I'm really glad you got this machine working so well considering the state it was in. You're truly amazing at these vintage deck restorations. 😁I wish I had your abilities with this stuff but with my low vision and anxiety disorder, there's only so far that I can go with servicing so watching you preform these intricate repairs is pretty mind blowing for me.

I have disassembled the mechanism of Pioneer CT 760 Devk as one gear was broken .Now I am unable to reassemble the same.If possible please make video of that. Thanks for reading.
Great video. I am working on a K75 but my 75 has a switch power knob instead of a push button like yours. Do they (k55,65,71,75,81etc) have belt sizes for the capstans? Curious because I read they share the same tape transports.
Belt sizes will be identical to this one. I have them listed in the video description. All of those models use the same transport, but only the three head decks need that intercapstan belt.
Hi I have the same Sony tc k75 and it has terrible wow /fluter (0.428) .I opend it and I realized that in last service they used same diameter belts for capstan and Intercapstan.Can this cause that problem .Can you advise me from were can I buy new belts .I see that you have the right diameters .
That sounds like it's more than belt issues - you'd have to pull it apart and inspect everything to see what the problem is. Could be a lot of things causing it.
Arrrrg, Sony plastic overmolding and unnecessarily proprietary engineering, all designed to a failure coefficient quota, even back then. I think Hanspeter's tapes are very good, a slight difference in shell thickness, insertion force, the recorded frequency, and a million other things, all effect the phase. You did a fine job bringing this one back to life.
I'm starting to realize that the HPR azimuth tape is more than good enough for my purposes. If I align every machine in my collection to the same tape, they're all going to play each other's recordings well enough. Really though, I can't believe this particular TC-K75 came out sounding like THAT. It wasn't supposed to be this good!
@@OklawolfDefinitely yes, aligning everything in the stable to one azimuth reference is good, I wish it worked with levels too. The older machines can be a big surprise sometimes, I wish they were as modular as the later ones though. I’ve enjoyed your walkabout videos quite a lot, these are all towns I could easily live in, but for the absence of mountains.

Oh, and I will be subscribing to your other channel. As a Nova Scotian who's never been out west, I really enjoy the walking / drone videos.
Wow Nice repair 👍

G'day fella. I am glad I am not the only one who makes up words and gets them all screwed up @ 9:01 when making youtube vidz
Good job.
Amazing how many electronic things like tape decks, TV's etc Sony has made since they've been in business.
Happy ending for the sony ❤
That's a lot of work. Nice job. Most would've left this to the scrap pile. Glad to see it renewed.

Curious that you didn't refinish the rusty reel motor housing?
The rust is only on the mu-metal outer case - doesn't really hurt anything to leave it alone. The motor did get some oil in the front bearing.
Nice job, lot's of work. Where do you get the WHS-300 or M-300 gauge nowadays?
I got mine from Willy Hermann, who has decided not to offer them anymore but still had one to sell me. Not sure where else a person can find one.
