Sony TC-FX220 Cassette Deck - Flutter
Thanks for the reply.
The machine was purchased in 1985. It hasn't had a lot of use in the last 5 years or so. It is not in storage, it just hasn't been used much recently. It works ok, except for the warbling that can be heard when a steady, high frequency note is being played. Mark "b" wrote in message om... If you have unsteady or warbling /quavering effects (especially notable on piano /violin music - use a tape of this to test) try the following: -capstan drive belt needs replacing -capstan shaft bearing needs lubricating -take up spool torque too high -need new pinch roller How old is the deck? has it just come out of storage or been sitting around? Ben "Mark Brown" wrote in message ... Hi. I have a Sony TC-FX220 stereo cassette deck that has a problem with distortion of the higher frequencies, "flutter". Has anyone dealt with this problem on this machine? Would it be something mechanical? Thanks. Mark Brown Toronto |

--- on the heady topic of " Sony TC-FX220 Cassette Deck - Flutter" vy From: "vytasb" vy Xref: aeinews sci.electronics.repair:7543 vy Hi, (jumping in on the thread-) vy I have the same machine, same problem. So I bought a drive belt, now vy the question is how do you get the darn belt on the easiest way? Do you vy have to unscrew the transport mechanism from the chassis? Without vy undoing something, it's a closed system and you can't get the belt vy around the flywheel. Veet, on some decks the flywheel mount must be unscrewed to let the belt through. It is easy to smear the drive belt with oil or grease so it must be cleaned before use. A*s*i*m*o*v .... If all else fails, hurl it across the room a few times! |
