The lamps I used are 6V 3mm wired in series. The power source for the lamps is 12V AC, which is why the LEDs didn't work.

Those felt disks can be purchased in kit form from the usual suspects, look for something like "felt washer for VCR repair" or something close. A wire brush can also restore them sometimes. CA was the right choice for the overmolded plastic parts that Sony is so fond of, JB weld is formulated for metal repairs and doesn't wet out plastic very well at all. Another good choice is Acrylic cement assuming, of course, it's Acrylic. Did you ever get your tape back, and why is shipping from US to Canada so outrageously expensive all of a sudden?

Hi! Thanks for the useful video. Sorry for my English, I'm from Ukraine. I have TC-K81 and it seems to have the same problem. Low winding force, when playing a cassette, closer to the end the autostop is triggered, often pulling the tape out of the cassette. The cassette deck was serviced by a technician, but he was still unable to adjust the required force. I didn't quite understand about the spring and the locking washer, it seems I need to disassemble the tape-transport mechanism myself and watch your video again.... 😑 It scares me a little... In general, the cassette deck has excellent sound, I would really like to adjust it.
@Oklawolf22 күн бұрын
It is the same transport - this is usually caused by the rubber take-up idler to the right of the left side reel table. A new idler tire should fix it. They are available from Siliconemind on eBay. My video from today on the TC-K55 may help as well.
