Auto reverse tape deck

<< < (2/3) > >>

OldiesButGoodies:
Definitely - yes.  The head has to be aligned with the direction the tape plays.    In a really bad azimuth you can see that the head is out of alignment by eye,  but the true final adj has to done with a tape in. 

Anders:
pull off front of cassette door then there should be a hole for adjusting the head.
rotating heads are the worst design i've seen.

papabearjew:
When my head is misaligned I either go to the chiropractor or the urologist.

Slim-Shaddy:
So, is it worth diving into? The deck demands a decent amount on epay. I could sell it as is and get something else. I like it, but if it's going to be a huge headache, I'll get rid of it. There's no point in having an auto reverse deck if it only sounds good in one direction.

MacGeek:
It seems if the head rotates, there should be a way to get it adjusted to end up tracking close to the same each way.  If it holds over time and use is another matter.  I suggest a drop of nail polish on the adjustment screw once you get it set where you want it.
