but once the tape locks up, they remain pretty much centered. The one issue I
noticed is if the supply reel is full (just starting playback) and the take up
reel is empty, we have more tension issues. Spot reels are a lot easier to work
with. We are trying to match reel sizes as closely as possible…but are having
trouble because we don’t have a take up reel as large as a one-hour supply
reel. We will need to get one.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'>When adjusting reel (servo) tension according to the manual (it
tells you how to do it using the scope), the tension seemed way to tight. In
fact, the tension arms were almost against the stop. We backed off slightly
and are adjusting the tension to try to keep the arms centered between the two
stops.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

were running a 1-hour tape. The reel brakes need some adjustment, as the
mass of this reel was just too much for the brake to stop it by itself.
This also caused tension issues. But, switching to spot reels caused less
problems (we originally thoughts the brakes weren’t working at all…but it just
appears as if they need some adjustment).</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>the tension arms are not going into oscillation, and more or
less centered? that's an accomplishment, if I recall correctly, the TR600
was more sensitive to reel sizes than the Ampexes were.<o:p></o:p></p>
