@5thcomm Thank you Sir! I had a video of my home stereo system on my original YT channel (which is gone...) and I had my Akai GX-747 and my Teac X-1000r reels on it. I have a few vids left with my turntables amps tube preamps and tube phono amps on them in here somewhere. YOU have a KILLER setup going on back there!!!!

Hello again, friend. These are the instructions: reeltoreeltech.com/repairing-the-motorized-tape-tension-levers-in-the-akai-gx-747/
I actually have one of these
Thanks for the demo. What is your favorite brand of open reel deck?
My favorite is the Pioneer RT 909. It is by no means the best, just my favorite.
What a beautiful r2r. BiggMatt, thanks for another enjoyable video.

Fantastic deck, Matt (and not a bad price)! Did you end up replacing both tension belts and the counter belt?
Thanks EL. Tension arm belts were replaced, counter belt was ok.
Yo veo las publicaciones y me maravilla ver tantos equipos. Excelente colección de magnetófonos.

Hi DG, What issues are you having? I'm in Charlotte.
