And the diameter is near 87,5mm This measurement will be even more accurate by comparing this belt to an new belts, where the factory tells the diameter. Until now I can say a belt with 85mm to 88mm will be allright. This measurements have been made by photocopies from all sorts of belts, An Electronic dealer back in the 1980ies did order the belts by comparing the old belts to this photo. Great Idea, I did get this photos from him when he closed the shop. everybody worldwide can use this photo . Just by knowing what my mathematic teacher did say. " to measure means to compare " Gerhard  -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I have recently acquired a number of 480 cassette decks and have been picking up various cassette tapes and playing them. My resurgence in interest comes after a long period of years of just playing compact discs (digital CDs). Most cassette tapes play well in each of the 480 decks, but a few start to squeal cyclically, and eventually bog down distorting the sound before eventually just stopping the deck from turning them any further. I've tried turning the tapes by hand with a pen, as well as running them through rewind and fast forward. Curiously, one of the tapes would rewind quickly and would fast forward quickly until about half way through, but then would even bog down the fast forward mechanism, and this happened on two separate 480 decks, one of which has all new belts installed . So I tend to conclude that the issue is within the cassette tape but they seem like such simple contraptions that I cannot imagine what is going on inside one to have this kind of resistance effect of slowing down and even stopping a deck. Can any of you shed some light of understanding on this issue for me? Appreciatively, Michael John O'Connor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Today I replaced the idler motor in my DR-1 and the result was perfect! The only thing you need to do is to cut the shaft since it is a little bit to long. Before I did the replacement I did some measurment as follows: Time to FF/REW with the old motor was 2 minutes and 17 seconds. With the new Mabuchi motor it was 2 minutes and 9 seconds. Torque with the old one was 40 g/cm and with the new 40 g/cm. Very good figures! Now to the even better part, I bought it on Ali Express for USD 15,90, and the price is for 10 EA! Of course you need to add shipping cost. Just follow the link bellow. I have also included some pics so that you can see how it looks like. I also transferred the magnetic shielding and the grey plastic sleeve to the new motor. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mabuchi-Motor-500-12560-Original-new-DC-motor-micro-motor-DC-motor/1771362585.html Best wishes and happy holliday/Pelle. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

With this condition, the tape no longer packs evenly but rather forms a shallow cone (either like a flat hat or a flat bowl, depending on orientation). With tolerances as tight as they are, a difference in height of a few mm between the top edge (for example) of the hub and the top edge at the outside of the pack is too much. This causes the tape to jam in the shell. In my limited experience, it happens more with C-120 cassettes. A temporary fix to play the tape is to loosen the screws of the shell so there is more height inside. Good luck!

In actual fact you were right Cheryl, the tape guides were to blame. Or at least that's what it seems. I managed to get around working on this machine again a couple of days ago and readjusted the supply tape guide with the WHS-300. Moved it out a fraction. The bar rubs against the inner side of the tape guide but it seems to be better aligned with the take up guide which seems wider. The bar fits into it too easily, probably worn out somewhat. I did not make any adjustment on that one. It is still factory set. The deck has these brass clamps which I find more difficult to adjust then the nylon screws. I did not touch the erase head as it erases correctly now and when I checked for crosstalk with a 400 Hz signal I didn't hear any. I've readjusted the head height, azimuth and playback level.

When the nut popped off the left tape guide shaft on my 581 it caused all sorts of oddities after I put it back together. When I had it adjusted too far in one direction it behaved similar to what you described. When I adjusted it too far the other way the erase head did not erase all of the previous recording so the new recording had artifacts of the previous recording. Trying to adjust the heads did absolutely nothing to correct it until the tape guides were aligned correctly. But it was a great learning experience and thanks to Willy I finally got it all aligned correctly. He spent quite a while on the phone talking me through the alignment process while waiting for me to complete each step. Thankfully he has a great sense of humor... Happy listening!

I had this deck for free from a colleague of mine after I had some regrets that I sold off my CR-7E (yeah, I know...) BTW I'm not a qualified electronic head, and I do this to get this thing running to enjoy some music on it... The same question has already been put on tapeheads but I don't seem to get a solution there. Problem: The deck had a defect power regulator, I had replaced that and it went back to life. I had it play for about 2 weeks, when I powered it up later again it did not respond to any of the control buttons other then activating the capstan motor with the play button. The schemes attached is where I suspect I need to focus my search. I have checked the following also with regards the ground wiring: Ground wire Control Switch P.C.B seems to be okay I have walked the pad to the eject switch which basically breaks this circuit. Pressing start causes the main motor (capstan) to run which is also proof that the start switch is not disturbed. I went through the whole story from that auto shut off circuit. The service manual says: "If STOP button is further pressed, Play button will be released and the Voltage at the point A returns to +24V (I'm measuring +15V) as R488 is released from grounding, as a result Q425 is turned OFF and C412 is discharged quickly (I'm measuring 0V) through D423 and R467 (10k) Accordingly, Q430 is turned OFF, Q429 is turned OFF, Q428 is turned ON and +24VS (I'm measuring 6V) is again applied preparing for the next control button operation May I conclude from this that with power on, the 24VS should always be there until I press one of the operation buttons? Looking at the circuit, the +24V on the top right corner to E of Q428 is confirmed. On B from Q428 I'm also measuring 24V, is that the reason why this 24VS on C is not there? I also notice a higher voltage at the Mute signal circuit (9.9 in stead of 8.1) The 15 volts at the Control motor circuit is exact as it is in stop position... When I turn the main gear with my finger, the control motor starts to protest and put it back to home position. I have a youtube in which all this can be seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=U5YngWNnweo Looking back: When I got the deck, it was total dead, power regulator was gone. I have replaced that, and it went back to life. Maybe it got a peak power or something that has blown up a few transistors, could that be possible? Memory function also failed when the deck was running after I fixed the power regulator but did not paid much attention to it then. But I notice now this is also in the Auto Shut-off circuit....

I had this deck for free from a colleague of mine after I had some regrets that I sold off my CR-7E (yeah, I know...) BTW I'm not a qualified electronic head, and I do this to get this thing running to enjoy some music on it... The same question has already been put on tapeheads but I don't seem to get a solution there. Problem: The deck had a defect power regulator, I had replaced that and it went back to life. I had it play for about 2 weeks, when I powered it up later again it did not respond to any of the control buttons other then activating the capstan motor with the play button. The schemes attached is where I suspect I need to focus my search.

I'm finding problems with Dolby tracking with tapes made on my other decks (DR-2,DR-10) On one of my DR-2 I calibrated R17-27 using L. Peromartas's 4K calibration tape. Dolby tracking error became more evident after setting to spec, returning to former setting (approx 450mv at output) decreased error when played back on ZX-7. Record playback monitoring on either deck appears OK. Is it normal for tracking to be off between deck families as in this case or should I be looking for bad dolby setting component given decks age and Orange drop PP caps gone bad? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Using signal gen fed w/15k to verify azimuth. Tested briefly at 20Khz+. all seems fine. I'm referring to how closely the Dolby processors encode and decode, all seems fine when tape made on ZX-7 is played on ZX-7. When recording is made on one of my other decks, there is dynamics shifts when played on ZX-7 and vise versa. I will follow up on azimuth with a tape by Peebles for azimuth verification then recheck to make sure the factory adjustment was not altered.

To make play back equal in two Decks you must not make recordings on one of this Decks. Use good recorded tapes or Testtapes, to find out what Deck is better in alignment. Than use the same tape for the alignment for the second Deck. If the Playback is equal, You can start to align the Play Pack heads, That works only if the record electronics are perfect! If the electronic and bias oscillator are working, the ZX-7 can make perfect recordings. Use the bias set and the rec. level pots on ZX-7 face , to record test tones until 20kHz. Do that again and again until azimuth and high frequencies are getting better and better. You find useable test tones on the internet. If you can not trust the decks meters, you need an Audio meter, On that instruments you have to prove the Levels as well. Look in the SERVICE MANUAL to see how to align the ZX-7 Rec. head Azimuth . There was a guy on Ebay who did sell 1982 made TDK Test Cassettes recorded with original Nakamichi Test tapes aligned ZX-9 Decks. That was me, when I did have more time to do that.

Message-ID: <0A0BB3F0-24A8-42F8-AB49-786D128D1DD9@gmail.com> Dear Mr, Kellerman. There is a good point to recap a Nak at his orange PP caps. Because until 50% of the Decks need that once a lifetime.. But not all all of them . I use a original Dragon and it works and works, not needing anything in orange. To get a better sound by replacing the very good old Electrolytic there is a way to decide this. You have to use two of the same cassette Decks or amplifiers who are sounding exactly the same. If you replace caps in one amp. and the sound of this amp. but with the same source goes better you are in look. There is near no memory in ears. Replacing caps and listen again after some days you can not hear any difference. There is only one way left. You have to listen two amps or Decks at the very same time. Like front and rear. Than, any difference becomes listen-able. If the orange caps in a Nak oscillator do not work you will not get good recordings. If you do recordings on a working Nak, it is hard to tell any difference between source and tape. Thats way we love them.

Then using a 2 identical tapes made one same equipment compared  a Modified DR-10 to a Unmodified DR-10, using A-B test method both with identical cables, etc.I tried to objective as possible as i don't want my experiment to be flawed. I found that I could identify the 2 different decks reliably, with the upgraded deck sounding a small amount different. Still very neutral but a little less "muddled". Nothing to brag about, but my perception that it improved ever so slightly. Still want to see if output voltage is an issue with dolby and Thanks for your input.

But not all all of them .  I use a original Dragon and it works and  works, not  needing anything in orange. To  get a better sound by replacing  the  very good old Electrolytic  there  is a way to decide this. You have to use two of the same cassette Decks or amplifiers who are  sounding  exactly the same. If you replace caps in one amp. and the sound  of this amp.  but  with  the same source goes better you are in look. There is near no  memory in ears.

I'm finding problems with Dolby tracking with tapes made on my other decks (DR-2,DR-10) On one of my DR-2 I calibrated R17-27 using L. Peromartas's 4K calibration tape. Dolby tracking error became more evident after setting to spec, returning to former setting (approx 450mv at output) decreased error when played back on ZX-7. Record playback monitoring on either deck appears OK. Is it normal for tracking to be off between deck families as in this case or should I be looking for bad dolby setting component given decks age and Orange drop PP caps gone bad? ========---------------------------------------------------------=========           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...

However, what you described (2 and 4) sounds like an similar issue I had recently with my CR-3 Its the 3 lever switches indicated in the attachment (that's a CR-7, however it should be the same in a CR-5) Make sure you clean them by putting a piece of paper, wet by contact spray between the levers and rub them a bit (careful!!) and don't forget the one closest to the front (that was actually my problem) That did it for me and my problems were solved after this. I don't think you should do this with sandpaper, however that most likely depends in what shape they are. -- Best regards, Marco van Schoonhoven ----Origineel Bericht---- Van : vijaybagaria04 at yahoo.com Datum : 28/04/2015 09:37 Aan : naktalk at lists.naks.com Onderwerp : [naktalk] CR-5 SWITCHES MALFUNCTION HI FRIENDS, I AM VIJAY BAGARIA, FROM MUMBAI, INDIA.

The first digit from the right (least significant digit) is partially glowing (intermittently) all the elements to give the appearance of 8 all the time. The elements corresponding to the actual number glow a little brighter than rest. But only if we try hard we can make out that number. Sometimes the 8 as a whole keeps flickering. The problem itself is not consistent. In one minute may be for random 10 to 15 seconds the display may look perfect without any problem but for the rest of the time, it keeps flickering. Only the first digit has this fault. The rest are fine. What I have tried so far - Checked all the cables from the logic board to the counter section. Checked the strip cable from the controller board to display board. Replaced Q601 to Q604. Removed the display LED 601 cleaned the pads and soldered it back. All this had no effect at all.

Replacing Q604 doesn't change anything. The 2.7K resistor at the base is good. I have no clue why this transistor alone should give high voltage. Then on a drastic step I lifted the collector of Q604 and connected a 1N4007 in between the collector and pin 22 of LED 601. The junction drop now makes the voltage at pin 22 to 3.6 V and the display is working. Now the flickering 8 is very faintly visible but the numbers are legible.. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It has a tendency to dry out rubber, so you are ruining your pinch rollers.  Instead, use a product called S-721H made by American Recorder Technologies. You can call them at 800-777-9580 or 805-527-9580.  This product is specifically made to safely clean everything the tape comes in contact with - tapeheads, capstans, rubber pinch rollers, etc.  And no, I do not work for or own stock in the company!!!

I think on some old tapes the magnetic material starts to come off and contaminate everything. What I have done with eventual success is to repeatedly clean the rubber rollers and the drive spindles and heads with isopropyl alcohol. Some tapes just keep laying down this brown stuff and you can see it accumulate on the black of the rollers. With each cleaning I would get longer and longer durations of good play time until some tapes could be played all the way through nicely. Some other tapes I've just had to give up on. It seems the magnetic material just would not adhere to the tape. Symptoms were the same: stop or pause tape and it would play fine for anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes before degradation of sound would recur. I use a small piece of sponge on a stick that Nakamichi used to sell in a cleaning kit. Sometimes you can see fine lines around the drive spindles and they really take some rubbing back and forth to get them cleansed. The rubber rollers should return to black when you get them cleaned properly. Clean while machine is in PLAY by removing door cover. You can use a Q tip but you risk getting fine hairs wrapped around spindles. So better to use the sponges on a stick.

I want your opinion on the 4066 chips in my Dragon (SN 3,044). I feel one of the 4066 chips is going bad and want to install sockets and replace them with equivalent chips. I'm aware of the ANT4066 chips but for the time being I just need to know what specific number of the 4066 chip I can use as a direct replacement. There are a lot of varieties so which ones will work ok and what numbers/letter combinations matter when picking new chips? My issue with this Dragon is noise in the left forward play channel when the machine warms up. Only in forward mode, in "reverse play" both channels always sound great. The noise is kind of like wind and a record player needle running across a record combined.... I have replaced left and right forward play transistors and caps in this circuit already. Other than this noise the Dragon functions great. Thanks for your input. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You want to find the adjustments for the built in tone generator ....a completely different set of adjustments . Once you find them i suppose you could try turning them slightly when in the " source " mode and see if you can bring the settings on the decks meters up to 0 VU for the 400 hz tone and down to 0 VU for the 15,000 hz tone if that is the level you remember that it was originally . Like Willy said , it won't be as accurate as an external meter but you can probably get reasonably close enough with some trying . thomas.

Front panel looks like new and the walnut case with slight edge wear Transport works OK but buttons have to be kept down. Belts and motors OK, probably bad relay. It records nicely and meter works on the left channel. Does not record on the right. Meter does not move. Plays weakly with some noise on the right. No playback on the left. Right channel meter is good. Servicing this unit is a relatively simple affair - the preamps and bias circuit are easily accessible plug-in cards. It probably requires the change of a transistor or two and replacement of some caps. The cost of parts is actually very low. A service manual would be useful but not essential. (Meanwhile I still use and enjoy the sounds of a 682ZX, 582, and MR-1) Make me a fair offer. I have photos on request. Can be picked up in NYC, or I'll ship at lowest possible cost.

I recently started listening to them. I feel all the inbuilt preamps are not of the same gain. The matching depend on the output level from the cartridge. I have a Denon 3313. The pre amp gain is too high for the cartridges I have. Distortion and too much cracks is the result. But I know many people who use the same preamp saticefactorily with other cartridges. I have assembled Rod Elliot's preamp. It sound very nice. But the tone is very sterile. It is difficult to say it is good or bad. How strictly the RIAA curve has to be followed is also something I'm not sure about. Umesh On 19-Dec-2015 12:51 pm, "Joy-Ell & Rainer" wrote: > I use a Borbely.

It’s not easy to find any group tests of phono amps as they are uncommon beasts these days. So I listen in with some interest.

However, $$ on my end limit what I can do. I do have a Thorens TD126 MKII with the Shure V15vxmr cartridge and set up properly with the mirror alignment tool and a Shure balance beam force gage. To the best of my ability, it's spot on. The rest of my equipment are of that 'mid-fi' caliber. I have about $500 of working capital.

It looks cool, it's so versatile, and as a hint of tube sound to it. There's an impedance selecting switch on the back. Mine is part of a System One rack, but I think the 610 looks great on a table as we see it in that famous scene in *Diva.* Best, Tom Laurence On Sat, Dec 19, 2015 at 1:21 AM, Joy-Ell & Rainer wrote: > I use a Borbely.

It lives inside my Turntable (a Linn LP12) just by the arm pillar and is powered by my pre-amp. Provides super-short signal path for the low-level signal before amplification. the 'K' version is for low-output MC, with a 'Linn' loading curve and wideband response. There was an 'S' version with different loading and a little HF rolloff for less well-behaved MC carts. I think the prefix was discontinued four or five years ago, now. The Superline is the current product, some steps beyond my Prefix.

In-Reply-To: References: , Message-ID: Well, I am kinda surprised that no one has said they are using a Nakamichi preamp! Probably one of the best I have heard! I have had a 610/620 with 600MK11 for 35 yrs. I spent 6 months listening to all of the well known brands available in London and chose Nakamichi over Naim and Meridian, I have never regretted it. The 610 preamp has just died so I brought out my spare 410 preamp which I believe from Nakamichi's own literature contains the same phono circuit as the 610. For my MC cartridge I use a Fidelity Research FRT 3 passive transferand use a Fidelity Research FR3 MK11 cartridge, The sound is just simply beautiful.

These days, one of my setup is an SME Series III with the MV30 cartridge on a TD125 Mk II. The Shure is an excellent cartridge and it shines through with a most phono amps. You've done right with the setup as they need attention in that area. Having heard the Grahams Slee and Lehmann, they are good compliments to your setup. But the others recommended here have also been rated highly so you might want to shop around for a used one at a fair price. You can get a beautiful phono stage for that money.

I have the first two sets of the Nakamichi Marathon Tape project that was done quite a few years ago which was vinyl to Nak decks to CD transfers. Even on my 1985 Denon CD player, they sound outstanding. So this is why I'm asking the question of a phono preamp. The equipment used on that project had to be of higher end equipment.

My old fallback is a NAD 3020. Which is quite a respectable all around workhorse. Current PS is a lightly modded Jolida JD-9. Recently I've been drawn back to where I started. Smple au/ax based tube designs. Just updated to the latest standard. The JD-9 is a happy hybrid of op-amps and tubes. And a tube rolling, modifiers delight. Best, DD For general information: The phono stages of the CA-5 and CA-7 are completely different. The CA-7 is substantially better sounding than the CA-5 and a whole different circuit design. That was one of the big selling points when both units were new. For an phono stage which sounds great for the money, try the Pro-ject tube line. World class sound for reasonable money.

Hageman Labs Bugle, in excellent functional condition. The 'Bugle' was offered several years ago by Hagerman Labs, in what they called 'half kit'. What one bought from them was the design, in the form of a manual, plus a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). The buyer then obtained the required electronic parts, asssembled the PCB and housed it in a suitable enclosure. Hagerman Labs also offered a fairly advanced power supply, specifically designed for the Bugle, as a similar 1/2 kit. This one is Since then, Hagerman Labs has come out with the Bugle II, a 'value engineered' version, that incorporates cost reduction measures, such as inclusion the power supply on the same PCB and simplified circuitry. This Bugle was built with the best available parts, such as 1% metal film resistors, 1% and 2% polypropylene capacitors, high temperature electrolytics, FET input high end audio ICs, etc. Same for the power supply board. Bugle specificaions: Gain: 40dB (suitable for MM cartridges) Input Impedance: Selected by plugged resistors. Currently 100K Output Impedance: 330 ohms RIAA Accuracy: +/-0.5dB (30Hz - 60kHz) Bandwidth: 15Hz to 150kHz (-3dB) Distortion: 0.05% @ 1kHz SNR: 74dBA ref. 5mV Overload: 55mV @1kHz The Bugle appeared in Stereophole's Recommended Components list and was very highly praised (Quoting Michael Fremmer: "Ridiculously good for the money"). Sonically, the Bugle is on the clear and accurate side, offering sonics whose goal is to closely match the original. What the LP and cartridge feed it is what faithfully emerges at the output. (If you enjoy the Nak CR-7 sound, you will lave the Bugle). It used it with Shure V15-VMR and V-15-VxMR -- sounded superb with either. For photos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1ck5popgjbciqzt/AAC8EfWCOocb6zwR3UNjnItqa?dl=0 Asking $225 plus shipping (or pick up in the Boston Metrowest area). -- Ron -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I was able to find the MM74HC4066N chips, installed sockets and the new chips into my Dragon. I can tell a very very slight difference in the sound. The best part is the distortion noise I was getting when it warmed up is gone. The old Dragon sounds great and it's really neat to hear the NAAC motor dial in on the "sweet spot". It's too bad this Azimuth system was not incorporated into more decks as this really gets the most out of any tape.  Cheers From: "naktalk-request at lists.naks.com" To: naktalk at lists.naks.com Sent: Sunday, December 6, 2015 6:00 AM Subject: Naktalk Digest, Vol 153, Issue 4 Send Naktalk mailing list submissions to     naktalk at lists.naks.com Today's Topics:   1.

You can find them cheap on ebay sometimes, but from time to time they seem unobtainium... Get back to me OTB if you're unable to find it - I could send you one.

The belt had turned to goo ( nothing left to measure ) so I ( don't laugh ) stretched a piece of wire around the flywheel and pulleys and marked it, measured the length, took off a little for stretch and ordered a generic belt that size, installed it, and it worked.

I have the service manual but I can't quite figure out what light to recommend to the tech (I’m thinking of using the one at Audio Connection, I know Johnny Rutan well and figure his tech has got to be good). Is there anything I should have done to this unit when it’s apart? The equivalent of a minor service for a car?

You can always resort to what I did when a friend gave me a non working Project One deck he bought at a garage sale for 5 dollars. The belt had turned to goo ( nothing left to measure ) so I ( don't laugh ) stretched a piece of wire around the flywheel and pulleys and marked it, measured the length, took off a little for stretch and ordered a generic belt that size, installed it, and it worked.

The deck was in a playing condition with all transport functions fully working. However, because there was so much prior work done on the logic circuits, many of the PCB traces were broken and I had to rework to bridge them again. What I suspect is that some cracks may have developed during transit. The ground path between the transport and chassis seems to be complete, enabling playback. However, stop is not happening and this could be an issue with the transistor pair switching the cam motor. David, Are there any other broken traces on the logic pcb that you can find?

I congratulate you on this and this makes much better understanding of how calibration worksI had a chance to check your guidance on my 1000ZXL last week. My 1000ZXL AD output is within the limit shown on step 15 and i had no need to add the resistor for correcting the rectifier error you noticed. but see below that the inbuilt Oscillator output at -30dB is not linearly adjusted for 400 Hz when you switch However I thought why go through the process of looking at bit indicators while we can measure the DC voltage itself at on CM8 in Step 13 while adjusting the VR 301 -304?   I also noticed that even though I set 28.5 mV at TP101 for -10 dB 400 Hz oscillator, when the step goes to -30 dB the actual voltage is not exactly 2.85 mV at the output of oscillator . However feeding 400Hz at -30dB (8 V , -30dB range in AD calibration) to AD correctly indicates the DC voltage as specified in the manual. In such case, i felt that DC output at CM8 can be used as a reference rather than the display while adjusting VR 302-304 for  other frequencies as in Step 13 - 4 to 6 ?   what is the relevance of step 13- 7 for 20 Khz where the output is referenced by reducing reference value by 0001000? why ? this seems to increase the recording output at 20 Khz to adjust for recording loss? what  are your thoughts?thankskannanPS: your suggestion of setting the display to 11001100 works as explained instead of what the manual says  From: "Garner, Scott H" To: "naktalk at lists.naks.com" Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 12:51 PM Subject: [naktalk] Step 13 of 1000zxl After reviewing my notes a little more I would like to add to my prior explanation on how to perform this step.  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?

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.

Provided the heads are not totally worn AND it is fully serviced, meaning equipped with all new caps and belts. If so you will have a very hard time to distinguish its outcome from that of a fully serviced 680ZX. Where are you located ?

The suppliers of quality belt kits keep that information for themselves because of all the work it takes to compile it. You can always resort to what I did when a friend gave me a non working Project One deck he bought at a garage sale for 5 dollars. The belt had turned to goo ( nothing left to measure ) so I ( don't laugh ) stretched a piece of wire around the flywheel and pulleys and marked it, measured the length, took off a little for stretch and ordered a generic belt that size, installed it, and it worked. I think it cost 4 dollars. Thomas.

I also have full technical papers from Telefunken. Also I've made some modifications on my HighCom II - a swich, which turns off the spectral saturation module. I made this mod because I use this systen on my reel-to-reel tape decks which do not need of high frequency spectral limitrer module. The harmonic distortions of the system without spectral saturation module are down compared to the original compander. The adjustments ot the original system are not so complex. First you shoud set the output level ot the generator to set the line out level to a specific value. Then you should set the PEAK metters to 0db for the left and right channels. The next step is to adjust low frequency part of the system. There are two pot on every channel. The first one is used to set the minimum reading for 400hz/0db and the secon one is used to adjust the equal level on the test point for the reference level ot 0dB. The tunning of the high-freqyency part is similar but it uses 10khz reference external signal with smaller level (I think -6dB) compared to the 400Hz signal.

That's an interesting modification with the switch. I was thinking of trying the High Com with one of my reel to reels, but first am just going to experiment with a 680ZX. Thanks for the information. Yes, that is the proceedure I followed. Basically it seems that the adjustments are really just ensuring the correct amount of expansion on the decode side. Unity at 400Hz....600mv in and out, and unity at 10kHz at 6dB down....300mV in and out. Looking at the encode/decode graphs, I can see that at 10kHz, only a level of -6dB will yield an output of -6dB (unity) hence the reason for choosing 300mV as the level at this frequency. In a nut shell, at 400Hz (0dB) and at 10kHz (-6dB) you should be able to switch between 'Pass' and 'Play' and see no change on the meters or VTVM. At any other frequency or level, the encode and decode chips do their thing in a non-linear fashion. If I have the above correct, all is good as the adjustment were all very easy to achieve. What I found a bit strange was the Encoding Characteristic check. I could confirm operation on the Low Band side at 400Hz...ie. +10dB in gives +5dB against reference measured in 'Pass', and -60dB in gives -43dB against the same reference. The High Band side however does not seem to yield the +2.2dB and -38.5dB with the same +10dB / -60dB levels at 10kHz. I was also not keen on the meters hard pegged over at the +10dB test levels. I need to reconfirm the results I got here. I am about to it connect it up and do some tests to see how it sounds. I really hate that you can't do a switch between input and off tape using the High Com during record. I guess you just have to play the tape back and make sure it sounds as it should. I will keep you posted on the results. Thanks for the direct email, I may contact you for some one on one.

If you can share the manual(s), I would appreciate it. As someone who digitizes all manner of tapes for the copyright holders, I would like to suggest that Dolby B is the most robust and best-sounding consumer noise-reduction system over the long-term. I actually prefer to digitize tapes that were not Dolby or dbx encoded and then use a touch of iZotope RX Advanced to reduce tape noise. That, of course, is a single-ended process, not an encode/decode process. The problem is that HF response on cassettes shifts over time and even if the deck is perfectly aligned, the Dolby will not track well. I find that I can usually get it to track well by adjusting the output level of the Dragon and the room monitor in a complementary fashion so that the listening level remains constant and I can hear the outboard Dolby 422 decoder's performance as I vary the relative input level to the decoder. Since the input level to the internal Dolby decoder is a service adjustment inside the Dragon, I turn off the internal Dolby processor. Once you know what to listen for, the too "light" or too "heavy" application of Dolby will either let noise pump up or close down low-level high-frequency components. Note: The loss of HF in cassettes in storage is an artifact that, to the best of my knowledge, has never been formally studied. A friend in the business noted it, but could not interest his employer in testing it. He left his notes when he left his job, but it was in the order of 10 dB at 15 kHz in a year on some brands and nothing on other brands. Country of origin was less of a factor than brand/type. The tapes were not abused nor played during that time. There has been no convincing/proven explanation of the mechanism causing this loss, though several possible causes, including magnetostriction, have been suggested. As an aside, Maxell XL and XLIIS which I used extensively back in the day seem to have held up well. While I do have outboard Telefunken High Com and Nakamichi High Com II decoders in my arsenal of noise processors (along with Sanyo Super D, Telefunken C4, Dolby A, B, C, S, and SR, and dbx I and II), I have not found any client tapes recorded with High Com (original or II) and I may be one of the few if only tape restorer who has these. I have decoded some Telefunken C4 which is the pro version from which High Com was derived. In fact one piece I decoded is on a special CD set of the National Symphony from Washington DC. It was a fun project. The engineer running the project ftp'd the segment to me, I ran it through the analog processors and ftp'd the file back to him. This was almost a decade ago now, so that was more high-tech for audio than it is today. It all worked . I suspect reproducing High Com tapes going forward will be very dependent on your ability to maintain the unit (and the unit's ability to be maintained). I would not keep anything archival in that format. I think your decision to keep it as an interesting piece of the puzzle of attempting to achieve better and better sound is a good use for it.

That is interesting information, and no doubt in the digitizing and restoration game you would have a great deal of experience with the various noise reduction systems. I agree that Dolby B whilst not perfect is probably still the best bet for domestic use. I do also use Dolby C with my ZX-9, but tracking has to be spot on of course. Your observation regarding high frequency loss on cassette tapes surprises me, as that has not been my experience with my stock of TDK SA-90s from the 1980s. I have ZX-9 'C' and 482 'B' recordings from then that still hold up when played today. There may well be roll off I guess, but not in the audible music range that I can hear, and the tracking must be correct on the decode as there is no breathing or noticeable artifacts. I really only purchased the High Com for a bit of fun, and possibly to use on one of my reel to reels, but as you say, doing so requires it to stay functional for the life of the recordings. I am not archiving anything, just recording for the sheer enjoyment of the hands on analog experience (I am an ex broadcast engineer) and for the whole restoration process of the equipment. I obtained the manuals for the High Com, from HiFi Engine, although only the operational manual matches my exact unit. The Service manual is for what must have been an earlier 'A' revision unit without the High Com encoded disc position on the mode switch. I am assuming however that the setup is similar between both models. Here is the link... http://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/nakamichi/high-com-ii.shtml The Nak Talk Wiki http://wiki.naks.com/doku.php?id=documents also has both operation manuals and the service manual for the 'A' version.

Hess wrote: Hi, David, Congratulations on setting up the High Com. If you can share the manual(s), I would appreciate it. As someone who digitizes all manner of tapes for the copyright holders, I would like to suggest that Dolby B is the most robust and best-sounding consumer noise-reduction system over the long-term. I actually prefer to digitize tapes that were not Dolby or dbx encoded and then use a touch of iZotope RX Advanced to reduce tape noise. That, of course, is a single-ended process, not an encode/decode process. The problem is that HF response on cassettes shifts over time and even if the deck is perfectly aligned, the Dolby will not track well. I find that I can usually get it to track well by adjusting the output level of the Dragon and the room monitor in a complementary fashion so that the listening level remains constant and I can hear the outboard Dolby 422 decoder's performance as I vary the relative input level to the decoder. Since the input level to the internal Dolby decoder is a service adjustment inside the Dragon, I turn off the internal Dolby processor. Once you know what to listen for, the too "light" or too "heavy" application of Dolby will either let noise pump up or close down low-level high-frequency components. Note: The loss of HF in cassettes in storage is an artifact that, to the best of my knowledge, has never been formally studied. A friend in the business noted it, but could not interest his employer in testing it. He left his notes when he left his job, but it was in the order of 10 dB at 15 kHz in a year on some brands and nothing on other brands. Country of origin was less of a factor than brand/type. The tapes were not abused nor played during that time. There has been no convincing/proven explanation of the mechanism causing this loss, though several possible causes, including magnetostriction, have been suggested. As an aside, Maxell XL and XLIIS which I used extensively back in the day seem to have held up well. While I do have outboard Telefunken High Com and Nakamichi High Com II decoders in my arsenal of noise processors (along with Sanyo Super D, Telefunken C4, Dolby A, B, C, S, and SR, and dbx I and II), I have not found any client tapes recorded with High Com (original or II) and I may be one of the few if only tape restorer who has these. I have decoded some Telefunken C4 which is the pro version from which High Com was derived. In fact one piece I decoded is on a special CD set of the National Symphony from Washington DC. It was a fun project. The engineer running the project ftp'd the segment to me, I ran it through the analog processors and ftp'd the file back to him. This was almost a decade ago now, so that was more high-tech for audio than it is today. It all worked . I suspect reproducing High Com tapes going forward will be very dependent on your ability to maintain the unit (and the unit's ability to be maintained). I would not keep anything archival in that format. I think your decision to keep it as an interesting piece of the puzzle of attempting to achieve better and better sound is a good use for it.

I would not load a commercial "travel transformer" more than 50% long term, however. With that said, if you find the official NAK part or a substitute, remember that the primary mains fuse needs to be halved (or follow the Nak spec). Also, if you look at a substitute transformer, worry about the magnetic shielding and check orientation before mounting.

It is advised in the manual to adjust the PB Frequency response by shorting the series resistors to this coil suitably. But how is the trap coil tuned? Meaning once the coil is miss aligned, there has to be a way to set it correct right? For eg: I have a unit with cracked ferrite core in the coil. I will find a replacement core, but how do I set it correctly? In the case of Rec. Eq, 23KHz is fed and the coil is adjusted to peak output. But there is nothing mentioned for the PB coil in the manual. After shorting both the resistors, setting the coil for peak out put using a 20KHz PB response tape would do?. Once completed, the resistors can be set for actual requirement. Please advise. Thank you Umesh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Information was that it would not play, FF or Rew. But had done so before storage several years ago. Ok, belt and idler change and cleaning. Well exactly that have been done. But, when I put a tape in the deck and powers up. The head bridge? and capstan wheels move into action without any buttons being pressed and the capstan wheels presses onto the capstans and it pulls the tape. But the reel hub stops after a couple turnings. No commands seems to be registered with a tape in it. If I press FF without a tape, it will wind and continue until I press stop. Rew button must be held down and then will wind, but it does not react to any play command. I of course had to take the transport out and disconnect the necessary wiring. So is it still a mecanical problem, or is it related to a contact point that is reconected faulty or both og any other solution?

The Part number of the coil on ZX9 is different from CR7 and the Dragon, but the value is given as 10.5mH. Given the fact that all these heads have the same gap length, the compensation would be the same.The capacitor that pair with this coil to form the compensation is 3900pF on all these decks too, So if this coil is misaligned, I hope it wold be safe to remove the coil and adjust to 10.5mH and fix them back on any of these decks, On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 11:48 PM, Umesh R wrote: > Hi Willy, > I was referring to the playback frequency response section.

The only difficult thing in testing this is that we need 20KHz PB Freq Response tape. The default tuning is near to 25KHz and the lowest it can come down to is just about 21KHz. You are correct. The deck is supposed to give nice response without adjusting this. I think the Nak designers also intended this circuit to do only gap loss compensation. That is why the peaking range is limited exactly above the 21KHz. So the lesson I learned is never to mess with this unless we are absolutely sure that needs to be done and an accurate 20KHz -20dB tape is required to do this. If the reference tape is wrong, the play back may still be fine, but the entire recording calibration (Bias, levels, Eq peaking) goes wrong as well. More importantly...while turning clockwise, we should feel it when the ferrite cap just touches the center core of the coil. Any force applied beyond this will crack the cap. But if the coil was turned accidentally, the way to get back to the original setting is to remove the coil and set it to 10.5mH while connected to an LCR meter. I am so humbled Willy. You have put it very nicely. If I keep goofing up like this everyone can learn from it and have a laugh too. LOL. It's alright. I still get to learn harder....

A tape can also run longer because of more tape in the shell .

Tape often had a buffer. A 30 minute reel tape is typically 32 minutes...1200 feet at 7.5 in/s is 1920 seconds. That is 6.67% addition. Anyway, cassettes tended to be closer to their published running time, but 92 seconds over 45 minutes is only a 3.41% addition. One way of setting speed is to find a wow and flutter tape that is designed for the purpose and measure the frequency precisely. Although that is not perfect, it will provide a better indication than the end-to-end running time of a cassette.

Ken je de machine in bovengenoemde advertentie? Is niet zo heel ver weg van jou. Ik ben nou niet echt op zoek naar een money drain momenteel, echter de advertentie lijkt interessant genoeg volgens mij. Ik heb echt geen idee van dit type, ik vind het wel wat. Is dit waarde vast? in combinatie met alle accessoires, box, de ruisonderdrukkers (waar ik eigenlijk geen interesse in heb) moet het ding ca 1100 op brengen, daar gelaten of er nog iets van die prijs af te lullen is. De CR-3 die ik momenteel heb is goed, zeer goed zelfs, echter heb niet echt een klik met dat apparaat, veel te conventioneel... Uiteraard zou ik veel liever de 1000ZXL willen hebben die jij momenteel aanbied, maar dat is toch wel enigsinds onbereikbaar voor mij. (wat een geweldig ding is dat!!)

It is important to isolate noise from the relays on board and may be missing on yours if wires are cut.

Since the erase head is mono it erases both channels simultaneously. If it were too low, it would cross over the side-to-side guard band (which it most likely is designed to erase somewhat) and starts erasing from the other direction. Generally, erase heads have a wider track than audio heads, to make sure they get everything. While not conclusive, if you record on side A and then erase side A in the machine, is there any remnant of audio on the left channel of side A? If there is, the head is very low. If you replaced or realigned the erase head, what did you use as a reference? If the top of the erase head track is even with the top of audio, I suspect that could be why its bottom is too low, especially if you get full erasure of side A left. Cheers, Richard -- Richard L.

The erase head has not been touched to my knowledge unless the previous owner did something to it which I doubt. The pinch rollers in this deck were in great shape so the guides were not removed therefore not realigned. I've checked them though with the guide height gauge and they are correctly aligned. The playback and record heads height were readjusted as per the service manual. So was the azimuth. The deck erases both sides without residue but I'll recheck that. It's only the right channel I have this problem with. If as you say the erase head is too low how would I go about readjusting it? I only have the guide height gauge, the 400 Hz, 1kHz and 15 kHz tapes.

Best regards, Norman Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPad Op 25 mrt. 2015 om 02:02 heeft Cheryl Kaupp het volgende geschreven: Hi Peter, It sounds to me like the tape guides are not properly aligned. Once they are properly aligned the heads will need to be realigned. I went through this on my 581 when the left tape guide metal post moved out of position in its plastic housing. The tape guide alignment is critical to proper track alignment. Aloha, Cheryl _____ From: Naktalk [mailto:naktalk-bounces at lists.naks.com] On Behalf Of Peter Tanner Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2015 12:11 PM To: naktalk naktalk Subject: [naktalk] 482Z I wonder if anyone can help with this issue. I have a 482Z which records and plays very well, everything works and it sounds great. It does one strange thing though. The recording on side A sounds perfect but when I record on side B about 8 decibels get knocked off the right channel on the already recorded side A. When I rerecord side A then 8 decibels are knocked off the right channel of side B. I've tested this with a 400 Hz and a 1 KHz signal. I have no idea why it does it but the signal loss is quite audible. It does it on all tapes Dolby B or Dolby C or without NR. Playback and record head height is correct so is the azimuth. The level is right too at 90 mv. If anyone has an idea thanks in advance.

I've only ever had one that was a real dud - a 680ZX, and a couple of 480s that died prematurely.  The decks I've been using the most have been the longest lasting:  an MR-2, a  600, Cassette Deck 2, DR-2, DR-3, and I'm knocked out at my little compact system, which look like toys but get played 2 to 6 hours a day, cassette mostly, and never a glitch or complaint after a good 19-plus years. Now, that was money well spent!

I'll try the method you suggest. I suppose to do this I'll have to remove the playback/record head bar and then readjust both record and playback heads after reassembly. Since nobody has made any adjustment on this deck regarding the heads before why would the erase head move or get out of alignment on its own?

I know of no easy way without the Nak erase head gauge, which literally would take 5 minutes , which is how I adjust it. I've seen this exact very same thing. It is possible with a lot of trial and error to use a Mirror tape and an Information Terminals M-300, but it really would be a PITA. Use the mirror tape to move the tape closer to the outside edge of the erase head by about 0.5-6mm, (which requires adjusting the two lower erase head spring loaded screws in minute amounts while constantly reloading the Mirror tape in between adjustments), then use the M-300 to verify azimuth (less critical on erase head) and tilt (more critical to prevent uneven head wear) which is the real PITA part.

I'll check those guides again with the WHS-300, perhaps Cheryl is right and they've gone out of alignment though there is no tape skew even on poorer quality, commercially recorded tapes in playback. If all else fails I will send the transport up to Norman if his offer still stands. The deck has a beautiful sound so I'd like to get this issue fixed. I actually have a perfectly working 482 transport which, the last time I tested it, erased correctly. I thought of swapping the two transports but on the 482 the record and erase head connecting cables are shorter as the 482 did not have a separate board for recording like the 482Z. Of course, I could just move the face plate from the 482Z with the longer cables over to the 482 transport but then I might run into some other issues even though other than the shorter cables they are identical. Thanks for your help. Peter Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2015 12:53:23 +0000 From: perry.nak at comcast.net To: Naktalk at lists.naks.com Subject: [naktalk] Classic Transport Erase Head Alignment As you surmised, which is why I said it was a royal PITA, to adjust the erase heads lower screws requires removal of the face plate and normally removal of the transport and often the cassette holder because the headblock plate has to be removed. That is why I said to adjust the lower screws in slightly, which has the effect of rotating the head And causing the tape to rise closer to the edge. The top edge is the left channel and the center is the right. The erase head is a 1/2 track head that is designed to erase from the outside edge of the tape to slightly into the dead zone between the the two right channels located in the center of the tape. Your tape is traveling such that the erase heads lower (center) edge is too close to the other sides right channel and slightly erasing it. Whether this is due to tape path or erase head alignment I can't say, but since you have a WHS-300 it is very easy for you to check the both tape guides. If they are perfect then it has to be the erase head. Why, I can not say, but on decks that I adjust, the erase head is often drifted maybe 50% of the time. The other heads have drifted more often. The screws MAY have worked out slightly which is uncommon because they are lock painted in place. Normally, I suspect it has crept up over time because the heads were close to out of alignment from the factory and wear and time have caused drift. It is a mechanical system depending on alignment due to pulling a thin tape between two metal rods and a pair of 30 year old rubber rollers. How could it NOT change? Personally, I would remove the transport and send it to Norman and accept his generous offer. The Nak erase head gauge is fast and extremely accurate, but cumbersome and still requires transport removal and head plate removal to use anyway.

But so far the only mishap I have had was with an eBay seller that announced an Akai reel to reel deck in working conditions (i.e., plays, records and FF, RW) only to see that it was NOT PLAYING, and did not come with the parts it said it would (missing an empty reel and the original manual)!! I tried speaking to the seller and all I got was “well, I shipped it complete …”. On the other hand I found all other sellers, particularly with Naks, to be honest people, but also very helpful to the extent that I now exchange emails and Facebook notes with them. My rule of thumb is: 1. buy from reliable (see eBay ratings) sellers with nothing but 100% satisfaction, and the ones with slightly lower grades, check why they got it. 2. make sure you know what you are buying and ask specific questions that concern you 3. check the other items” the seller is offering to see if he/she just resells whatever they put their hands on or if they deal more specifically with hi fi stereo equipment. There’s a handful of very serious dealers that seem to be in the business for the long haul. 4. taking advantage of your comment, Kevin, I try to buy repeat from dealers I’ve already bought from and our friends here at NAKS. Other than that, its pure luck of the draw!!! As an important footnote, for Naks I definitively go with Willy Hermann, and for other brands (why not Naks too!) with Fred Longworth and Jordan at Classic Audio Repair, in San Diego, CA. Hope I’ve helped! Regards, Rodrigo Krause dos Santos Rocha rksr59 at terra.com.br > On May 6, 2015, at 2:05 PM, Kevin Fetner wrote: > > I've been saying this for fifteen yrs or longer.

From the days of lore when ebay had the feudal feedback 'wars' and sellers would allowed to try and destroy buyers, even if they were clearly in the wrong. I'm not saying I like the way ebay is formatted now necessarily, because we lost a lot of good sellers when they changed the rules. You were either lucky in the draw, or enough people/friends posted about their bad ebay buys that you paid attention. Ten yrs ago it was a literal minefield there. I was buying vintage stereo gear there way before that and I can relate some pretty awful, sad-sack buying adventures. Your rule of thumb is fine, but I seldom find what I want from the same vendor. If I were buying all the same brand items like Nak, yeah maybe. Unless you're buying restored vintage gear from a real tech/pro, don't waste your money on "restored" equipment from ebay. You'd be horrified to know the competency of the "techs" restoring that stuff on ebay and you wind up having it done again. It's just a way to pad in some more price to the sale. With Nak decks especially, we have maybe only a half dozen good techs in the US left that can calibrate the higher-end Naks and have all the specific Nak tools. I have Tandberg R2R's....there are even less techs for them and you can wait yrs for the decks to return.  Willy H. is great and have used him many times. Your first choice should be to ask these great techs that are left if they have decks for sale. Then if you do go the ebay route, make yourself a budget and stay with it. If the price on a Nak is too good to be true, it probably isn't. With us remaining 'challenged' people who still use cassettes, Nak is still the top dawg and very much sought after. I've got a giant Onkyo receiver that Fred L. is gonna get soon. The freight is gonna be outrageous and the carriers will do their best to destroy it, even double boxed.  Kevin Hi Kevin,In a way I think I must agree with you. But so far the only mishap I have had was with an eBay seller that announced an Akai reel to reel deck in working conditions (i.e., plays, records and FF, RW) only to see that it was NOT PLAYING, and did not come with the parts it said it would (missing an empty reel and the original manual)!! I tried speaking to the seller and all I got was “well, I shipped it complete …”. On the other hand I found all other sellers, particularly with Naks, to be honest people, but also very helpful to the extent that I now exchange emails and Facebook notes with them. My rule of thumb is: 1. buy from reliable (see eBay ratings) sellers with nothing but 100% satisfaction, and the ones with slightly lower grades, check why they got it. 2. make sure you know what you are buying and ask specific questions that concern you 3. check the other items” the seller is offering to see if he/she just resells whatever they put their hands on or if they deal more specifically with hi fi stereo equipment. There’s a handful of very serious dealers that seem to be in the business for the long haul. 4. taking advantage of your comment, Kevin, I try to buy repeat from dealers I’ve already bought from and our friends here at NAKS. Other than that, its pure luck of the draw!!!As an important footnote, for Naks I definitively go with Willy Hermann, and for other brands (why not Naks too!) with Fred Longworth and Jordan at Classic Audio Repair, in San Diego, CA.

In other words, playing back an older tape that used to sound good does it still sound good? How does it sound in forward vs. reverse? I would be very surprised if it sounds the same in both. A very simple question, when was the last time you cleaned the heads...really cleaned them with swab and fluid? The ferrite repro head in the Dragon is a wonder. While they can wear out, the only damaged head that I've seen has been from too much humidity (at least). I suspect that there are few, if any, to be had in the world. I hope my seven Dragons last for the rest of my tape restoration/digitization career. I do have four or five MR-1s as well. I had one spare head but it is now being installed in a machine. I bought it when I had the chance (actually an entire playback mechanism) about 12 years ago and it was the last assembly that the repair place in Southern California had.

It will permanently enable the mute circuit unless bridged with an added resistor. The described 480 problem clearly points towards a burnt out shutoff mechanism bulb. Photo sensor senses no more movement, circuit concludes a stopped tape and shuts off. Bulb is a PITA to reach because it requires full extraction of mechanism.

Bulb in auto-stop detection is okay, right? If you start to measure in the Auto shut-off circuit, you will find some strange values there, point A in the service manual for example; The SM state that it must have 23 V and you measure only 15 V In fact everything points to this circuit, by lifting resistor R473 (if that's the same for the 480Z) you will most likely get the controls back. You are not suppose to switch functions with that resistor lifted before pressing stop first! See the topic on TH.net: http://www.tapeheads.net/showthread.php?t=39512 After replacing about all the components in that circuit, it still failed (most likely due to my lack of knowledge of electronics) I ended up replacing the whole main PCB from a donor deck that was given to me, where after I brought it to Norman van Wijnen for calibration. The deck plays like heaven now, but I have invested a LOT of time in it to get it running again. -- Best regards, Marco van Schoonhoven ----Origineel Bericht---- Van : radiocitycab at yahoo.com Datum : 27/10/2015 15:15 Aan : naktalk at lists.naks.com Onderwerp : Re: [naktalk] 480Z problem (again) I'm surprised that so many people have serious problems with these decks. None of mine have ever had any kind of open-surgery and only a 660ZX was a total dud. Yes, I do know they're ridiculously complex - but still. . . All my others just keep making great music, and my 2-pc. grey compact system has been playing on cassette [mainly] and once in a while on CD almost every day, several hours a day for over 20 years. Still terrific sound [to me] and all transport functions are fine. Must have been wonderful engineering. My oldest is an original grey 600, still with the matching control pre-amp and amp.

To make a long story short, I checked the following: - both +12 and +24 V are there - all transistors and diodes on logic PCB OK - no wire disconnected or broken - No light from the key bulbs - LED meters shine The three observations of "life" are : - When I push PLAY, nothing moves but the capstan motor that is turned on - When I close the door of the cassette well, the take-up reels turn for half a second as it should. - When I try to rotate the CAM with my finger while the deck is on, the control motor is turned on to go the opposite way!

So I translated to 480Z and I lifted R432, and on the commands came back to life. So I definitely have a problem in the auto-shut off circuit. Now, as I already tested the deck with another transport (coming from a working deck) with the same behavior, I deduced that the problem did not come from the transport. What can be the reason for activation of this auto shut-off circuit ?

The reason I am posting is to bring back an old topic about low level power supply hum that leaks out to RX-505 audio output, originally posted by Scott on May 2011 and I think I found a solution for this. Couple weeks ago I aquired many cassettes with very good classical recordings and I pulled out the RX-505 from storage so I can listen to both sides without having to flip the tape over. I remembered that it had the 60Hz hum issue that I did not care in the past. I searched for it on naktalk archives and found out that the same problem was described by Scott and there were several suggestions to replace any power supply caps, but that was not the issue. I noticed that by moving the power supply board the hum was increasing or decreasing, so I figured it was a grounding issue. I saw many black grounding wires running between and around different boards, possibly to mitigate the same problem. After doing some clean up and tightening the ground/chassis screws, the hum at the audio outputs disappeared. Here is what I did: Removed 3 screws from power supply board (heatsink) from the chassis. Cleaned them up (remove any corrosion) and tighten back. Tighten down all screws holding the heatsink on the power supply board. Clean the oxidization on the ring connected to ground wire (on one of the heatsink screws) Clean the grounding ring at the audio in/out connector. I also removed the dolby card and cleaned its connectors, but this step probably does not matter. After all I think this is a design issue. Over the time the grounding connections got oxidized. Maybe Nakamichi did not use the correct material for grounding screws etc. Hope this helps other RX505 owners. _Fuad From ronami at yahoo.com Tue Nov 10 20:01:31 2015 From: ronami at yahoo.com (Ron) Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 19:01:31 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [naktalk] 481Z In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1608066709.2793579.1447182091854.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com> First thing I'd do is check the mechanism control cam adjustment.

I'm here in Florida and have been unable to find anyone qualified in the area to look at the 600.

They bought up all the remaining inventory of Nakamichi original parts and still have many to this day. I hate to use the word "expert" but in this case I will.  ESL are experts in repairing all models of Nakamichi cassette decks and bringing them up to and even surpassing original factory specs. They are known the world over for this expertise.  Contact Jeff Galin Jayson On Friday, November 13, 2015 3:32 AM, Thomas R wrote: Hi Richard ; It's a very simple and practically free repair .

My 505 does not like to open if my room is cold. It needs to like ambient temps to work properly. When fully warmed up after running a tape completely on one side after a full mmanual rewind (with the room at at least 70 deg F), it should work fine. If the door still refuses to open up, then likely an unfortunate mechanical issue.

Maybe that clip is broken because of a bad repair action. Replacing means a replacement of the whole head base plate and ofcourse a new alignment using the nakamichi gauges. If the tape is not coming out of the machine the motor, belt or gear assembly of the cassette flip mechanism need service.

I followed your suggestions, reseated and cleaned the connector to the board, and sprayed contact cleaner on the contacts by the transport mechanism.Unfortunately I still have the problem.However I think I screwed up by using Detoxit Fader cleaner, a can I bought for quieting by faders on a vintage Fostex 350 recording mixer.It seemed oily and I don't believe it's zero residue.I will pick up a can of zero residue cleaner and see if a) it cleans up the Detoxit residue I left on the contacts and connector, and b) see if it fixes the problem. Thomas, thank you for your help, guidance and suggestions.Will keep you posted on the results. Thank you everyone else for commenting and the positive comments for Willy Hermann and his quality of work on these beautiful vintage Nakamichi's.

All functions such as FF, Rewind and Play work and the tape does play however there is no playback sound. What it does do, and this is also true if no tape is in the tape well is peg the meters, and if listening on a audio system a loud whoop can be heard as the meters peg and then recede again. Now, it seems the right channel stays fully pegged when Play is engaged and the left pegs into the red intermittently. Although my electronics expertise is minimal I did remove the casing to visually inspect to see if something had become loose during shipping but could see nothing questionable. It seems I will have to send it out to be repaired as this does not look like a home DIY project I can handle. Any suggestions or references for qualified Nakamichi cassette repair. I'm here in Florida and have been unable to find anyone qualified in the area to look at the 600. (I recently purchased a VG Studer Revox A77 reel to reel, and was fortunate to find a tech in Tampa who had worked on them back in the day), but prior to that, it was also very difficult to find anyone who worked on Revox.

Thank you Tom, you are right. The deck ZX7 was in the closet for more then 1year,and the first thing came to my mind was some electronic problem might happened. I tried another C60 min cassette, and the muting sound came again. But this cassette had a clear shell , and I saw that the tape is uneven rolled up inside. This morning I found time ,and I cleaned all rubber parts /pinch rollers, all belts/,as you suggested. Problem is solved, and I already recorded one C90 cassette… So thank you again guys!

I think on some old tapes the magnetic material starts to come off and contaminate everything. What I have done with eventual success is to repeatedly clean the rubber rollers and the drive spindles and heads with isopropyl alcohol. Some tapes just keep laying down this brown stuff and you can see it accumulate on the black of the rollers. With each cleaning I would get longer and longer durations of good play time until some tapes could be played all the way through nicely. Some other tapes I've just had to give up on. It seems the magnetic material just would not adhere to the tape. Symptoms were the same: stop or pause tape and it would play fine for anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes before degradation of sound would recur. I use a small piece of sponge on a stick that Nakamichi used to sell in a cleaning kit. Sometimes you can see fine lines around the drive spindles and they really take some rubbing back and forth to get them cleansed. The rubber rollers should return to black when you get them cleaned properly. Clean while machine is in PLAY by removing door cover. You can use a Q tip but you risk getting fine hairs wrapped around spindles. So better to use the sponges on a stick. Michael O'Connor Bothell, WA, U.S.A.

I think on some old tapes the magnetic material starts to come off and contaminate everything. What I have done with eventual success is to repeatedly clean the rubber rollers and the drive spindles and heads with isopropyl alcohol. Some tapes just keep laying down this brown stuff and you can see it accumulate on the black of the rollers. With each cleaning I would get longer and longer durations of good play time until some tapes could be played all the way through nicely. Some other tapes I've just had to give up on. It seems the magnetic material just would not adhere to the tape. Symptoms were the same: stop or pause tape and it would play fine for anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes before degradation of sound would recur. I use a small piece of sponge on a stick that Nakamichi used to sell in a cleaning kit. Sometimes you can see fine lines around the drive spindles and they really take some rubbing back and forth to get them cleansed. The rubber rollers should return to black when you get them cleaned properly. Clean while machine is in PLAY by removing door cover. You can use a Q tip but you risk getting fine hairs wrapped around spindles. So better to use the sponges on a stick. > Michael O'Connor > Bothell, WA, > U.S.A. > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Martin Ferreira _____ From: bglosi at tilkoblet.net To: naktalk at lists.naks.com Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 14:30:18 +0200 Subject: [naktalk] Cassette Deck 1 problem My Cassette Deck 1 will respond to play and FF with no tape in it, but not to rew. With a tape in it, it will rew. and FF, but on play, the tape will start and the transport move for some seconds, but seems the takeup/pull side will not continue moving. And with that command, it will block other commands, so I have to turn it of to stopp. I have checked the control motor and the gir cam and also compared to my functionong DR-1. I have checked the connections cables. I can not find what the problem is. Any one that may have some sugestions?

URL: From emberphoto at hotmail.com Sat Oct 10 08:18:00 2015 From: emberphoto at hotmail.com (Steve Ember) Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2015 02:18:00 -0400 Subject: [naktalk] Blank Chromium Dioxide Tapes for Sale Message-ID: Hello Everyone, Thought I'd mention this to fellow Nakaphiles before going the Ebay route. I would like to find a good home for 79 genuine Chromium Dioxide C-46 cassettes (these are the real deal if you are partial to CrO2 itself as opposed to other Type II formulations). These were recorded on only once by a studio using Nak MR-1 and MR-2 professional decks. I fell into these when I purchased one of their MR-1s but, beyond trying out a couple on various of my Nakamichi decks, never used them as I prefer the longer lengths. So they are in every sense new. OK, here's the downside -- so do read the "fine print" before purchasing. 1. These were demos for a band, so the attractive translucent shells do have white printing. Not a biggie, as you'd probably be using your own labels. 2. Because these were demos or intended for sale, you'll need to cover the break-out tabs to be able to record on them. 3. They do not have cases. However, they are entirely clean and pristine, as I've had them in my tape cabinet. So no dust or other contaminants. This length of CrO2 cassette seems to be selling for about $5.00-7.00 each. Considering the "downsides" cited above, I'd like to get $3.00 each, or you can take a savings if you purchase the whole lot for $175. Naturally, I'd prefer to sell the whole lot of 79, but as we're all hobbyists and Nak-Lovers, I'll be happy to sell you as many as you'd like. I'll charge actual postage, based on quantity/weight. I recommend these especially for Nak and other high end decks that allow front-panel bias adjustment, or auto calibration, as the CrO2 bias current requirement seems a bit less than the typical Nak Type II preset. Come on and try some! Steve Ember -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The best way forward might be some coolant spray to cool the potential component/s and then gradually weed out the problem. The problem might also be on the CPU PCBs which have a direct impact on recording so I would tackle that first.  Cheers, Bala Ganesh  From: Terry Barton To: Talk about Nakamichi Cassette Decks Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2015 12:00 AM Subject: Re: [naktalk] Fwd: 1000ZXL Additional Service Notes Thank you very much :)Terry On 19 Oct 2015 14:46, wheijke wrote: Just forwarding this..

You can check that by recording a Tone, by playback this recorded tape when the deck is cold. To save a lot on work always on the ZXL check the switches first. By switching them . After that the two relays on the main PCB. Iff the Playback only is muting the Play back am PCB connectors, and the CN for the Play back head on it. If rec. is muting check the Rec. Amp, PCB connection and the Rec. EQ Amp. Rec. dolby amp next Only by moving them very little and look at the sound or meters. If the Deck was been transported it opens a different sorry. ( all the PCB itself, by broken solder way ) If the Deck was not transported , i would think to replace PP- caps. If you re install the 5 PCB to there connections, hold the main PCB from the other side to save him , ( not banding him by bushing ) switch the Deck OFF doing that. Open a ZXL from the wood case when the Deck is on its back. Lift the Deck up only ! To save the wood under the Deck that way. Other way around if you put the Deck back to the wooden case. The wooden case is on his back by free space for the cable.

I would suggest fixing the playback problems first. It is easier to fix and without a good playback, you are not going to get good recording either. Plug in a pair of phones to see if the sound is clearer. Does it sound the same with or without Dolby or External NR? This might give an idea where in the playback chain to look at.

Yes, I do know they're ridiculously complex - but still. . . All my others just keep making great music, and my 2-pc. grey compact system has been playing on cassette [mainly] and once in a while on CD almost every day, several hours a day for over 20 years.  Still terrific sound [to me] and all transport functions are fine.  Must have been wonderful engineering.My oldest is an original grey 600, still with the matching control pre-amp and amp.

Read this. Message-ID: <2076554764.2497813.1442264077830.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com> If you're in the market for a tube power amplifier, I have an offer for you. 'Tubes for Hi-Fi' has been offering their M-125 high power mono-block tube amplifiers for some time now, in both kit and assembled forms. Rated at 125W per mono-block, these offer high quality parts (e.g. heavy gauge stainless steel chassis and H/W, large output and power transformers) , at very attractive prices. As to performance, all user reviews of the M-125 I've seen were enthusiastically positive. I became interested in these amps some time ago, hence the following offer: if you're  contemplating purchase of one (for mono) or two (for stereo) high power tube power amplifiers, I am willing to assemble M-125 kits for you. I have all required tools and test instruments and offer high quality, professional level workmanship - I spent years as a tech specializing in audio before getting my BSEE -- and, later, MSCS -- and have built literally hundreds of audio electronic devices, both kits and home brew. I offer to do the job for free (well, almost... read on). Here's financial data: a pair of M-125 kits costs $1778 plus roughly $300-$340 for tubes, plus shipping. A pair of assembled units sells for $2795 including tubes, plus shipping. This works out to about $700 for assembly of a pair (do the math). If I do the job for you, you'll save about $700 minus the cost of shipping to me (it should be low, as I am in the same state as the shipper). My reward for the work is: you let me keep the amp(s) for a couple of weeks AFTER completion of assembly (that may take 2 to 3 weeks). During that time I'll be listening to the amps and making some performance measurements. Think of it as burn-in. Now, I realize that this is a long shot -- most here would probably prefer to assemble their amps and will enjoy the work. However, I'm hoping someone here isn't keen on assembly but simply wants the amps for use and enjoyment, plus be happy to save a few bucks. If you're that someone, please let me know. If you're interested but have questions, just ask. For more M-125 info, visit http://www.tubes4hifi.com/bob.htm and click on the M-125 button. -- Ron -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android From:"Umesh R" Date:Sun, Aug 16, 2015 at 11:35 PM Subject:[naktalk] ZX7 Counter display problem Hello All, I am Umesh from India, seeking some help in fixing a ZX7. Transport rebuild, Rubber parts replacement, orange caps replacement and all the electrical alignments are done. The only problem left now is the counter display.  The first digit from the right (least significant digit) is partially glowing (intermittently) all the elements to give the appearance of 8 all the time. The elements corresponding to the actual number glow a little brighter than rest. But only if we try hard we can make out that number. Sometimes the 8 as a whole keeps flickering. The problem itself is not consistent. In one minute may be for random 10 to 15 seconds the display may look perfect without any problem but for the rest of the time, it keeps flickering. Only the first digit has this fault. The rest are fine. What I have tried so far -  Checked all the cables from the logic board to the counter section. Checked the strip cable from the controller board to display board. Replaced Q601 to Q604. Removed the display LED 601 cleaned the pads and soldered it back. All this had no effect at all. Any advice on this issue is highly appreciated.. Ps: On LED 601- pins 22, 18, 6 and 12, pin 22 (the first digit) alone is at 4.3 V while the other 3 are at 3.4V to 3.6V. Replacing Q604 doesn't change anything. The 2.7K resistor at the base is good. I have no clue why this transistor alone should give high voltage. Then on a drastic step I lifted the collector of Q604 and connected a 1N4007 in between the collector and pin 22 of LED 601. The junction drop now makes the voltage at pin 22 to 3.6 V and the display is working. Now the flickering 8 is very faintly visible but the numbers are legible.. ========---------------------------------------------------------=========           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...

Not surprising. Ground problems are usually manifested by hum. Sizzling (or 'static') is usually caused by a poor contact somewhere in the signal path. I would first attack the volume control issue, since it can contribute to (or maybe even cause) the static. Open the deck and identify the volume control PCB. Measure DC voltage from all 6 solder tags to ground. It should be absolute zero. If not, correct theprobmem before proceeding. Next, try to clean the volume control potentiometer. Most controls can be easily cleaned form the outside, but (if memory serves) the BX-300 uses sealed controls. Nonetheless, you can try to clean it. Get yourself some contact cleaner in a spray can. Open up the deck and spray the contact cleaner into the back of the volume potentiometer, in the area where the solder lugs are attached. Do this while working the potentiometer back and forth. From time to time plug the deck to an outlet, turn it on and see whether the problem has been alleviated or solved. Keep doing this for a while before giving up  :-(. As to the static, it helps to have some test equipment. I would listen to the static at the output, then move the test point down the signal path toward the input. At some point, the static disappears. It is then easy to locate the cause (most often, a bad cap, a cold solder joint or a hairline crack in the PCB).

This is NOT one of the cheapie handheld models. It's a compact table model that develops 3000 gauss -- strong enough to erase Metal/Type IV tapes, which is why I bought it. It works perfectly.   $75, which includes USPS mail in the continental US.   A copy of the manual/instructions will be included. The unit I have comes with the screw-in lug for R2R tapes, but has a small bit of one corner of the top plate (which is plastic) missing. I can provide a picture to anyone interested.
