Holy Smoke, I missed all the pictures before posting.
WOW, how many hours (days) did you spend Daniel ?

Let me guess..... 3-4 days..

Very nice !!!
Looking at those 2 heads, the erase-head and playback have seperated inside.. When that brown-yellow goo comes further down you need to replace it Daniel..

Hi again Rolf,

Would you by any chance know where I could get replacement heads for the GX-270D ? You gave me the part number of these but I had no luck finding anything on the web, supplier, price etc ..... ?

Also, do you know why it is that I'm hearing a bit of bleed through on adjacent tracks (backward) and very low frequencies still present from previous recordings ? They're pretty low in volume but still audible.

Thanks!

Daniel

Daniel, I think the erase/record head is the problem if severe bleed-thru can be heard.
Did you try record with just 456 tape or ?
Buying new heads, give Joe a try and see if maybe he can help you.

Joe has alot of experince and knowledge about heads Daniel.
I have one Akai GX-270 D for parts, but this is a Quad model (SS)and has different heads...

Good Luck
