quence. Announcements may be inserted be-
tween selections, etc. Unused sections can be

DISASSEMBLY
ADJUSTMENTS
ln,proper Tracking of Tape Reels
Thefeed and take-up reel spindles are identieal.
They aremounted on aflanged sha.ft, and held in place
by Phillips head screws and flat washers. If the reel
spindles wear, to where thetape scrapes on thereels,
shim washerscan beadded betwtsen ttle,reel andflange
shaft until the reele are properly aligned. Always
depressthe play button whenever replacing the spindle,
in order to prevent damaging the cork brake lining.
Pressure Roller
Connect an inch-ounce seale to the end of pres-
sure rol,Ier lever asgembly (2a). PuU the pressure
PAGE 4
iblter free from the capstan. If the reading is less
than 16 inch-ounces, bend pressure roller spring (36)
to increage the pressure.
Take-up Tension
Plase an empty ?-inch reel on the take-up spin-
dle. Attach a short Ioop of string to the outside reel
edge. Connect a gram scale (with a minimum reading
of 60 grams) to the string. Hold the scale parallel to
therecorder andat rightangles to the take-upspindle.
Depress the Play button and note the reading. Itr it is
aboveor below60gramg, remove the mechanismfrom

BOTTOM V IIW OF MECHAN ISM
Removethe clutchpulley(TB). Ctuteh spring (?l)
and clutch lining (69) can now be slipped off falie-up
spindle shaft (65). If the reading was over 60 grams,
ihe felt should be saturated in a solution of one pari
No. 3l turbine oil and 15 parts carbon tetrachloride.
After saturation, allow the felt to dry for B0 minutes
before reassembling the clutch. If the reading w&s
Iess_ than 30 grams, replace the tension spring (?I)
and/or belt, as required.
Record-Play Head
1. Remove head cover (4).
CLTAN ING
TheRecord-play head anderase head, the pres-
sure pads, the pressure roller, and the capstan should
be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth and alcohol. As
the tape passes these parts, oxide is worn from the
tape and deposited on them. This oxide will cause
faint recordings and playback, poor erasure, and wow
if not removed.
Thread an alignment tape on the recorder.
Depress the play button.
Loosen the head mounting nuts, and move the
head up and down and back and forth until max-
imum output is obtained.
Hold the head in this position and tighten the
nuts.
LUBRI CATION
All bearings are of the oitite type. Therefore,
no further lubrication is necessary. When removing
levers tomake repairs onthe tape-transport mechan-
ism, use a clinging-type grease to lubricate these
parts where they slide in their slots or against each
other.
