Cassette Deck servicing/restoration in U.S.?


Anyone know who is still servicing vintage tape decks (and is recommended)?   Have a Harman Kardon CD-491, nothing wrong with it but has been in storage a long time.  Thanks, Jim

Bring it up to voltage slowly using variac or light bulb in series, unless you've already powered it up. I would use it for a month, then open and check for bad caps. By then you'll know if it truly needs service. Fine tape deck rivals some Naks and I'm a big Nak fan. PS. You should not have a problem finding an experienced tech to work on that deck, parts are still available, I have one too.
