Hello, The multimeter was used to make sure that the micro switches went to near zero ohms, but is not necessary. The oscilloscope was used for azimuth alignment. If you want to be very precise like I am than you need one but you also need laboratory alignment tapes and a torque meter. As a rule I do not replace any capacitors. Pioneer uses High Quality condensers with very high dielectric strength, low leakage and working voltages far above for the circuit parameters. Cheers, Tom Possche

REST in peace..Thomas..You were great in repairs..

two tips for you... 1) oil your magnifier lamp hinges. 2) the rt909 has. an in/out reel adjustment slot on the fwd end of each reel shaft (facing the user) a simple flat head screwdriver will enable you to avoid all the tape scrape i could hear during the segments when the 7 inch reels were spinning.

you still repair for customer?

Just terrific, granted it's not the whole grueling process, but it is a labor of love and this kind of attention to detail must be a fascinating watch. Love the test music at the end. If I still had my 909, I would let this man work on it, better yet i would love to sit and watch him do it live! My god, can you imagine?.... makes me sad I don't have my baby anymore. Great video even if it is an advertisement, but wow, what an advertisement!

you got golden hands Great job

It is a pleasure to see a fine technician at work doing things the right way and not skipping on the very important details that will provide long reliable life.

Hello would you tell me please what kind (lubricate greasy) Best do used thank you so much

Greetings, On your RT-909 you have a set of fuses, on mine there are no fuses, is yours dual voltage? do I have a later model? any info appreciated....

What is cool about this video is for someone who knows what is going on it is a great step by step on what to repair. Everyone one else? Eh???

sopmot - You are the kind of person that I would like to get some ideas of how to repair my Pioneer CT-F850.

Cordial saludo. Que delicia ver trabajar un maestro con ese conocimiento y dedicación. Excelente vídeo. Tengo dos 909 una de ellas empezó a dar problemas, el motor izquierdo se quedó muerto, no daba play a ese lado ni menos rebobinaba...solo a la derecha.... ahora no responde a ningún mando...y me he dado cuenta que con tan solo encender la máquina, inmediatamente empieza el motor izquierdo a girar como loco. Alguna orientación o consejo..lo agradecería inmensamente. Arturo Colombia.

Was wobbling around because of the music at the end :) Great stuff! I want one of those now.

I do have a rt-909. Everything working but the reverse play. Any idea? Thanks

Hello ! I have a almost mint cosmetic condition 909 and it playbacks 100% . The problem is when a record and erase a tape : 1) When I try to erase a song, it doesn't erase it 100% ! The left side still plays the song in a very low volume ! 2) When I try to record over a pre recorded tune and playback this new recording, I can hear the old tune in a very low volume ! Do you know why ? PS : The heads were cleaned e they look very mint pieces !

I didn"t go that far on the tear down. The one I got had some of the rubber parts turn to tar, pinch rollers and belt. My question is,I want to align the heads,is the cost of the test tape over $200.00 or am I looking in the wrong places?.

i need mine repaired. are you still doing repairs?

Hello friend, I have a question. How do I repair the screen of my reel to reel pioneer? Everything works and sounds great, but the panel went off. Can you give me some advice?

I have this Reel to Reel I wish I could use it still and it was looking as good as this one on the inside :( Great work, if your ever in the UK please let me know hard to find anyone to fix mine :) Nice Vid. All the best

Some units were meant for the US 110V and some for export with 110V/220V Yours could be a later or an earlier model. The unit I worked on was from one of my customers, who required a Restoration. Cheers, Tom

thanks for the info, mine is 110v / 220v....

Can you tell me how hard it is to replace the capstan drive belt? Where it is located and how does it go on?

It is simple it against the wall between two aluminum round wheel

I am about to change the belt and pinch rollers on mine. Hope that is all she needs.

GOOD JOB

Great job very professional how much that will be to do the same thing's with my Pioneer 909 thank you

Thanks for sharing. You sure know what you are doing. In what part of the world are you? Thx

I would never file the contact considering these parts are impossible to find, once you file it, you lost some metal on that contact and it won't last as long. Just clean the carbon off is good enough.

Do U have a Pioneer RT 909 for sale?

Спасибо! Очень интересный аппарат!

Hello I got a question when I record on my pioneer 909 VU meter , and from source shows me very nice level recording ,soon as I record something and put the same tape whatever I record to the different reel to reel recorders then I see low level, And again the same tape on the completely different reel to reel Machine maybe I'm doing something wrong? thank you

Jennifer - I've tried, for some time, to secure your father's DVDs. Unfortunately, none of my efforts have produced positive results. Is it still possible to purchase the set? If so, I'm definitely interested.

Jennifer - Yeah, I've scoured You Tube, but there is only one clip from the DVDs. Ironically, about a year ago, there was a full set on Ebay, but somebody outbid me with .003 seconds left, or I would have raised my offer. I even contacted him and said I'd pay him whatever he wanted for copies. He declined my offer, saying that he felt that would be unethical. I told him your father had passed away, but it was no dice. So thanks anyway. And if you ever find the files, let me know. I'd love to purchase a set. Thanks, Scott

Looking for someone to restore my RT 909. Are you doing it now? Consider doing mine? Prince range if willing?

look up J-Corder he will take it to a whole new level..

if you turn on the numeric panel meter, but not the vumeters

that´s olders "home recording reel to reel tape tubes like gruding TK-47 and others like that" will work well for recording voice (singing), old style (elvis styles) with all the saturation of the tube time? all warm weight and harmonics that recordings used to had? to play,

I'm glad I have not had to repair my pioneer RT , only a control-light no longer works , only which is defective for the directional....

Hey master, if I can help I thank you, I have a pioneer rt 909 that will not start the vumeters panel, check the connectors but nothing, I guess enough energy does not reach you, you can help me with that? Thank you. I am using a translator online.

Молодец мужик, сейчас таких уже не делают, ни людей, ни магнитофонов ...

The tension wheel business looks scary.

So why didn't you show us what did you adjust to get the max amplitude and in phase signals? I thought that's the whole purpose of this video, to show us how, not just to show us what.

Ironicly, I just bought this exact same reel to reel. The only thing it needs is two new pinch wheels.

My pioneer Rt909 was working till I clean inside with Crc Electronics Cleaner,it does want to run,still has power,can any body help me Please 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️👊👊👊😧😧😥😢😪

Hello pobe rokit, Go to ebay and put RT-909 in the search engine and look for "Restoration Service" Cheers, Tom Possche

how to restore a rt909......its a secret , but he`ll give you an 8 min hint.

This preview isn't worth a plug nickel. You can't understand what he says and he doesn't follow through on any one aspect of what he is doing. Very POORLY DONE, even if just meant for a "taste" = tastes awlful !!

I am sorry, but this is just horrible to watch.
