Hi out there
I need your help to check/adjust the tape path of my A80 and especially the play tension with an SM900 tape.
Tools I have for the specific job:
1. Spring scale 0-500grs
2. Tentelometer T2-H2-UM (0-600grs/0-21ounces)
According the Service Manual of the A80 RC:
1. Using the spring scale and pulling a ~3m tape on a NAB left reel, you must reed 100gr on the scale. I don't like this procedure,big margin of error I think.
2. Having the above Tentelometer,properly calibrated, where exactly I must position the tentelometer to reed/check the 50p according again the Manual?(by the way 50p is 50grs?? Yes??)
It is Ok position it between erase and record head? If not where?
3.The proper tension depends from the amount of tape in the left/right reels? Equal amount left/right of a 1100m SM900 is ok??
Thanks in advance
George
