Hi Everyone,
If some of you ms16 owners out there could lend me a little assist I would greatly appreciate it.
In the maintenance manual on page 7-11 (section 7-5-4. tape tension servo) The diagram shows four different positions (a, b, c and d) To me the "c" position appears to be straight up and down when viewing the tension roller from the top. Does everyone agree ???
On page 7-12 of the manual it state's that with each reel half full of tape put the machine in edit mode and observe the position of the tension rollers to be "near" the "c" position. Could some ms16 owners just check their machines and tell me what position their tension rollers are in. On my machine they are more in the "d" position. Am I interrupting the diagram wrong ? I can adjust R38 and R39 to bring the tension rollers to what I believe is the "c" position but then the machine hesitates to go into play mode and tape tension appears to be too light. I have a tentelometer coming that I bought off of ebay to check tension but I was hoping someone could just look at their machine and see what position the rollers are in. I don't want to go off on a wild goose chase if I don't have to. Thanks everyone ! Dave

Yeah, I still have it. :)

I've been toying with the idea of selling it but if I did, I'd be tempted to sell everything and that would be a massive undertaking as the packing and shipping issues would be monumental unless I could find a local buyer with his own van or truck to cart it all away....and offer me a fair price for the stuff.

Anyway, I still haven't had a chance to check mine for the issue that hilltop studios was asking about...still too crazy round here.

Cheers! :)
