Hi There - I just got one of these deck for the best possible price
So far it looks like it is in reasonable shape, I have not aligned it yet but it does play and record. I have changed a handful of the old electrolytic caps ( I measured the old ones on a bridge an some where way off 10uF drifting down to 3 uF etc...) and plan to do more.
What I was wondering was if anyone out there has a manual for this deck that I could borrow to copy? Specifically, I am wondering about lubrication points and other mechanical maintenence for the moters and stuff.
So, anyone else have an ancient Ampex?
Thanks
Kevin.
