Yea, seems as you learn, as with anything... (like woodworking) for instance,you start with a Sledge Hammer then you learn..all you need is a Finish Hammer! I use that analogy, as I was a Carpenter for 35 Years. That said. I'd like to figure out, how to use what I currently have. I don't have a...

Right next to the muffler bearings!

Actually, I do have a Tektronix 2235 (duel Trace), Isn't the Leader, a True RMS? Also... I didn't mention I have a Protek Multifunction Counter B-808, and a RF generator, plus a Fluke 77 multimeter. One more thing I have is a Fostex TT15 oscillator. I even have, a Leader 3610 Wow and Flutter...

Hello all! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know, I did. I finally got the ATR60 tracking problem sorted out. Turned out to be a combination of Reel height, and Tension Roller height problems.. So it's off to the Electronics Calibration...screech!..stop. Now, I'm confused. I want to...

Thanks wkrbee. Interesting...and I assume, use the ATR manual for the ATR? Since, The recorder in subject here, is the ATR60. No harm trying the adjustment procedure. about the tension spring mount, You think? Even tho, it's not part of the ATR60 manual?

Yea, But, I see that like putting a ladder on a step-stool!:D

OK..yea I can see that working for the reel table height. But, don't know if the edge (that overhangs the Battery) in that image, would be enough to reach the top of the Tension roller, after being stopped, by that kidney shaped plate. Guess I could use my tri-square blade, to lay across the top...

Thanks for the suggestion Alan. Not sure how that instrument would apply to my application..:confused: Cool tool tho.

wkrbee, I have combed my manual, and see no reference to tension adjustments, related to the spring anchors. Just an illustration in Fig. 7-20 page 7-14. Could I be missing it? Answer: I decided to cross reference My MS-16 manual, with the ATR60-16 manual. They are different! The Tension Arm...

Wow! wkrbee, that's just short of, monumental information! In all my research, and reading, I've never heard that. My obvious question, Why, two different Pinch Rollers? When you say "roller arm height" are you referring to the tension roller themselves? What you say about the left roller...

Honestly..I find it EXTREMLY hard to check the Tension Rollers height with that "Kidney" shaped plate in the way. Also, I don't know how significant it is, but the left Tension arm spring looks different to me. I suspect this is the one that was replaced as it is newer looking, and the piece I...

Somebody already beat me to it! FF(T) and REW(T) are already fully clockwise! How am I suppose to set this...40.91 really? .91? where's that? I'm a inches guy! With this?

Excellent point! A question I've asked, but unable to answer. First, I'd like to clear up one point, if I can. I realize it's been awhile since you've worked on your MS-16. But as I see it, the tape guides (1&3) are screwed to the Head Ass'y from underneath, and are set heights. Meaning, if they...

OK. But as I read the manual (and I could be totally off) the Tension rollers height/azimuth and the Tach roller azimuth and Pinch roller, and capstan azimuth all come into play. No pun intended! especially in REW and FF modes. So I'm a little confused when you say " The only thing in the tape...

mdainsd, Sorry, I think maybe I was not very clear. When the hold downs, are not tightened. There is play between the inside circumference of the reel, and the hold down O.D. Thats all. pretty normal I think, but a pain, none the less. I am tending to lean towards the servos at the Tension...

Beck, Curious why you say that "they" appear too high. I actually set the reel heights prior. The take-up was only slightly low. Thanks. mdainsd, :) I didn't even notice that, until I posted the video. I then went to try and even out that wobbly flange. The bottom one was fine. Plus..these reel...

Well, of course it wouldn't do it when the camera was rolling! A shot this anyway. Showing the tape travel with the 456. As you can see still tape rising above the guides.:mad:

I was using GP9 in the video. I replaced it with some Quantegey 456. After that I ran in REPRO, that seemed OK. REW (in Spool mode), the tape raises up in it's path. But it seems more stable at rocking REW-FF-REW-FF ect. It doesn't seem to do all the oscillation, seen in the video. But...it...

Thanks mdainsd. I was afraid of that. Not going to measure 500 +/- 30 grams with this. What model is good. The T2- H2 -ML?
