Athan Corp.

Does Athan Corp do total mechanical and tape path rebuild on a Studer A810? Or do they only do the motors?

AFAIK, just motors and bearings.

Thanks. I am going to send them the Capstan motor to do a full rebuild. Do you think it's worth rebuilding the reel motors too on the A810?

 

[Bruce B]

I had all 3 in my A80 machines done

 

[sunan]

Nice, do you know what type of service that was done to your reel motors? I mean replace ball bearings if they have them? what else?

 

[Bruce B]

I know the bearings. Maybe brushes as well? Beyond that, I have not a clue. I just know they are dead quiet now and work flawlessly.

 

[sunan]

Thanks for the info. I am going to send them mine.

 

[Bruce B]

Just pack the well. I had a friend send his motors to Athan and they were damaged somewhere along the way. After that, it was about a year when the machine was back running!!

Oh ok.Double box and wrap the motor around bubble wrap?
