Those Vu meters arnt responding like they should in comparison to the first play

Probably the Tape Bias is misaligned.

Could be an easy fix heads may just need cleaning or the azmith may need adjusting on the tape heads .

Hi
Can you explain how to take off cassette lid on 5010 for heads cleaning.
When I take off lid, the plastic frame is removed, but the glass stay on his place.
May be you can show on video or another way, how I can do remove.
Thanks a Lot from new Marantz5010 owner from Ukraine

Just curious... What does the "B" stand for? I have a regular 5010 that I've owned for years. It was my grandfather's from about 1977-ish. I'd say maybe the "B" stands for "Dolby B", but my regular old 5010 has Dolby B on it. So I'm confused. LOL!

am74343 I honestly don’t know.

There are two kinds one in 440mm and the other the B Version in 416mm , for the Receiver are the 440mm I think and for the standalone parts are the 416mm - without the screws... technical the same...

Please, do you still have the device? I bought a used Marantz 5010B and it has no transformer. I need to know the voltages that come out of the transformer on the red, green and yellow wires. Can you help me?
If I know the respective voltages I can build a new transformer for him.

Im very sorry but I do not have the deck.
