There is also a Service Manaual on " HiFi Engine for the Nakamichi RX 202, but I can't upload this because the file is 8 MB in size.

usnret70-90 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I always gave my cassette decks and reel to reels a thorough cleaning prior to recording, plus I also used a demagnetizer. You have to be careful with the alcohol and store bought head cleaners because they tend to dissolve pinch rollers, belts etc., over time. Use it very sparingly but use enough to clean the heads and capstans thoroughly. Pull the input knob off and make sure the shaft and knob are set correctly. Some knobs are held in place by a set screw and could have been changed when those techs had it. Never know Just sayin'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 the 202 has slides, no knobs. Thanks though Made a test recording today after cleaning the heads and setting the EQ to recommended settings for the tape used it seems to have worked. I dont plan to make tapes really only want to use for playback. But when I buy something that was serviced I like to check all functions. Happy it is working properly now. I appreciate all the help, suggestions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
