Hello, I'm new here so forgive me if I've not posted this question in the proper forum.
Since becoming an analog fanatic (lp and R2R) Ive picked a few R2R deck along the wayin the last year. My most resent find is a relatively clean Otari MTR-10ll-CT, it was DOA upon purchase but was able to get the +5VDC going in the PS again and all is well, more or less. What I'm looking for is some guidance from some of the veterans here on the following areas/parts:
1. The unit is missing the capstan pinch roller-where can I find one? Can I use one from a 5050?
2. It's also missing the record button plastic cap and bulb, resources?
3.It's also missing the 4 wheels/casters for the base, ideas?
4.Wanted to touch up the paint on both the side panels and the deck face itself. I'm looking to see if anybody has a color match with today's current paints?
5. General question, the deck I have only goes up to 15ips, not the 30ips any ideas why? I don't think this is the L version of this deck as the SN and Mod# do not reflect that. I do have the UG and MM but not clear why it wont go 30ips? I'm happy with 15ips BTW so maybe its a mute point.
6. Finally, wanted to hear from the community some recommendations on who to call to do a full alignment and set-up for RMG SM900 in Southern Cal.
7. Any current users with tips and tricks that they might be willing to share.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you folks!
