input cal should be done before record level cal or you get level mismatch on the tape otherwise all the steps are covered correctly. I would have done in a slightly different order but close enough :)
The machine should always be cleaned but I would be careful with de mag. If you do not know what you are doing you can magnetize the head more than de mag it.
Hope you get this msg - some engineers use several freq's to bias a tape. They find a similar level for various freq's instead of overbias method. Are you familiar with this procedure ? Is it a common level after the bias peak point ?
Cue repro should really be set up after record align for a more accurate cue set up. if you record tones after record align and set cue to that it will be more accurate during overdubs and punch ins.
Thanks for the valuable info mate! :) I will be using this info soon! ;) By the way could you talk a little about damaging heads? Do you do it frequently?
Useful video. However, you failed to mention at the beginning that you need to do those steps for EACH of the 24 channels. Some of your viewers may become confused at this. I did hear you mention that it does need to be done for each, but it was quick, and you were mumbling. However, like I stated earlier, it contained some very useful information. Thank you
Hi !!! I Have Otari MTR 90 Mk I , All Machine work good All function Good All Buttons and Lights Good ,But No Play Mode No FF No Rew Mode, Capstain Voltage 0v, Disconect Capstain motor test from adition Power 4v DC motor Work Good,Tester no motor 36v Play Mode 36v FF -36v Rew, conect Capstain motor Again 0v on the motor, Tech good 90 Degree 5v Sine wave good Squer wave good,Flip Flap good, Reels Motor good Tension Good, Motor Amp All 3 good ... Wath You Decision ??? Please have any Idiya ?
Yeah it's completely aligned if it were a 1 track machine. 23 more to go. Thank you for a good alignment demo though nicely done Ken.
Great video thank you for your experience and time!
"And the machine is completely aligned now". No, it isn't! Only track1 is aligned! :P

Thinking the same, there are more things in the wrong order...
Really is input level/rec level/input level/rec level.. repeat the step.. jh110 over all..
Thanks!

Great info,,, need i it!

good!

Record level (1k) should be in 30 or 15 ips ? Thanks a lot..
Don't forget the bias adjustment
What semester do we learn this in?

those people the very same ones who own slip-on shoes cuz they can't remember that they have to tie two shoelaces not just one
Great tutorial, but the audio is way to low.

Why would you do the input after everything else? Makes no sense
