prior to having the custom Nakamichi Capstans manufactured, approximately 2 years of research took place on the I.C.(Inside Circumference) of capstans for All Nakamichi Models. The sizes chosen were made using N.O.S. Nakamichi Capstan Belts AND N.O.S., Capstans removed from working and non-working machines. All Nakamichi Capstan belts are still being produced using the Original sizes, and the *SAME* belt compounds. Repeat, compounds have *NOT* changed. Compound and Thickness have the most effect on flexibility. Skewing seems to be common problem on the ZX-9 OCO-80334A .235 X .018 (original N.O.S.) This Problem can be resolved by using a "narrow" belt with other dimensions remaining 'very close' to the 80334-D3. The narrow belt is referred to as the (D-3*n*), but is not referenced on my website. The (D-3*n*) is only used, when the customer has a skewing problem with the regular (D3). ( I had some 8096-D2 produced here in the *USA* that were total junk and trashed ). Belt manufacturers no longer want to produce belts thinner than .020 . This prevent inconstant thickness around the circumference of the Belt. This was the problem with my defective D2's replaced by Japan. *FACT * "Some" repair centers Use And *Ship* the 82702-D1, in place of the 8096-D2 for the 480, 680, LX, RX, ZXE and ZXL which will *NOT* Work for LONG. (Too large in I.C. ) *CURRENT STATUS* Marrs has recovered from the D2 order backlog, has *added* personnel and has shipped *Within* 4 Business Days at 100% order fill, on All Brands for the past 60 Days ! ********************************************** 7,061 Kits Made and Shipped since March 2014 *********************************************** 26,843** BELTS IN STOCK * *Things to remember about Marrs* Straight Talk with no *B.S.* Any *Factory* Belt that fails to meet Nakamichi wow/flutter specifications on YOUR MACHINE will be replaced at NO CHARGE excluding postage *IF,* your transport has been fully serviced, _ no questions ask.

I have them done occasionally by Terry for Naks with shot rollers and all the time for my Revox and Tandberg pressure rollers which all must be rerubbered to get any performance. He charges $70usd the pair+ $5 return shipping in the US. He does, however, require money orders, so I don't know if someone can deal with him from overseas, due to that. In a pinch you could send your good cores to me, and I would have them rebuilt and sent back to you. He can not rerubber nylon/plastic hub rollers.

Prior to having the custom Nakamichi Capstans manufactured, approximately 2 years of research took place on the I.C.(Inside Circumference) of capstans for All Nakamichi Models. The sizes chosen were made using N.O.S. Nakamichi Capstan Belts AND N.O.S., Capstans removed from working and non-working machines. All Nakamichi Capstan belts are still being produced using the Original sizes, and the *SAME* belt compounds. Repeat, compounds have *NOT* changed. Compound and Thickness have the most effect on flexibility. Skewing seems to be common problem on the ZX-9 OCO-80334A .235 X .018 (original N.O.S.) This Problem can be resolved by using a "narrow" belt with other dimensions remaining 'very close' to the 80334-D3. The narrow belt is referred to as the (D-3*n*), but is not referenced on my website. The (D-3*n*) is only used, when the customer has a skewing problem with the regular (D3). ( I had some 8096-D2 produced here in the *USA* that were total junk and trashed ). Belt manufacturers no longer want to produce belts thinner than .020 . This prevent inconstant thickness around the circumference of the Belt. This was the problem with my defective D2's replaced by Japan. *FACT * "Some" repair centers Use And *Ship* the 82702-D1, in place of the 8096-D2 for the 480, 680, LX, RX, ZXE and ZXL which will *NOT* Work for LONG. (Too large in I.C. ) *CURRENT STATUS* Marrs has recovered from the D2 order backlog, has *added* personnel and has shipped *Within* 4 Business Days at 100% order fill, on All Brands for the past 60 Days ! **********************************************                                7,061 Kits Made and Shipped since March 2014 ***********************************************                                      26,843** BELTS IN STOCK * *Things to remember about Marrs* Straight Talk with no *B.S.* Any *Factory* Belt that fails to meet Nakamichi wow/flutter specifications on YOUR MACHINE will be replaced at NO CHARGE excluding postage *IF,* your transport has been fully serviced, _ no questions ask.

I would suspect the Dolby circuit (specifically, the Dolby C section). While it could be a bad cap, it could also be a hairline crack in the PCB in that area. The latter can sometimes be diagnosed by light tapping on the suspect PCB area and/or judicious application of a freezing spray.

It sounded as you describe but was also very weak in volume. When Dolby was OFF it worked fine. The 581 is pretty easy (no Dolby C and no double Dolby). It turned out to be one of the caps in the Dolby circuit -- but it was NOT an orange cap. If memory serves me correctly it some type of film cap and was either green or brown. Get out the schematic and follow the circuits from the Dolby switch. See where the circuits go for Dolby B and Dolby OFF compared to where the circuit goes for Dolby C. The 581 was simple and the difference between Dolby ON and Dolby OFF was minimal. With Dolby ON there were only 1 or 2 caps that got switched into the circuit as I recall. That made it pretty easy to fix.

You can try to locate all sections of the Dolby selector switch in the schematic, then trace which components are switched in when Dolby C position is selected.

The problem is that I can't identify the caps in the SM that go with the Dolby C. As I've mentioned the Dolby B works perfectly. The manual indicates a number of caps, some pp some electrolytic, some Mylar but all under the Dolby NR in general. There must be at least 50 all together for B and C, left and right. I got lost in the schematic while trying to follow the circuit from the switch. There are a no of big blue filter caps in the NR and as there are crackles in one channel while the other has just a plain hum some of them maybe responsible. I am not sure if I have the know-how to figure it out though. I don't often use the Dolby C for recording but this the only deck I have that has it so it's a pity.

See where the circuits go for Dolby B and Dolby OFF compared to where the circuit goes for Dolby C. The 581 was simple and the difference between Dolby ON and Dolby OFF was minimal. With Dolby ON there were only 1 or 2 caps that got switched into the circuit as I recall.

Lately, however, while recording with the Dolby C it has developed some issues. The left channel is full of crackling noise and a hum. It still erases though. The right channel seems OK. In Dolby B or without NR the deck erases and records normally on all types of tapes. The two 472 caps in the bias oscillator have been replaced with the same value, same tolerance, same voltage high quality caps. No change.

I did change the two in the bias oscillator as I had some high quality, 2% tolerance Wima caps. Made absolutely no difference. The original orange caps worked just fine. A clear example of ain't broke don't fix it. My 582 still has them and it works fine too. In fact it erases just as well as the eraser I got from Radio Shack a few years ago. And it records great too.

The signal passes thru both no matter what NR is selected. When NR is off D101 and D104 are biased on thus turning off the noise shaping of both dolby chips. Also Q106, Q107 and Q108 are turned on thus setting the noise shaping of IC101 to the dolby b mode but since D101 is biased on the chip remains in the noise shaping off mode. When the dolby switch is set to On/B mode the bias on D101 is removed thus turning the noise shaping on for IC101 which is still set to B mode cause Q106, 107 and 108 are still on. Setting the dolby c on turns off Q106, 107 and Q108 setting the noise shaping of IC101 to c mode, also the bias on D104 is removed turning on the noise shaping of IC102. At the sametime Q105, 704 and 111 are turned on. This is where I think your problem is. If you look at Q704 when it is turned on it is putting a filter made up of C119, R715 and L701 in circuit but only when the unit is in record mode via SW301, the play/record switch. C119 is a PP cap, they go bad a lot. I would replace that cap. If you don't have one on hand just remove it and see if your noise goes away. In a early email I stated to check C137, don't bother that cap is used in both record and play, I missed that the first time I look over the schematic. I hope that helps you understand what is happening in the dolby circuit.

The signal passes thru both no matter what NR is selected. When NR is off D101 and D104 are biased on thus turning off the noise shaping of both dolby chips. Also Q106, Q107 and Q108 are turned on thus setting the noise shaping of IC101 to the dolby b mode but since D101 is biased on the chip remains in the noise shaping off mode. When the dolby switch is set to On/B mode the bias on D101 is removed thus turning the noise shaping on for IC101 which is still set to B mode cause Q106, 107 and 108 are still on. Setting the dolby c on turns off Q106, 107 and Q108 setting the noise shaping of IC101 to c mode, also the bias on D104 is removed turning on the noise shaping of IC102. At the sametime Q105, 704 and 111 are turned on. This is where I think your problem is. If you look at Q704 when it is turned on it is putting a filter made up of C119, R715 and L701 in circuit but only when the unit is in record mode via SW301, the play/record switch. C119 is a PP cap, they go bad a lot. I would replace that cap. If you don’t have one on hand just remove it and see if your noise goes away. In a early email I stated to check C137, don’t bother that cap is used in both record and play, I missed that the first time I look over the schematic. I hope that helps you understand what is happening in the dolby circuit.

In Dolby C however it erases but records a lot of crackles and a hum on the left channel while there is a slight hum in the right channel as well but no crackles.

Does the unit playback ok in all modes, NR off, b on or c on. The unit records fine with the NR off or b on correct? With the unit in record mode do both sides sound ok then when you play the recorded tape back the one side is not working. If you follow the schematic IC102 is used for dolby b and IC101 for dolby c, for the left channel, but the signal goes thru both no matter what NR is selected. If you can record at all the bias is fine and IC102 is good.

It sounded as you describe but was also very weak in volume. When Dolby was OFF it worked fine. The 581 is pretty easy (no Dolby C and no double Dolby). It turned out to be one of the caps in the Dolby circuit -- but it was NOT an orange cap. If memory serves me correctly it some type of film cap and was either green or brown. Get out the schematic and follow the circuits from the Dolby switch. See where the circuits go for Dolby B and Dolby OFF compared to where the circuit goes for Dolby C. The 581 was simple and the difference between Dolby ON and Dolby OFF was minimal. With Dolby ON there were only 1 or 2 caps that got switched into the circuit as I recall. That made it pretty easy to fix.

I would suspect the Dolby circuit (specifically, the Dolby C section). While it could be a bad cap, it could also be a hairline crack in the PCB in that area. The latter can sometimes be diagnosed by light tapping on the suspect PCB area and/or judicious application of a freezing spray.

Q704 will be fine with C119 removed. Here is the signal flow thru the dolby chips. If you look at the uA7300 chips you will see the block diagram of what is inside of the chip. To simplify my description I am going to label the op amps in the chips as follows: Op amp between pins 9, 10 and 11 will be number 1. Op amp whose input is pin 12 will be number 2. Op amp whose output is pin 14 will be number 3, this op amp is feed from op amp number 2. Op amp whose output is pin 16 will be number 4, this op amp is feed from op amp number 3. The other 2 op amps in the chip we don't have to worry about, they are used in the noise shaping feedback section. For the sake of this description I am going to leave them out. Ok for playback mode here we go: Note: The schematic shows the Play/Record switch, SW301, in the record position. The signal from the play head enters op amp number 1 of IC102. It leaves op amp 1 and goes to op amp 2 of IC102. Op amp 2 feeds op amp 3 of IC102, the signal then leaves op amp 3 via pin 14, goes thru C140 goes to C115 and enters op amp number 1 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 1 and goes to op amp number 2 of IC101 via R125. It then leaves op amp 2 and enters op amp 3 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 3 of IC101 via pin 14, thru C120 then to the outputs via Switch 301. Yes op amp number 4 is not used during playback. For record: The signal from the line input enters op amp 1 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 1 and enters op amp 2 of IC101 via R125, at the same time the signal leaving op amp 1 is sent to the line out via R126 and SW301. The signal leaves op amp 2 of IC101 and enters op amp 3 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 3 and enters op amp 4 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 4 of IC101 via C133 and goes to op amp 2 of IC102. From there it enters op amp 3 of IC102 then out of op amp 3 and into op amp 4 of IC102. The signal then leaves op amp 4 via pin 16 on its way to the eq, bias and record head.

I got lost in the schematic while trying to follow the circuit from the switch. There are a no of big blue filter caps in the NR and as there are crackles in one channel while the other has just a plain hum some of them maybe responsible. I am not sure if I have the know-how to figure it out though. I don't often use the Dolby C for recording but this the only deck I have that has it so it's a pity. Fortunately the playback is OK and the B has not been affected so far.

It sounded as you describe but was also very weak in volume. When Dolby was OFF it worked fine. The 581 is pretty easy (no Dolby C and no double Dolby). It turned out to be one of the caps in the Dolby circuit -- but it was NOT an orange cap. If memory serves me correctly it some type of film cap and was either green or brown. Get out the schematic and follow the circuits from the Dolby switch. See where the circuits go for Dolby B and Dolby OFF compared to where the circuit goes for Dolby C. The 581 was simple and the difference between Dolby ON and Dolby OFF was minimal. With Dolby ON there were only 1 or 2 caps that got switched into the circuit as I recall. That made it pretty easy to fix. Aloha and good luck, Cheryl ________________________________ From: naktalk-bounces at naks.com [mailto:naktalk-bounces at naks.com] On Behalf Of Ron Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 2:27 PM To: Talk about Nakamichi Cassette Decks Subject: Re: [naktalk] 481Z Peter, it is unlikely the problem is cased by the oscillator.

Q704 will be fine with C119 removed. Here is the signal flow thru the dolby chips. If you look at the uA7300 chips you will see the block diagram of what is inside of the chip. To simplify my description I am going to label the op amps in the chips as follows: Op amp between pins 9, 10 and 11 will be number 1. Op amp whose input is pin 12 will be number 2. Op amp whose output is pin 14 will be number 3, this op amp is feed from op amp number 2. Op amp whose output is pin 16 will be number 4, this op amp is feed from op amp number 3. The other 2 op amps in the chip we don’t have to worry about, they are used in the noise shaping feedback section. For the sake of this description I am going to leave them out. Ok for playback mode here we go: Note: The schematic shows the Play/Record switch, SW301, in the record position. The signal from the play head enters op amp number 1 of IC102. It leaves op amp 1 and goes to op amp 2 of IC102. Op amp 2 feeds op amp 3 of IC102, the signal then leaves op amp 3 via pin 14, goes thru C140 goes to C115 and enters op amp number 1 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 1 and goes to op amp number 2 of IC101 via R125. It then leaves op amp 2 and enters op amp 3 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 3 of IC101 via pin 14, thru C120 then to the outputs via Switch 301. Yes op amp number 4 is not used during playback. For record: The signal from the line input enters op amp 1 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 1 and enters op amp 2 of IC101 via R125, at the same time the signal leaving op amp 1 is sent to the line out via R126 and SW301. The signal leaves op amp 2 of IC101 and enters op amp 3 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 3 and enters op amp 4 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 4 of IC101 via C133 and goes to op amp 2 of IC102. From there it enters op amp 3 of IC102 then out of op amp 3 and into op amp 4 of IC102. The signal then leaves op amp 4 via pin 16 on its way to the eq, bias and record head.

The signal passes thru both no matter what NR is selected. When NR is off D101 and D104 are biased on thus turning off the noise shaping of both dolby chips. Also Q106, Q107 and Q108 are turned on thus setting the noise shaping of IC101 to the dolby b mode but since D101 is biased on the chip remains in the noise shaping off mode. When the dolby switch is set to On/B mode the bias on D101 is removed thus turning the noise shaping on for IC101 which is still set to B mode cause Q106, 107 and 108 are still on. Setting the dolby c on turns off Q106, 107 and Q108 setting the noise shaping of IC101 to c mode, also the bias on D104 is removed turning on the noise shaping of IC102. At the sametime Q105, 704 and 111 are turned on. This is where I think your problem is. If you look at Q704 when it is turned on it is putting a filter made up of C119, R715 and L701 in circuit but only when the unit is in record mode via SW301, the play/record switch. C119 is a PP cap, they go bad a lot. I would replace that cap. If you don’t have one on hand just remove it and see if your noise goes away. In a early email I stated to check C137, don’t bother that cap is used in both record and play, I missed that the first time I look over the schematic. I hope that helps you understand what is happening in the dolby circuit.

I have established that the 15VAC is being rectified to 12VDC. Fairly obvious as the capstan motor & control motor works fine! When I press play, the transport moves to the play position and the play lamp illuminates but as the right hand hub is stationary, the deck cuts out. If I spin the hub manually after pressing play, it stays engaged until I stop spinning the hub - therefore the auto shut off is working ok.A fried resistor R590 probably happened due to shorting of the counter lamp wires - a new fuse resistor was fitted and the lamp new lamp works fine now as does the new cassette well lamp and all the transport lamps. I suspect when this happened something else was damaged but I cant find it. So far I have verified the following parts as either being in specification or have been replaced with new:Q407 / Q413 / Q424 / Q425 / Q426 / Q427 / Q447R452 / R453 / R467 / R483 / R484 / R485 / R495 / R499 / R510 / R511 / R512 / R517C412 / C413 / C417 / C419 / C457IC405Reel MotorMy logic was to work from the reel motor back towards the play button and check everything in between with the deck switched off and parts removed to check then refitting them, but It's difficult to identify the pathway.I feel the next thing to do is establish where the +ve supply to the reel motor should start from - probably CN-7 Pin 2 then follow it to the reel motor to try to find the defective part - this with the deck turned on and measure voltage when repeatedly pressing play.I know it's a big ask, but could anyone help to identify the parts sequence where to measure?The deck has very delicate board traces and removing parts and refitting them needs great care not to pull away the trace leading to bad connections - a couple have had to be repaired already.Many thanks, ben -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've put in another 1800pF cap and the left channel is now good. No hum at all. The right channel has a hum though so I'll probably have to change C219 as well. Still in Dolby C only. As soon as I get new caps I'll change both including the C119 as the replacement cap is also an orange one and although it's working now it will probably fail again. By the way, in this deck on the board C119 and C219 are marked as C123 and C223 which is weird as those are electrolytic caps and are elsewhere. So C123 and C223 show twice which was confusing. I actually had to blow up that part of the schematics to make sure. Again, thanks a lot for your help Peter From: scott.h.garner at lmco.com To: naktalk at naks.com Subject: RE: EXTERNAL: RE: [naktalk] 481Z Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 19:05:15 +0000 Peter, You are correct, the 2’s are for the right channel and the 1’s are for the left. Q704 will be fine with C119 removed. Here is the signal flow thru the dolby chips. If you look at the uA7300 chips you will see the block diagram of what is inside of the chip. To simplify my description I am going to label the op amps in the chips as follows: Op amp between pins 9, 10 and 11 will be number 1. Op amp whose input is pin 12 will be number 2. Op amp whose output is pin 14 will be number 3, this op amp is feed from op amp number 2. Op amp whose output is pin 16 will be number 4, this op amp is feed from op amp number 3. The other 2 op amps in the chip we don’t have to worry about, they are used in the noise shaping feedback section. For the sake of this description I am going to leave them out. Ok for playback mode here we go: Note: The schematic shows the Play/Record switch, SW301, in the record position. The signal from the play head enters op amp number 1 of IC102. It leaves op amp 1 and goes to op amp 2 of IC102. Op amp 2 feeds op amp 3 of IC102, the signal then leaves op amp 3 via pin 14, goes thru C140 goes to C115 and enters op amp number 1 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 1 and goes to op amp number 2 of IC101 via R125. It then leaves op amp 2 and enters op amp 3 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 3 of IC101 via pin 14, thru C120 then to the outputs via Switch 301. Yes op amp number 4 is not used during playback. For record: The signal from the line input enters op amp 1 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 1 and enters op amp 2 of IC101 via R125, at the same time the signal leaving op amp 1 is sent to the line out via R126 and SW301. The signal leaves op amp 2 of IC101 and enters op amp 3 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 3 and enters op amp 4 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 4 of IC101 via C133 and goes to op amp 2 of IC102. From there it enters op amp 3 of IC102 then out of op amp 3 and into op amp 4 of IC102. The signal then leaves op amp 4 via pin 16 on its way to the eq, bias and record head.

This has been about the most precise description of the Dolby circuit I've ever seen. I would not have the knowledge for figuring it out just by looking at the SM. When you said C 137 I proceeded to remove two of them off a donor board. They are Mylars but have not put them into the 481Z. The C119 is an orange cap 1800p. I don't have a new one unfortunately but I have one or two from this donor board but that means it's not sure if they are good. I'll try to get hold of a couple of new ones. In the meantime I'll do what you suggest and remove the one in the 481Z. Question. By removing it then turning the deck back on I am not going to blow that Q704, by any chance? Or any other transistor? And the 1's like 119, 137 etc relate to the left channel while the 2's to the right, correct? Thanks again Peter From: scott.h.garner at lmco.com To: naktalk at naks.com Subject: RE: EXTERNAL: RE: [naktalk] 481Z Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:05:49 +0000 Peter, A slight correction to my first email, I meant IC101 is used for B and C, IC102 is for C only. The signal passes thru both no matter what NR is selected. When NR is off D101 and D104 are biased on thus turning off the noise shaping of both dolby chips. Also Q106, Q107 and Q108 are turned on thus setting the noise shaping of IC101 to the dolby b mode but since D101 is biased on the chip remains in the noise shaping off mode. When the dolby switch is set to On/B mode the bias on D101 is removed thus turning the noise shaping on for IC101 which is still set to B mode cause Q106, 107 and 108 are still on. Setting the dolby c on turns off Q106, 107 and Q108 setting the noise shaping of IC101 to c mode, also the bias on D104 is removed turning on the noise shaping of IC102. At the sametime Q105, 704 and 111 are turned on. This is where I think your problem is. If you look at Q704 when it is turned on it is putting a filter made up of C119, R715 and L701 in circuit but only when the unit is in record mode via SW301, the play/record switch. C119 is a PP cap, they go bad a lot. I would replace that cap. If you don’t have one on hand just remove it and see if your noise goes away. In a early email I stated to check C137, don’t bother that cap is used in both record and play, I missed that the first time I look over the schematic. I hope that helps you understand what is happening in the dolby circuit.

NR off, Dolby B on or Dolby C on. It erases and records perfectly on both channels with NR off or in Dolby B. In Dolby C however it erases but records a lot of crackles and a hum on the left channel while there is a slight hum in the right channel as well but no crackles. So the only problem I have is recording in Dolby C. That is the issue. Tapes that have been recorded earlier or tapes that have been recorded on other machines using Dolby C play back perfectly.

Does the unit playback ok in all modes, NR off, b on or c on. The unit records fine with the NR off or b on correct? With the unit in record mode do both sides sound ok then when you play the recorded tape back the one side is not working. If you follow the schematic IC102 is used for dolby b and IC101 for dolby c, for the left channel, but the signal goes thru both no matter what NR is selected. If you can record at all the bias is fine and IC102 is good.

The problem is that I can't identify the caps in the SM that go with the Dolby C. As I've mentioned the Dolby B works perfectly. The manual indicates a number of caps, some pp some electrolytic, some Mylar but all under the Dolby NR in general. There must be at least 50 all together for B and C, left and right. I got lost in the schematic while trying to follow the circuit from the switch. There are a no of big blue filter caps in the NR and as there are crackles in one channel while the other has just a plain hum some of them maybe responsible. I am not sure if I have the know-how to figure it out though. I don't often use the Dolby C for recording but this the only deck I have that has it so it's a pity. Fortunately the playback is OK and the B has not been affected so far.

It sounded as you describe but was also very weak in volume. When Dolby was OFF it worked fine. The 581 is pretty easy (no Dolby C and no double Dolby). It turned out to be one of the caps in the Dolby circuit -- but it was NOT an orange cap. If memory serves me correctly it some type of film cap and was either green or brown. Get out the schematic and follow the circuits from the Dolby switch. See where the circuits go for Dolby B and Dolby OFF compared to where the circuit goes for Dolby C. The 581 was simple and the difference between Dolby ON and Dolby OFF was minimal. With Dolby ON there were only 1 or 2 caps that got switched into the circuit as I recall. That made it pretty easy to fix. Aloha and good luck, Cheryl From: naktalk-bounces at naks.com [mailto:naktalk-bounces at naks.com] On Behalf Of Ron Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 2:27 PM To: Talk about Nakamichi Cassette Decks Subject: Re: [naktalk] 481Z Peter, it is unlikely the problem is cased by the oscillator. I would suspect the Dolby circuit (specifically, the Dolby C section). While it could be a bad cap, it could also be a hairline crack in the PCB in that area. The latter can sometimes be diagnosed by light tapping on the suspect PCB area and/or judicious application of a freezing spray.

With great sadness, but I really have to move on and I can't keep the all. Please stay tuned, as more will go along. This time, one of my Nakamichi 1000 ZXL is out for sale. This deck has been completely restored some time ago, as can be seen in the web site: http://naks.es/1000ZXL-2.html The deck is restored to perfection, the mech with all rubber parts NEW (including belts, rollers, guides, etc), all electronics with orange caps replaced, OP Amps upgraded, and completely calibrated, both mechanically and electronically. All front panel lights upgraded to LEDS, so they will last forever. The external wooden case has been also restored, and revarnished, so is near mint. Cosmetically the deck shows some sign of wear on the handles (see the pictures), I did not paint them as I thought it wasn't too bad, but it's an easy job (only 2 screws per handle) should you want to do it yourself. This is a 220V unit. If required it could be fitted with a new Toroidal Transformer so if would become Dual Voltage, and I could rewire it to work from 110V taps. This deck is going to ebay probably tonight, so it will end Sunday night. If anyone is interested, I would be able to cancel the auction. Accepting offers from 2500€ . I know it' a lot on money, but this one unit WILL LAST LONG, because all major common problems have already been addressed. Shipping worldwide, but will need a quote depending on were you live.

From the 3 listed (Dragon, CR7A, = ZX9), I=20 would think that ZX9 would be the most "reliable" as it has the least = electronic=20 complexities.
 
Taking it to the extreme, a 480 or = BX1 could=20 be even more "reliable".

In contrast, the CR-7 (16 years old when I bought it) has required a new IC (in the capstan motor electronics) and pinch rollers. It has requires mechanical service (cleaning, lubrication) three times since I got it about 4 years ago. Capstan shafts tend to freeze every couple of years or so. Mine has the gear modification, so, there are no problems with reels drive. However, going by sonic quality, the CR-7 is better than the 582 (not by much, but definitely, better).

I'd too go for the ZX9, just replace those darn orange caps and you'll be fine. Talking about taking it to the extreme, how's about a bx300 with the gear upgrade. I've had mine for over 11 years and has not skipped a beat.

They have done a nice mod like splitting the head block in two for Play head azimuth tilt mechanism in CR7. But some parts may be differnt in different application but as for I know they are built on a same basic frame. coming to drives - you have plenty of parts going on to the frame to make up Direct drive motor driven Dual capstan or belt driven mechanism. The second flywheel for the take up capstan in Cr3 is same as CR4. While the other capstan is different as it is part of Direct drive motor. But if you are thinking of replacement for CR7 using CR1 two head mechanism- fitting large number of additional materials to a simple mechanism may not be worthwhile. Sometime that basic frame of ( CR1) may not have holes for fitting some additional parts for CR7. As these parts had been made by CNC punch press, the frame designer might have omitted unwanted holes for Dual capstan drive parts probably to reduce cost.

The SA has a single layer "Super Avylin" coating. This is a doped cobalt formula as far as I know. I personally prefer other type IIs to this one (such as Maxell XLII, Sony UX and Fuji K2). My expereince is that it is rather sensitive to excess level, and magnetic retentivity is a bit below par. However, I recently heard a recording done on a CR-7 with this tape, and it was faultless. Some of the best SA recordings I have heard were no-Dolby recordings peaking at about +0.5dB. You should be able to buy this tape for less than the indicated E1.15-E1.30. The SA-X and SA-XS features a reverse coating of this formula (Super Avylin) as well. This results in better magnetic retentivity and an ability to soak up additional level, but with minimal print-through. It is also brighter and more exciting although just as quiet as the SA. This makes it an unusually dynamic tape, perhaps the best of its class. Perfect Nakamichi food. Price-wise, this is a "deal". The MA is of course a Type IV, MA standing for "Metal Alloy". It is a sort of reference point metal owing to the fact that you can usually get it. It can take piles of level without saturation or compression of high frequencies. Fellow Naktalkers have drawn attention to the lightweight mechanism (same mech as it's sibling SA and SA-X). However, the mechanism will not give you any trouble. Expect a powerful tonality thoughout the spectrum, but particularly in the treble which may require a touch of bias. The price seems right here. TDK CDing are budget entry level type IIs with low-cost mechanisms, slip sheets and shells. They are the match of Sony CDit. Rather stick with the mainstream lines. In regard to other worthwhile cassettes, consider Maxell XLII and Maxell XLII-S, Sony UX and UX-S(the latter should be available in Germany from what I've seen), Maxell MX-S for special occasions, Sony Metal -SR for delicate recordings, the better Fujis like K2 and Metal - Z. Your RX-505 will be marked for EX, SX and ZX cassettes. These equate to TDK AD, TDK SA and TDK MA. The AD has a fresh, upbeat sound that I quite like. It's not very Dolby friendly, and does need the manual tuning you have on your RX-505 to sound its best. It does however have amazing output (thus ability to handle level) for a type I. Good luck, Marc >>> croquetgod at yahoo.com 02/11/03 12:21PM >>> Hello there, (probably this question has been discussed before but it's a bit difficult to search the naktalk archives. any link to a previous discussion of this tape issue would be very much appreciated) what kind of audio cassette would you recommend for a RX505E? my local shop has following TDK tapes available: TDK SA-60 @ 1.15 euro TDK SA-90 @ 1.30 euro TDK SAXS-60 @ 1.09 euro TDK MA-60 @ 2.20 euro plus some cassettes named "CDeeing" or similar. are TDK tapes good at all? (I used to take them some 10 years ago) are the metal MA tapes worth the higher price compared to the SA? what is the difference between SA and SAXS ? any other suggestions? (sony, fuji etc..) thanks for your kind advice jens ===== 'Beides zugleich geht nicht. Man steht entweder auf Beatles oder Stones, man steht entweder auf Gina Lollobrigida oder auf Sofia Loren.

I lost the original black plastic fasteners on the screws that attach the 1000ZXL to the cabinet from the front as well and I found a set of four that are very close to the originals in my lab at that time. Let me see if my lab still have some of those left in the drawers.                 BTW how is pre-recorded audiophile cassette tapes going at your side so far? It dries up at my side (find no more in the local second-hand bookstores) the last couple of years. I do manage to find a complete set of ADVENT CR/70 release - over 70 cassettes a year ago and that is my biggest catch in recent years.     Best Regards, Michael     On Friday, July 11, 2014 1:53 PM, KEVIN ROGERS wrote: Great news Wouter.

It worked when I got it (audio was fine, although I didn’t get a chance to test it out TOO much since it ate tapes), but it needed new belts. I got the belts on but had some trouble getting it back together and, well, I’m giving up. The faceplate has a little wear. I’ll look again and even send photos, but I don’t recall any large scratches. Warnings… There was some bad stuff done to it, at least one connector was attached with a heat gun before I got it. Second, right before I gave up a little bit of smoke came out of it. I’m pretty confident nothing is critically broken, but I’ve failed, which makes me a bit disappointed. I have a replacement so I should pass this one to a happier home. I was thinking $65 plus shipping as an opening salvo. I’d rather it go to someone committed to saving it, not using it for parts. Definitely don’t want to see it parted and sold on ebay. I’m in the NYC area. Cheers, Kaz -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It took some time to find a solution, move to yahoo, google, or continue with my own server... Well it is now a new virtual server, dedicated to this, and also better equipped for anti-spam measures, also it should be less sensitive to providers blocking it. It is: http://lists.naks.com Officially also the list's email address is now "naktalk at lists.naks.com" but I have the old email address also in place for the time-being. I have placed a backup of the old archives, everything is new, so if something is not working right send me a personal email. There is also a treat, the owners manual for the Nak 250 is on the wiki, provided by Manos, thank you! You can find it in the usual place: http://wiki.naks.com/doku.php?id=documents Enjoy Naktalk again!

Thinking on selling a 1000ZXL in parts ! 50 or 100$ for every part. The Problem is this Deck is playing very well , but has no working Record . So It must sell for 1300.- in parts. I did buy it in Japan, It did come with the airplane to europe. But you can use 4mm black screws with an black rubber washer. You find that on Ebay Germany. I was finding the Screws for a 1000II Cabinet that way. regards Gerhard Am 11.07.2014 um 20:53 schrieb KEVIN ROGERS: > Great news Wouter. Let me kick it off with a question.

URL: From perry.nak at comcast.net Tue Jul 22 13:54:49 2014 From: perry.nak at comcast.net (Perry Esposito) Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2014 07:54:49 -0400 Subject: [naktalk] RX-505 part repair Message-ID: <6CD105C6-6616-4E90-AB6A-45971E83701F@comcast.net> I've done that repair two ways. I drilled and tapped and used a nylon screw, cut to length, then sanded the threads slightly so that the original brass roller fit cleanly over it. I also had to surface sand the head of the nylon screw after it was installed so it didn't drag on the underside of the large gear. On the next deck where the brass roller was missing, I had great luck repairing it with an aluminum pop rivet and pop rivet gun. The key to a successful repair this way is to use a steel (steel washer is much thinner than an aluminum one) backing washer. You have to slightly countersink (Dremel w/ carving bit) where the washer lays to avoid it from catching. The rivet and washer sandwich the nylon gear with a larger surface area. Then cut the rivet to length (Dremel with cut off wheel), debur and grease and you are ready to go. That original idea goes to Vlad, I just improved on it with the sandwich via the backing washer to increase grab and stability over a larger surface area. I think you have to have a metal surface, as the nylon threads would wear and hang over time. I preferred the pop rivet repair because it is very hard to thread the nylon screw in straight and plumb. If it is crooked at all then the brass roller does not lie flat and hangs.

I have owned both units from new here in the UK bought from Unilet Audio in Malden Surrey in 1982.
I have had the serviced this month and I've got all the hand books that came when I bought them. All the original packaging is here and I have a printed service manual as well.
I no longer need them as my current pre amp hasn't a facility for a tape deck. I also have high quality leads for connection.
The NR 200 also has it's manual I would prefer to sell in the UK both units.

Offers considered but only realistic email me please.

I've owned both units from new 1983 both fully serviced July this year. I have all the original packaging and manuals including a service manual all 97 pages!

I now own a Grad 1 pre amp which hasn't a facility for tape and because I no longer tape units in my car.
Wonderful machine like to see them go to a good home I'm in London U.K.
I have an array of leads to connect up the units, still have the original metal tape that came with the 581 and the Nakamichi screwdriver!

Reluctant to post but will oblige post will be at cost.

Regards,

Martin Dawson

Your hum in the right channel might be another problem. Try the cap and let me know what happens. Scott From: naktalk-bounces at naks.com [mailto:naktalk-bounces at naks.com] On Behalf Of Peter Tanner Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2014 5:56 AM To: naktalk naktalk Subject: RE: EXTERNAL: RE: [naktalk] 481Z Hi Scott, Yes, by removing C119 the clicks and crackles stopped. I've put in another 1800pF cap and the left channel is now good. No hum at all. The right channel has a hum though so I'll probably have to change C219 as well. Still in Dolby C only. As soon as I get new caps I'll change both including the C119 as the replacement cap is also an orange one and although it's working now it will probably fail again. By the way, in this deck on the board C119 and C219 are marked as C123 and C223 which is weird as those are electrolytic caps and are elsewhere. So C123 and C223 show twice which was confusing. I actually had to blow up that part of the schematics to make sure. Again, thanks a lot for your help Peter ________________________________ From: scott.h.garner at lmco.com To: naktalk at naks.com Subject: RE: EXTERNAL: RE: [naktalk] 481Z Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 19:05:15 +0000 Peter, You are correct, the 2's are for the right channel and the 1's are for the left. Q704 will be fine with C119 removed. Here is the signal flow thru the dolby chips. If you look at the uA7300 chips you will see the block diagram of what is inside of the chip. To simplify my description I am going to label the op amps in the chips as follows: Op amp between pins 9, 10 and 11 will be number 1. Op amp whose input is pin 12 will be number 2. Op amp whose output is pin 14 will be number 3, this op amp is feed from op amp number 2. Op amp whose output is pin 16 will be number 4, this op amp is feed from op amp number 3. The other 2 op amps in the chip we don't have to worry about, they are used in the noise shaping feedback section. For the sake of this description I am going to leave them out. Ok for playback mode here we go: Note: The schematic shows the Play/Record switch, SW301, in the record position. The signal from the play head enters op amp number 1 of IC102. It leaves op amp 1 and goes to op amp 2 of IC102. Op amp 2 feeds op amp 3 of IC102, the signal then leaves op amp 3 via pin 14, goes thru C140 goes to C115 and enters op amp number 1 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 1 and goes to op amp number 2 of IC101 via R125. It then leaves op amp 2 and enters op amp 3 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 3 of IC101 via pin 14, thru C120 then to the outputs via Switch 301. Yes op amp number 4 is not used during playback. For record: The signal from the line input enters op amp 1 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 1 and enters op amp 2 of IC101 via R125, at the same time the signal leaving op amp 1 is sent to the line out via R126 and SW301. The signal leaves op amp 2 of IC101 and enters op amp 3 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 3 and enters op amp 4 of IC101. It then leaves op amp 4 of IC101 via C133 and goes to op amp 2 of IC102. From there it enters op amp 3 of IC102 then out of op amp 3 and into op amp 4 of IC102. The signal then leaves op amp 4 via pin 16 on its way to the eq, bias and record head.

This has been about the most precise description of the Dolby circuit I've ever seen. I would not have the knowledge for figuring it out just by looking at the SM. When you said C 137 I proceeded to remove two of them off a donor board. They are Mylars but have not put them into the 481Z. The C119 is an orange cap 1800p. I don't have a new one unfortunately but I have one or two from this donor board but that means it's not sure if they are good. I'll try to get hold of a couple of new ones. In the meantime I'll do what you suggest and remove the one in the 481Z. Question. By removing it then turning the deck back on I am not going to blow that Q704, by any chance? Or any other transistor? And the 1's like 119, 137 etc relate to the left channel while the 2's to the right, correct? Thanks again Peter ________________________________ From: scott.h.garner at lmco.com To: naktalk at naks.com Subject: RE: EXTERNAL: RE: [naktalk] 481Z Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:05:49 +0000 Peter, A slight correction to my first email, I meant IC101 is used for B and C, IC102 is for C only. The signal passes thru both no matter what NR is selected. When NR is off D101 and D104 are biased on thus turning off the noise shaping of both dolby chips. Also Q106, Q107 and Q108 are turned on thus setting the noise shaping of IC101 to the dolby b mode but since D101 is biased on the chip remains in the noise shaping off mode. When the dolby switch is set to On/B mode the bias on D101 is removed thus turning the noise shaping on for IC101 which is still set to B mode cause Q106, 107 and 108 are still on. Setting the dolby c on turns off Q106, 107 and Q108 setting the noise shaping of IC101 to c mode, also the bias on D104 is removed turning on the noise shaping of IC102. At the sametime Q105, 704 and 111 are turned on. This is where I think your problem is. If you look at Q704 when it is turned on it is putting a filter made up of C119, R715 and L701 in circuit but only when the unit is in record mode via SW301, the play/record switch. C119 is a PP cap, they go bad a lot. I would replace that cap. If you don't have one on hand just remove it and see if your noise goes away. In a early email I stated to check C137, don't bother that cap is used in both record and play, I missed that the first time I look over the schematic. I hope that helps you understand what is happening in the dolby circuit.

NR off, Dolby B on or Dolby C on. It erases and records perfectly on both channels with NR off or in Dolby B. In Dolby C however it erases but records a lot of crackles and a hum on the left channel while there is a slight hum in the right channel as well but no crackles. So the only problem I have is recording in Dolby C. That is the issue. Tapes that have been recorded earlier or tapes that have been recorded on other machines using Dolby C play back perfectly.

Does the unit playback ok in all modes, NR off, b on or c on. The unit records fine with the NR off or b on correct? With the unit in record mode do both sides sound ok then when you play the recorded tape back the one side is not working. If you follow the schematic IC102 is used for dolby b and IC101 for dolby c, for the left channel, but the signal goes thru both no matter what NR is selected. If you can record at all the bias is fine and IC102 is good.

The problem is that I can't identify the caps in the SM that go with the Dolby C. As I've mentioned the Dolby B works perfectly. The manual indicates a number of caps, some pp some electrolytic, some Mylar but all under the Dolby NR in general. There must be at least 50 all together for B and C, left and right. I got lost in the schematic while trying to follow the circuit from the switch. There are a no of big blue filter caps in the NR and as there are crackles in one channel while the other has just a plain hum some of them maybe responsible. I am not sure if I have the know-how to figure it out though. I don't often use the Dolby C for recording but this the only deck I have that has it so it's a pity. Fortunately the playback is OK and the B has not been affected so far. Thanks, anyway Peter ________________________________ From: kaupp240 at hotmail.com To: naktalk at naks.com Subject: RE: [naktalk] 481Z Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:19:41 -1000 Hi Peter, A few years ago I lost one of the channels on my 581 -- but only when Dolby was turned on. It sounded as you describe but was also very weak in volume. When Dolby was OFF it worked fine. The 581 is pretty easy (no Dolby C and no double Dolby). It turned out to be one of the caps in the Dolby circuit -- but it was NOT an orange cap. If memory serves me correctly it some type of film cap and was either green or brown. Get out the schematic and follow the circuits from the Dolby switch. See where the circuits go for Dolby B and Dolby OFF compared to where the circuit goes for Dolby C. The 581 was simple and the difference between Dolby ON and Dolby OFF was minimal. With Dolby ON there were only 1 or 2 caps that got switched into the circuit as I recall. That made it pretty easy to fix. Aloha and good luck, Cheryl ________________________________ From: naktalk-bounces at naks.com [mailto:naktalk-bounces at naks.com] On Behalf Of Ron Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 2:27 PM To: Talk about Nakamichi Cassette Decks Subject: Re: [naktalk] 481Z Peter, it is unlikely the problem is cased by the oscillator. I would suspect the Dolby circuit (specifically, the Dolby C section). While it could be a bad cap, it could also be a hairline crack in the PCB in that area. The latter can sometimes be diagnosed by light tapping on the suspect PCB area and/or judicious application of a freezing spray. Good luck, -- Ron On Monday, February 17, 2014 8:19 AM, Peter Tanner > wrote: Hi everybody, I have a 481 Z which functions very well. Lately, however, while recording with the Dolby C it has developed some issues. The left channel is full of crackling noise and a hum. It still erases though. The right channel seems OK. In Dolby B or without NR the deck erases and records normally on all types of tapes. The two 472 caps in the bias oscillator have been replaced with the same value, same tolerance, same voltage high quality caps. No change. Otherwise the deck has not had any electronic repairs done to it. Can anyone give me an idea what it could be caused by and if there is a fix for it?

Gennady mention that NAK test tape uses different level and that is true but Nak specify to set the deck for the 350mV on its test point instead of 387mV. I think when Nakamichi decide to produce their test tapes, they base on DIN standard that is about 10% down compared to the ANSI. For the problem with THD on your chrome tapes I think that the bias setting for the chrome tapes is too low. That is why you get high frequency boost using Dolby. Also you can do some experiment to put in parallel a RC network to the R155/R255 (similar to R172, C122). This will increase the HF on the REC AMP for the chrome tapes and will require more bias current, which will reduce the THD.

Look at the mechanism control section of the schematic. On the left hand side you will see the control switch P.C.B. That board feeds the latching circuits. Lets look at the rewind section, Look at IC402, see how the two Nand gates are tied together. The schematic shows them as two OR gates with inverters on both inputs, this is just another way of drawing a Nand gate, the truth table is the same. Anyway once any of the control switches are pressed its corresponding latch circuit is turned on. On IC402 once the rewind switch is pressed pin 9 goes low, this causes pin 10 to go high, causing the unit to into rewind, and to remain high even after the switch is released due to way the two Nand gates are tied together. The only way to get pin 10 to go low is to set pin 13 of IC402 low. This is done by one of 3 ways, pressing the stop, having the Shut-Off P.C.B turn off Q421 thus turning on Q422 pulling the stop line low or by the eject switch closing thus grounding D434. I know the eject switch can not be pressed when the unit is running, it is there so the transport will not run if the door is open. The stop command is common to all mode, play, FF and REW Since you said you worked on the transport this is where I think your problem is, your eject switch is closed. With the unit off, take your meter and measure the resistance between pin 9 of CN9 and ground, I think you will find that it is shorted. If it is not measure the voltage on the anode side of D434, it should be high, if it is near 0 volts Q422 could be shorted. Let me know what you find.

I have established that the 15VAC is being rectified to 12VDC. Fairly obvious as the capstan motor & control motor works fine! When I press play, the transport moves to the play position and the play lamp illuminates but as the right hand hub is stationary, the deck cuts out. If I spin the hub manually after pressing play, it stays engaged until I stop spinning the hub - therefore the auto shut off is working ok. A fried resistor R590 probably happened due to shorting of the counter lamp wires - a new fuse resistor was fitted and the lamp new lamp works fine now as does the new cassette well lamp and all the transport lamps. I suspect when this happened something else was damaged but I cant find it. So far I have verified the following parts as either being in specification or have been replaced with new: Q407 / Q413 / Q424 / Q425 / Q426 / Q427 / Q447 R452 / R453 / R467 / R483 / R484 / R485 / R495 / R499 / R510 / R511 / R512 / R517 C412 / C413 / C417 / C419 / C457 IC405 Reel Motor My logic was to work from the reel motor back towards the play button and check everything in between with the deck switched off and parts removed to check then refitting them, but It's difficult to identify the pathway. I feel the next thing to do is establish where the +ve supply to the reel motor should start from - probably CN-7 Pin 2 then follow it to the reel motor to try to find the defective part - this with the deck turned on and measure voltage when repeatedly pressing play. I know it's a big ask, but could anyone help to identify the parts sequence where to measure? The deck has very delicate board traces and removing parts and refitting them needs great care not to pull away the trace leading to bad connections - a couple have had to be repaired already.

I have established that the 15VAC is being rectified to 12VDC. Fairly obvious as the capstan motor & control motor works fine! When I press play, the transport moves to the play position and the play lamp illuminates but as the right hand hub is stationary, the deck cuts out.

A fried resistor R590 probably happened due to shorting of the counter lamp wires - a new fuse resistor was fitted and the lamp new lamp works fine now as does the new cassette well lamp and all the transport lamps.

I feel the next thing to do is establish where the +ve supply to the reel motor should start from - probably CN-7 Pin 2 then follow it to the reel motor to try to find the defective part - this with the deck turned on and measure voltage when repeatedly pressing play. I know it's a big ask, but could anyone help to identify the parts sequence where to measure? The deck has very delicate board traces and removing parts and refitting them needs great care not to pull away the trace leading to bad connections - a couple have had to be repaired already.

You said you checked or replaced IC405, Q426 and Q427 and R512. The FF signal for IC405 comes from IC401 and the Rew signal come from IC402. The play signal comes from IC 402 thru Q420. You have already check/replaced the parts that are common to all modes. The anti slack circuit is basically a direct shot into IC405 via the grounding of C416 and then the recharging of it.

Spray the deoxit into the holes on the back of the control motor a little at a time and let it seep in, then run all the controls multiple times. Best thing would be to remove the control motor, spray deoxit, connect it to 9v DC supply and run it 5 minutes in each direction by reversing the polarity. --Nadeem Sent from my killer Windows Phone ________________________________ From: drucyphr Sent: 05/03/2014 22:48 To: Talk about Nakamichi Cassette Decks Subject: Re: [naktalk] MR1 transport issues Thanks Nadeem!

You said you checked or replaced IC405, Q426 and Q427 and R512. The FF signal for IC405 comes from IC401 and the Rew signal come from IC402. The play signal comes from IC 402 thru Q420. You have already check/replaced the parts that are common to all modes. The anti slack circuit is basically a direct shot into IC405 via the grounding of C416 and then the recharging of it.

By de-connect and connect them again some times. Switch off the Deck for tat. Do that very exact, so you don´t band the mail connectors. Or just touch them with a plastic or wooden toll. when the Deck is playing . Start with the connector for the cables coming from the heads. Look in the SERVICE Manual to see where they are. If you find a connector who is loosing contact if the Deck is getting warm, clean it. If you don´t find anything it can be a bad lead on a PCB who is different when cold or warm. kind regards Gerhard Am 07.03.2014 um 22:28 schrieb Tim Rusling: > I tuned in late, but is it possible to make any commonly needed > parts by 3D printer?

I have established that the 15VAC is being rectified to 12VDC. Fairly obvious as the capstan motor & control motor works fine!

To: Talk about Nakamichi Cassette Decks Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Same here. My 1000 deck has been in Tom's shop since October 2012. I've emailed several times to no avail. I've become philosophical about the whole matter. Someday the deck will be back in my hands or not. BTW: I had a great email correspondence with Tom before I sent him the Tritracer and I believe it is the knowledge and expertise he showed in those emails that has kept up my hope. BTW2: Willie Hermann has always taken care of my decks; I sent the Tritracer to Tom only because Willie no longer works on the 1000. It's sort of comforting to know I'm not the only nakophile who has had this experience.

By de-connect and connect them again some times. Switch off the Deck for tat. Do that very exact, so you don4t band the mail connectors. Or just touch them with a plastic or wooden toll. when the Deck is playing . Start with the connector for the cables coming from the heads. Look in the SERVICE Manual to see where they are. If you find a connector who is loosing contact if the Deck is getting warm, clean it. If you don4t find anything it can be a bad lead on a PCB who is different when cold or warm. kind regards Gerhard Am 07.03.2014 um 22:28 schrieb Tim Rusling: > I tuned in late, but is it possible to make any commonly needed parts > by 3D printer?

I have established that the 15VAC is being rectified to 12VDC. Fairly obvious as the capstan motor & control motor works fine! When I press play, the transport moves to the play position and the play lamp illuminates but as the right hand hub is stationary, the deck cuts out. If I spin the hub manually after pressing play, it stays engaged until I stop spinning the hub - therefore the auto shut off is working ok. A fried resistor R590 probably happened due to shorting of the counter lamp wires - a new fuse resistor was fitted and the lamp new lamp works fine now as does the new cassette well lamp and all the transport lamps. I suspect when this happened something else was damaged but I cant find it. So far I have verified the following parts as either being in specification or have been replaced with new: Q407 / Q413 / Q424 / Q425 / Q426 / Q427 / Q447 R452 / R453 / R467 / R483 / R484 / R485 / R495 / R499 / R510 / R511 / R512 / R517 C412 / C413 / C417 / C419 / C457 IC405 Reel Motor My logic was to work from the reel motor back towards the play button and check everything in between with the deck switched off and parts removed to check then refitting them, but It's difficult to identify the pathway. I feel the next thing to do is establish where the +ve supply to the reel motor should start from - probably CN-7 Pin 2 then follow it to the reel motor to try to find the defective part - this with the deck turned on and measure voltage when repeatedly pressing play. I know it's a big ask, but could anyone help to identify the parts sequence where to measure? The deck has very delicate board traces and removing parts and refitting them needs great care not to pull away the trace leading to bad connections - a couple have had to be repaired already.

Recently picked up a Nak 1000 Tri-Tracer. Not the II but the original. Everything seems to be in order net of two issues. The first is related to FF. Seems to be a bit sluggish. RW works very well and I have had no tapes that will not rewind properly. FF works on some tapes and not others. For those that it does work it seems a bit sluggish vs. RW. For those it won't FF on, I take the same tape to an Akai GXC-570D and it operates correctly so I assuming it's the Nak FF that is the problem and not the tape. I have looked at all the belts and cleaned them. My understanding on this deck is that it's the same motor and belt combination that the sets the deck into FF and RW. Is there something else that engages for FF vs. RW that I should be checking? The second issue is related to the meters. Rarely will they settle to the -40db mark once power is on. Generally they seem to settle at -30 to -35. When there is no power the meter does rest at the proper off position. I have tried to make certain there is no static electricity build up but I really don't know what impact that is having. Using a Zerostat to remove the static. Seems to have an impact but I don't need to do this with any other deck. Appreciate any help or insight. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I would suggest emailing American Recorder at www.info at americanrecorder.com and ask them if they have a local supplier by you as they only ship ground (which I guess would make it impossible to ship to Australia!!!). They are located in the state of California in the United States.   On their web site they call it Professional Tape Head Cleaner. Two ounces, which will last you a lifetime, costs $15.95. This is how they describe it on their web site: "S-721H is formulated to safely remove tape oxides, soils, oils, waxes, greases, adhesives and other contaminants from audio tape heads, video tape heads, tape guides, capstans and pinch rollers. S-721H's low surface tension and excellent wetting of surfaces allow superior penetration of critical tape head micro-gap area while promoting extended life and healthy texture to pinch rollers.  S-721H is designed for use on all types of digital and analog tape recorders.  A clean tape path will insure high quality recording and playbacks. 2 ounce bottle. NOTE: NO AIR SHIPPING - GROUND SERVICE ONLY." They changed their phone number.  It is now 888-611-3790. And, no it does not contain acetone.  It contains hexane.

S-721H's low surface tension and excellent wetting of surfaces allow superior penetration of critical tape head micro-gap area while promoting extended life and healthy texture to pinch rollers. S-721H is designed for use on all types of digital and analog tape recorders. A clean tape path will insure high quality recording and playbacks. 2 ounce bottle. NOTE: NO AIR SHIPPING - GROUND SERVICE ONLY." They changed their phone number. It is now 888-611-3790. And, no it does not contain acetone. It contains hexane.

If have the time check the Naktalk archives, there is plenty of info on tapehead and pinch roller cleaning. This topic generally rears it's head every two or so years. Of the two you have located from Jaycar and are querying , the NA1004 is probably the closest to the S-721H, and the one to use for heads and pinch rollers. It's not quite as refined.. the naptha component is usually a mix of pentane and hexane isomers., whereas S-721H is all 'hexane' (hexane isomers and n-hexane). This brew will evaporate a bit faster thats really all. n-hexane is listed separately on the MSDS for the following reasons, it has to be as it is a CNS depressant, and is transofomed into a neurotoxin if absorbed into the body, and thus is a notifible component. READ the chronic health effects on the MSDS, and follow the handling advice. That all sounds scary, and panic mongery, but use in a well ventilated area, avoid skin contact and given the quanitites you would be using, you should be fine. You'll find the similar warnings relating to petrol........ Don't use the the one with the lube.. you don't want any lubricant on your heads or pinch rollers. cheers, Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: David Thompson To: Jayson Levitz ; Naktalk Sent: Friday, March 14, 2014 1:03 PM Subject: Re: [naktalk] DR-1 I am trying an email to American Recorder but if it is available in Australia it should show up in searches.

You will probably need to replace the drive belt and clean and lubricate the idler pulley and shaft and make sure it shifts smoothly from one hub to the other. Also clean the idler drive and rubber tires that I think are on the base of the plastic hubs on the 500 model. You can download the service manual but nothing is better that just carefully taking the deck apart and looking at how everthing works on the transport by eye. Do the belt replacement and lubrications and it should work again. Good luck and stick with it.   Thomas ________________________________ From: John Butler To: naktalk at naks.com Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2014 5:35 PM Subject: [naktalk] Nakamichi 500 Hi, I just bought a Nakamichi 500 yesterday at a thrift shop and I was wondering if I you guys would mind sharing your expertise with me.

If any one has a great interest I would be willing to part with these items for the right price. I do not want a lot of money but I do not want to give anything away either. I have: Nak 500 tape deck - white Worked when took out of service But that was a long time ago I have 2 or 3 Nak 250 decks 2 of the 3 have small piggy back Dolby B/V units attached that work great One does not The piggy back units can be easily removed but as they do perform Dolby B/C functions one might want to keep them in place. I have one Nak 350 I have one complete ADS 2000/2002 system that is working with power supply and suitcase I have another one that does not work (no power supply but any good 12V car supply works) that I use for parts I also have a mess of ADS 2000/2002 speaker parts Cases Woofers Tweeters Amp boards, etc If anyone is interested let me know. The less work I have to do the better a deal you will get If I have to test and trouble shoot everything I of course am going to want more money for whatever I sell Makes sense so I hope you all understand I have lots of Nak manuals and schematics Mostly for the stuff listed above So buyers of the above items can ask for service manuals and schematics and I will be glad to include them if I have them Michael Marks 931-561-1668.

I am István from Hungary, and probably you have not heard about me for years, as I totally became inactive on Naktalk (and any forums related to Naks) int he last years. Many years has gone, and I just realized I missed something from my life for those years: yes, the Naks, and listening to some music from them. So, I took two of my Naks (the ZX-7, and the RX-505), and plugged them in. Yes, after some years of no-use. You can find out, they were not immediately functional. The ZX-7 was, however ready for use after a cleaning of the cassette section. Inserted one casette after the other, and was impressed by the tender, soft voice I missed really lately. I debated on how digital era changed our lives. Beside the lifeless sound they often provide, this recording method rendered almost every media-product worthless. Especially by the internet, where one can download almost any media he/she likes, and became a „consumer” of contents. This expression is really crazy: we became *consumers* of music, films, etc. as if it would be important to consume as much as we can. I can listen to the same record many times in sequence, if I like that, needing no other music for a while, though it is probably against the consumer behaviour. I still remember the time, when I was a kid (not *that* old yet, however): if I wanted to grab a hit in those times, I was sitting besides the radio, and an empty tape was prepared. Yes, those times were definitely less confused by abundancy of media-contents. But maybe this is the direct reason why those records are still value for me. Of course, nostalgy can really ramp up the value of anything. If it is the only reason to be happy with listening to my Naks, let is be like that. I will be happy at least, and *listening* to some music, instead of consuming it. Some time back, I built an A-class amplifier, and was astonished by its voice from the very beginning. I built the JLH (John Lindsey Hood) amp, which really showed me that at least 90% of my CD-collection is not really enjoyable as music. That is really bad, but again, this is something emphasizes the importance of perfection, represented the strongest by Nakamichi in the 80s. For most people it doesn’t matter if they listen to a real hi-fi record, or they simply listen to some scrap. Maybe they only hear the music (or whatever they are hearing to), but they don’t feel it. I know I was sweating when I listened to some nice record. It is a pity that others probably do not understand what I feel as a real enjoyment – they would miss it, if they knew what it is like. Ok, that’s all for the sentimental words. I will raise a question to you regarding my RX-505 (listening to it right now), which suffers some illness in functionality at the moment. Maybe you can provide me the information to repair it. Kind regards, István -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have been a reader of the forum since 2010, but I had hardly posted anything yet. With no one around to repair Naks I started learning to do it myself with the help from many in naktalk. I bought T100 recently with the intention of servicing naks to factory speks. But when I opened up the unit, I see that the electronics is very very old and most likely the electrolytic caps etc would have changed their value. I can replace them, but after that how do I calibrate T100 itself to read correctly. From the service manual, it appears that I can manage with the tools and equipments I have, except for the "Standard wow and flutter generator". I have seen only W&F meters so far and I could not find much on the internet about the generator. Can anybody here shed some light on this? Also any inputs on getting the T-100 back to reliable state are most welcome Thanks Umesh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am purchasing a few for myself, and would be willing to add some more if anyone else is interested in them. I believe these are the only 2 decks that use them. Price would depend on how many I purchase, but figure around $5 each + shipping in the US and slightly higher shipping overseas. Please email me direct if interested as soon as possible as I need to place the order this week.

Make sure the capstans are very clean, then suspect the capstan belt. Don't just but any one - Marrscommunications one works and ESL has the original.

The capstans from the Classic Transport do not need oil. This oil would reach the tape! I did once see a ZX-9 with fading sound. It was a matter of the tape transport. take a close look to back Torrance , and the Capstan belt. You can use a tape traveling mirror tape to control the contact from tape to heads.

But it is wise to put your vinger on the stop button. You put an mirrorcassette tape inside your Nakamichi and hit the play button 1 With a tin plastic screwdriver you turn the right reel ( supply reel) a few times clockwise so the right reel stops turning because of the internal tape slack inside off the shell. The left reel (take up reel) is still turning in this scene. 2 you look in the mirror of the tape and watch the tape running through the white tape guide 3 if there is something wrong the tape slowly hits the upper or lower side of the tape guide and destroy's the tape . If the transport is ok the tape traveling goes futher without any tape damage and travels exactly in the middle of the white guide. 4 if the transport has problems four things to check: A The calibration of the tape guides B the belt tension from the capstans C the bearings from the capstans D the rollers If you can't find the problem the bearings are the one to suspect ( in my case afterall). Remove the capstans and oil them again (NOT TO MUCH OFFCOURSE) and repeat the check.

Step 13.3.a.3 should read "Set SW9, SW10 and SW13 to on then press the trigger SW1" Doing this will let you perform Step 13 as written. Under this condition you can get word 11001100 by adjusting VR701. I would also like to note that the wiring diagram, Fig 12.2 is wrong. There is no CM1 from the CPU A board to MC1 on the main board. It should be BM3 or pin 1 of IC805 on the CPU B board to MC1 on the main board. I just figured I would share that. Doing step 13 the first way I explained it or this way will yield the same results. Has anyone ever seen a 1000zxl that will not work with the test box? I have seen 2 over the years that once the box is connected all lights start to flash, not just once like when you normally turn the unit on but continually. I was never able to figure out why. The units worked fine in every way and I was able to work around the problem by removing the Latch IC's and setting the bits manually. From what I could tell the CPU was not setting its I/0's to a high impendence state, it was leaving them in a high state. Has anyone ever seen this?

You will see the CPU on the RAMM board is a -114, same base number with a different -number thus different software coded into the ROM. I have seen -113's for sale so I don't think the software was written by Nakamichi. I maybe wrong, maybe someone can shed some light on it. The CPU A board, the one with the CPU chip on it was the same for all 1000zxl's. The CPU B board went thru 3 revisions. I have never seen a rev 1 board. Rev 1 did not use the second half of IC805 to generate the BM3 signal. Rev 2 and 3 cleaned up some of the support parts around IC805.

Message-ID: Hello, I have a CD1.5 which I adjusted the head heights etc using the original Nakamichi test gauges. However, I am puzzled by one thing. After calibration, I noticed that the output levels from headphones and RCA are much lower volume/gain compared to before and I have not touched the gain pots on the PCB. Is this due to a problem with the head height itself? Wouldn't original Nakamichi test gauges already take this into account? In which case, why should this problem occur? Everything else is working fine and I followed the instructions in the service manual to the letter! Thanks. Kelvin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The fun begins when you start punching all those buttons and watching the meters and listening to what comes out. Or not. That's what I did. Give it a half hour and put it aside and sleep on it. The next day give it another half hour and you'll have it. I have the manual around somewhere but it doesn't tell you anything you can't find out on your own. The service manual is helpful, particularly the schematics. Give them a half hour too. Sure the 610 looks daunting, but remember it's just a cool-looking preamp with some bells and whistles. Plus, it has those sturdy handles you can grab onto if you get frustrated. Better than pulling out your hair.

Hi to all members, It has been some time since my last email, i hope everybody is doing well. My 2nd Dragon which has been working well for the last 4 years, without service, all of a sudden and after about a 10 day period without use, will not play. It powers up everything seems normal, it will FF and rewind the tape without a problem, but loaded or not with a cassette, will not play / run both sides.

The remote packed in years ago,but I don't care. They're cool pieces of nostalgic hi-fi. Tim Rusling Nakamichi System One Compact Stereo By bohus It's hard today to buy an actual stereo today. Consumers have been shuffled to all-in-one compact units; often they sound like the guts of a $40 boom box stuffed into a new case with some wood laminate stickers. Before today's audio ghetto of bookshelf stereos, there was a time when a mini-system (miniaturization of any kind, really) was a sign of sophistication and expense. The Nakamichi Compact Receiver 1 was something really revolutionary in the 80's. Along with the imaginatively named CD Cassette Player 1 and custom tailored speakers, this system still packs a punch. Each component is only about a foot wide and two inches high, but it's got everything you might need; real inputs and outputs, concealed CD player, and concealed auto-reverse tape deck. The style and color of the buttons betray the 80's origin of this unit, but I still like it. Both units have a charcoal grey finish instead of dull black or the current horror - matte silver. I bought this set with speakers at a thrift some years back with the idea of taking advantage of its small footprint to put a big sound in the smallest room in our apartment -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Correction to step 13 of the Adjustment section for the 1000zxl with explanation. Anyone who has tried to perform step 13 of the calibration section of the 1000zxl undoubtable has been left frustrated. After analyzing the circuit and taking a few measurements this is what I have come up with. I have performed this on every 1000zxl I have ever worked on with excellent results. If you are not interested in how I came up with the solution you can skip to the end where the corrected steps are laid out. The first thing you want to do when you get to step 13 is to skip it and go to step 14. This sets the offset of the step ladder DAC to 0mv. When all inputs to IC704 and 705 are set high which is what the test box is doing and VR702 adjusted the DAC becomes balanced. It's the same as taking two resistors of equal value, tying them together in series, putting +10v on one side, -10v on the other and reading the voltage in the middle with respect to ground. You get zero volts. The position of VR701 doesn't matter at this point; the gain of zero volts is zero. The DAC is made up of IC704, IC706 and IC713 on the CPU A board. The DAC works like this...a reference voltage labeled A/D Output, which is really the output of a loss less full wave rectifier, I will discuss that in the section, is feed into Pin 6 of IC713 which is configured as a comparator. Pin 7 of IC713 is feed into the up/down pin of IC704 and 705 which are up/down counters. As the word counts down more legs of the step ladder DAC are set low. This starts to increase the negative voltage on pin 2 of IC713, which is an inverting op amp until the point where the voltage on pin 1 is higher than the reference voltage on pin 6 thus causing pin 7 to go to the opposite rail thus changing the direction of the counters to up. The next count causes pin 7 to flip again changing the direction again. This is why the LSB is always lit on the test box, it is bouncing back and forth. Now perform step 15 as it is written, with the addition of what I have underlined. Understanding what is happening here is the key to understanding why step 13 does not work the way it is written. Looking at the schematic for the Main PCB you will see op amp 304 and 305. Op amp 304, pins 1,2 and 3 and both amps in IC 305 make up what is called a loss less full wave rectifier. What this does is takes a small AC Signal and converts it to a DC level without the usual .7v diode drops. This is the signal that becomes the reference voltage for the DAC. The other amp in IC304, pins 5,6, and 7, is used to amplify the signal before entering the loss less rectifier. The gain of this op amp can be configured 3 ways by changing the feedback loop by turning Q306 and Q307 on or off. Condition 1 is a gain of 1.02 which is known as (5v-10db), condition 2 is a gain of 1.6 (8v-10db) and condition 3 with a gain of 16 (8v-30db). If step 15 does not meet the spec, most units I have worked on fail step 15.11, the 400hz -30db setting, the voltage is usual low. This can be corrected by adjusting R338, I have found that paralleling a 2000 ohm with R338 usual works. You might also have to adjust R341, it is a balancing act. After the levels have been verified set the unit to the (8v-10db) setting by setting SW9, 10 to on. Input 400z at -10db, adjust the input level control to obtain 28.5mv on TP101 which will give you 7.6v on CM8. Now adjust VR701 to get 11001100 on the test box. Remember the LSB will always be on so your word will be 11001101. Now perform step 13. This is the marriage between the DAC and the Loss less rectifier. Following step 3 of step 13, set SW9, SW13 to on (400hz -10db). This sets the gain of the loss less rectifier to the (5v-10db) setting. If you look back at step 15 you will see that 400hz -10db adjusted to 28.5mv on TP 101 will provide 4.9 volts on CM8 which is the reference voltage to the DAC. It is impossible to set the test box to word 11001100 under these conditions that is why I had you adjust VR701 above. When VR701 is adjusted correctly the bit weight of the DAC should be 4.736v, 2.368, 1.184, 0.592, 0.296, 0.148, 0.074, 0.037. If you set VR701 correctly the word on the test box should be 10000100 not 11001100. In order to get word 11001100 the op amp gain of the loss less rectifier needs to be set to the (8v-10db) which will provide 7.6v on CM8 with 28.5mv on TP101, see step 15.5. Word 1100110 = 4.736+2.368+.0296+0.148=7.548v. From this point you can just follow the rest of step 13 till the end. So in closing the fix is this. 1) Perform step 14 first. 2) Perform step 15 adjusting R338 and R341 to get good results. 3) Perform step 13 but adjust VR701 to get word 10000100 not word 11001100. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Understanding what is happening here is the key to understanding why step 13 does not work the way it is written. Looking at the schematic for the Main PCB you will see op amp 304 and 305. Op amp 304, pins 1,2 and 3 and both amps in IC 305 make up what is called a loss less full wave rectifier. What this does is takes a small AC Signal and converts it to a DC level without the usual .7v diode drops. This is the signal that becomes the reference voltage for the DAC. The other amp in IC304, pins 5,6, and 7, is used to amplify the signal before entering the loss less rectifier. The gain of this op amp can be configured 3 ways by changing the feedback loop by turning Q306 and Q307 on or off. Condition 1 is a gain of 1.02 which is known as (5v-10db), condition 2 is a gain of 1.6 (8v-10db) and condition 3 with a gain of 16 (8v-30db).

Pin 7 of IC713 is feed into the up/down pin of IC704 and 705 which are up/down counters. As the word counts down more legs of the step ladder DAC are set low. This starts to increase the negative voltage on pin 2 of IC713, which is an inverting op amp until the point where the voltage on pin 1 is higher than the reference voltage on pin 6 thus causing pin 7 to go to the opposite rail thus changing the direction of the counters to up. The next count causes pin 7 to flip again changing the direction again. This is why the LSB is always lit on the test box, it is bouncing back and forth. Now perform step 15 as it is written, with the addition of what I have underlined. Understanding what is happening here is the key to understanding why step 13 does not work the way it is written. Looking at the schematic for the Main PCB you will see op amp 304 and 305. Op amp 304, pins 1,2 and 3 and both amps in IC 305 make up what is called a loss less full wave rectifier. What this does is takes a small AC Signal and converts it to a DC level without the usual .7v diode drops. This is the signal that becomes the reference voltage for the DAC. The other amp in IC304, pins 5,6, and 7, is used to amplify the signal before entering the loss less rectifier. The gain of this op amp can be configured 3 ways by changing the feedback loop by turning Q306 and Q307 on or off. Condition 1 is a gain of 1.02 which is known as (5v-10db), condition 2 is a gain of 1.6 (8v-10db) and condition 3 with a gain of 16 (8v-30db). If step 15 does not meet the spec, most units I have worked on fail step 15.11, the 400hz -30db setting, the voltage is usual low. This can be corrected by adjusting R338, I have found that paralleling a 2000 ohm with R338 usual works. You might also have to adjust R341, it is a balancing act. After the levels have been verified set the unit to the (8v-10db) setting by setting SW9, 10 to on. Input 400z at -10db, adjust the input level control to obtain 28.5mv on TP101 which will give you 7.6v on CM8. Now adjust VR701 to get 11001100 on the test box. Remember the LSB will always be on so your word will be 11001101. Now perform step 13. This is the marriage between the DAC and the Loss less rectifier. Following step 3 of step 13, set SW9, SW13 to on (400hz -10db). This sets the gain of the loss less rectifier to the (5v-10db) setting. If you look back at step 15 you will see that 400hz -10db adjusted to 28.5mv on TP 101 will provide 4.9 volts on CM8 which is the reference voltage to the DAC. It is impossible to set the test box to word 11001100 under these conditions that is why I had you adjust VR701 above. When VR701 is adjusted correctly the bit weight of the DAC should be 4.736v, 2.368, 1.184, 0.592, 0.296, 0.148, 0.074, 0.037. If you set VR701 correctly the word on the test box should be 10000100 not 11001100. In order to get word 11001100 the op amp gain of the loss less rectifier needs to be set to the (8v-10db) which will provide 7.6v on CM8 with 28.5mv on TP101, see step 15.5. Word 1100110 = 4.736+2.368+.0296+0.148=7.548v. From this point you can just follow the rest of step 13 till the end. So in closing the fix is this. 1) Perform step 14 first. 2) Perform step 15 adjusting R338 and R341 to get good results. 3) Perform step 13 but adjust VR701 to get word 10000100 not word 11001100. ========---------------------------------------------------------========= Also check out the wiki! http://wiki.naks.com ========---------------------------------------------------------========= Naktalk at lists.naks.com mailinglist Maintain your account here: http://lists.naks.com/mailman/listinfo/naktalk ========---------------------------------------------------------========= ========---------------------------------------------------------========= Also check out the wiki! http://wiki.naks.com ========---------------------------------------------------------========= Naktalk at lists.naks.com mailinglist Maintain your account here: http://lists.naks.com/mailman/listinfo/naktalk ========---------------------------------------------------------========= -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It was made in '94,and it must have some robust engineering! I listen to this system more than my 600 decks, 610 control pre-amp and 620 amp, MR-2 and CassetteDeck2. I almost gave away the 660ZX, which was too much trouble to keep sinking money in. But the compact components? The original speakers are lovely too !

If that does not help, you can use chemicals. You can use a spray, while vacuum cleaning the switch at the same time. Make sure the dust bag in your  vacuum cleaner is not empty.

No alcohol cleaning for the very good original pinch rollers, Buy an special cleaner for rubber Rollers, That can not be the same solution like for the heads. No sound is not that bad. Check the connectors from the heads to the main PCB. take a look at the SERVICE Manual. Check the Pots. Look at the tape traveling and clean heads. If that does not help, do use a signal tracer to search for the sound in your Deck. gerhard Am 03.09.2014 um 15:33 schrieb Joy-Ell & Rainer: > > Hi Pieter, sounds like you have more wrong than just dirty pinch > rollers, did sound stop all of a sudden? do meters still work? > calibration tones working? > > Cheers, > Rainer > > > On Tue, 2 Sep 2014 20:28:34 +0200, pieter rodgers > wrote: > hi nak people.. > > a little off topic and I know this has come along a few times.. can > anybody tell me which substance should best be used on the pinch > rollers.. mine are dirty and my ZX9 produces no sound at all at the > moment... hope I can mend it with this solution (which should have > been done some time ago..) > > thnx, > > pieter, germany > > From: pbtanner at hotmail.com > To: naktalk at lists.naks.com > Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2014 21:26:29 +0000 > Subject: Re: [naktalk] Fwd: 480 problem > > > > Thanks, Gerhard, I've tried both but no change.

However I’m glad someone has found out that the fault lies with being on Yahoo. So I’m using my works email to contact you all. I have two Nakamichi units model 581 and a noise reduction unit NR 200. I bought both units from their agents in the UK at the time Unilet Hi-Fi of New Malden Surrey in 1982 and they are both fully serviced and work perfectly. I have all the original packaging and manuals together with a service manual, I have no need for these two wonderful pieces of machinery which in the case of the 581 has the alloy transport not plastic as the later units. Shipping will be to the new owners cost and I’m asking £380 for the both units. I don’t want to split them. I have an array of very good quality leads to go with them. They have been used in a Naim / Linn system for over 30 years. Incidentally there are no marks or scratches on the units all LED’s function correctly. Contact me by email if you require photos of the units.
