Picked one up in a pile of gear I bought from a radio station.
Plays great, no issues there. Recorded sound is hard to get right. I've been playing around with setting the bias & levels. No manual. I ran a 10khz tone into it and set the bias where the vu meter rises then just starts to fall off, then set the levels to 0vu. Using this method gets me a decent sound, but with very rolled off high end. I can adjust the bias to get more high end, but then the sound breaks up easily. What is the correct procedure for aligning this machine?
Also - how do you clean the heads when you can't get to them? (Maybe that's why I have no high end). The metal piece on the back of the tape bay opens and covers the heads when you open the door...
