Angel brought my 810 back after changing the power capacitors for me. It played sort of funky in terms of speed and Angel told me it was from being in his cold car. He should me how to play with the tension trimmers and said it should be fine after a few hours of play. He said that he'd put the power sitting at 140 to keep it from running so hot, but the Studer list was unanimous about turning it back to 120, which I did, and gave a few tips on playing with the trimmers. So I got out the manual, found the instructions for sitting tape tension, and did my measurements with the deck on its? back?Lo and behold, after a few minutes of play time in the upright position, my 810 is running perfectly!
For what its? worth, I also heard on the Studer list that as long as you use your 810 fairly frequently, it runs perfectly. Problem is when you put an 810 in storage for long periods. I think that means you have let it sort of ?warm? up for a few days to let it find itself again?sounds kinda organic to me?hmmm
