MECHANISM

NOTE:

Be

sure

that

the

power

is

turned

off

prior

to

making

any

ad-

justments

to

the

brakes.

1.

Screw(A)

for

the

left

brake

(as

viewed

from

the

front)

must

be

adjusted

so

that

there

is

a

clearance

of

1

mm

between

lever(C)

and

lever(E).

Screw(A)

for

the

right

brake

must

then

be

adjusted

so

that

lever(B)

is

parallel

to

lever(C).

2.

Push

the

plunger

until

there

is

contact

at

(a);

i.e.,

until

the

clear-

ance

has

been

eliminated,

but

make

sure

that

the

plunger

is

not

pushed

so

strongly

that

the

levers

(E),

(C),

and

(B)

are

deflected

—

they

must

remain

in

a

horizontal

plane.

3.

Position

the

solenoid

housing,

while

the

plunger

is

pushed

as

des-

cribed

in

step

#2

above,

so

that

the

gap

at

(f)

(the

distance

be-

tween

the

leftmost

edge

of

the

plunger

and

the

leftmost

edge

of

the

solenoid

housing)

is

between

11

to

12

mm.

When

the

solenoid

housing

is

so

positioned,

the

plunger

should

be

able

to

be

de-

flected

between

1

to

2

mm

when

pushed

strongly.

The

Follow

2

for

each

condition;

i.e.,

(A)

through

.

If

of

the

(reference

(D)

in

for

the

corresponding

If,

after

the

has

been

properly

adjusted

and

the

reverse-

is

not

correct,

or

the

forward-direction

is

still

not

correct,

check

to

see

if

the

is

worn,

and

also

check

that

the

brake

mechanism

is

properly

aligned

as

ex-

plained

PROCEDURE

1.

By

so

that

the

proper

obtained

for

each.

2.

Coarse-adjust

the

heads

by

observing

threaded.

.

Load

a

and

play

it.

4.

The

head

core

should

protrude

0.1

above

the

tape

while

in

motion.

If

not,

readjust

the

azimuth

and

recheck

the

Adjust

as

necessary.

5.

Fine-adjust

the

height

of

the

record

and

heads

until

the

brass-colored

spacers

appear

above

the

moving

tape.

(The
