    Hi Matt, I am coming to NC very soon and would like to come by and see your shop. I don't know if you allow customers come to your shop or if you just do online sales. I am looking for a really good Teac X2000R or a X1000R. I had them when I was in the Army when I was stationed in Germany, and now I am kicking myself in the butt for getting rid of it. Please let me know if I can come by or how I can buy the Teac. Thanks

    Hi Big Matt, thanks for the insights! I've got an issue with my R8 which I haven't been able to snuff out where the machine has periods where it stops (when in play/rec mode) after about a second. Other times it'll run just fine though. It looks to be something in the circuitry of the time sensor that makes it think it should stop. When I block the LED from the sensor so it doesn't count time (and so the counter stays at 0 when playing), it doesn't do this. I've tried resoldering some bits and spraying Deoxit but to no avail, I guess because I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly where the issue is coming from. Any chance you've come across this before and you know how to go about fixing it? Many thanks.

    Hi Durk, I'm not familiar with this problematic on an R8, 7 it sounds like you're on the right path. Maybe clean the inside of of the roller that covers the strobe light you mentioned. I'll do some more digging.

    Hey Bigg Matt, just found your video here. I own this tape deck, and it was in storage for 14 years. I dragged it home, (because I needed it all of a sudden), and the only thing I had to do to it, was replace the belts. That was it, and it works great. I saw all those reel decks in the background in your video. Now, I'll have too look to see what you have for sale. I am not opposed to driving to Charlotte for a pick-up. (Although, the traffic there is a nightmare). LOL

    Hi ! Akai GX-747 powers on but does nothing else. Only the vu-meters backlight bulbs light on; the counter is dead and so are all other LEDs; all buttons are non-operational. Tested all power supplies and GND traces to all boards and ICs, especially the 2 microprocessors, IC1 and IC2. Tested the 2 test points TP1 and TP2 for the 400 KHz clock signal and… when the oscilloscope probe touches the TP, the counter lights on and the transport buttons start to work, but only randomly. The measured CLK frequency is about double that it should be (adjustable between 820-1200 KHz). I kinda hit the wall here; if anyone has advanced experience around these microprocessors, I would appreciate any suggestion. Thank you
