stereo5,
Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I did contact Revox in Germany. They seemed willing to sell me parts but, because of high shipping costs, suggested I call Pro Audio, LTD in Tower Lakes, IL. Pro Audio has been OK if I can get them to respond to my emails. I'd like to have an alternative source in the US if possible.
So far, I've found parts available on Ebay and Revox On-line but the parts still have to be imported from Europe at high shipping costs.
My mistake was letting these machines set unused for 30+ years! I'm thrilled with the revival of analog and RtoR tape. I plan to get both upgraded, sell one and use the other to record some of my vast collection of LPs.
Always enjoy talking with an avid A77 fan!!
