Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Revox PR99 Upgrades
« on: September 10, 2014, 06:47:03 AM »
While out on EBay, I saw a person from Australia advertising various upgrades for PR99, for example
1. Capacitor and preset pot upgrade kit
2. Tape Guide bearings + Pinch Roller
3. Motor upgrade kit for all 3 motors, seems to be new bearings and lube
I'm the original owner of a PR99, non professional over the years. I'm wondering if anyone has done this type of upgrade? I'm most curious about a cap upgrade, I've done that in the past with other vintage pieces of equipment plus some newer ones too.
Anyone have experience or comments on something like this?
