[QuadList] Restoring an RCA TR-600

[John Walko]

Don:

 

Yes.this is what we did.  Basically when the machine powered up, we already
had vacuum (without a tape threaded).  I wasn't sure if the vacuum was with,
or without the tape loaded.


We'll try adjusting it after loading a tape (I did try this a little, but
wasn't able to get the vacuum to move.but then again, I didn't go that far
with the adjustment knob.)

 

Thanks;

 

John

Hi John:

 

I'll leave most of this to those who are familiar with the 600, but
regarding #3 below, NO!  You apparently tried to set vacuum without the tape
loaded.  The proper vacuum setting is with the tape in the guide, so you
have way too much vacuum as it is now set.

3.       When the machine is threaded and the tape properly seated, the
vacuum goes off the dial.  I assume this is normal (sort of like putting
your hand over the suction end of a vacuum cleaner).  Is this correct?
