Spend my Sunday tearing into this old #Teac A4070G #reel2reel
Sentiment is that this model is quite complex so I hope I can get it working again. So far, I've spent most of my time chasing screws that I dropped into the amplifier section. Got them all out, cleaned all the controls and connectors while in there. Got the new belts on, just waiting on a new fuse to see if it will power up, or release the #magicsmoke
This is what was left of the capstan belt. It pretty much just turned to dust. I lightly buffed the capstan and flywheel before putting the new belt in.
Heads are all clean and appear in good shape, hope to try powering it up this evening.
