Reel to reel - Revox B77 - maintenance
With the pandemic, this is a good time to look at old stuff.. I want to work on my old Revox B77 - 2 track.
I have owned it since 1984 and have never looked inside it. Mine has probably less than 200 hours of use.
1. What are the maintenance items that should be done. Please help provide a list, clean heads, etc.
2. Are there some items i should purchase and install. Example belts etc.
3. Mine is regular speed 9.5 cm/s and 19 cm/s (7 1/2 inch/sec). It seems all new pre-recorded tape is 2 track 38 cm/s. Please share a source for purchasing pre-recorded tape.
