Hi
I am in Malaysia (located in South East Asia). I have recapped the entire machine about 2 years ago except the large power supply fllter caps. I was unable to source the exact type( with a bolt underneath for mounting). I would look around again to replace them, maybe that is the probable...
Hi
I am having a problem with my Studer A807. When I press "play", the pinch roller engages but disengages after 1 or 2 seconds. At times it engages and plays for a while and then it disengages and stops. After checking, I realise that the pinch roller engages but the capstan is not turning. At...

Hi
I am having this problem with my Revox. When I start play, at the beginning, there is no problem and it plays as normal. After about 40 mins, there is a slight drag. The take up motor gets very hot and there is no torque. If I place my finger on the motor, just lightly it slows down and it...
Hi
I am having a problem with my revox B77 while recording. If I playback a pre recorded tape, it sound clean and noise free. If I make a new recording and play it back, at the beginning both sides sound clean and noise free. After about 30 mins, one side starts to have some noise(frying sound)...
Today, I took the readings at Test Pt2(Tacho). There is a 7.5V DC reading. When I switch ON the recorder, my digital multimeter shows a reading of around 75 Hz. When I press play, the reading goes up to around 7.2 to 7.5KHz and more at times. Even though I select different speeds, the frequency...
Hi
I am having a problem with my studer. When I press play, the recorder does play, but the take up motor (right hand side) moves slower than the supply motor (left hand side). What happens is that the excess tape from the left reel gets stuck into the reel. It looks like both the motors are...
Hi
Earlier I had a problem of unable to record at 15ips with this recorder. I rectified the problem with the guidance from the forum. The problem was the bias setting was at zero for 15ips. After that it was recording OK all this while until recently. Now when I record, both channel start...
Hi
I have been doing recordings on my A807 at 7.5ips all this while. Now I tried recording at 15ips, but it is not recording at all. I have set to "Record Ready", pressed the "input" and "line on" buttons but the VU meters do not show of any input signal present. Does this machine need to the...
Hi
I have an old Studer A807. The record head is 1.318. and has badly worn out and I intend to replace it with a 1.317. which a friend gave me. I came to know that to replace a 1.318 record head with a 1.317, certain modification has to be done. What I realise is this : According to the...
Hi
There is another thing I noticed. I set my DMM on TP2 and TP3 to monitor the erase head voltage while recording. Also I select the "Repro" switch while recording, to monitor the output thru my amp. When I start the recording, the voltage goes up to approx 7.3V and then settles at approx...
Dear Charles,
I badly need your assistance as I am struggling with this problem for almost a month. This recorder belongs to a very close friend of mine. Originally it had a problem with both channels, poor recording level and muffle sound. I told him that I work on amplifiers only but he...
