Reel to Reel Tape Machines / technics rs-1500 maintenance help
« on: March 30, 2013, 06:29:59 AM »
Hi
I recently dug out my RS-1500 I got second hand in 1984. It was hardly used by the previous owner. I used it some but not extensively. It was stored in a rack mountable anvil like case so it's not gunky just dusty. I probably hadn't fire it up in some 20 years or more.
I took a chance and fired it up using a homemade variac type of device and brought it up to power slowly. I didn't hear anything explode so I may be ok for a bit although I would rather do some preventative maintenance before anything does go bad.
I believe I have a link to download a service manual but haven't printed it out yet.
Can someone recommend what preventative maintenance I should do.
I'm assuming open it up and check all the Caps especially in the power section
Any advice would be great.
This is my first post. I have been lurking since I recently broke out my echoplex again. It seems like every one is very helpful around here
Thanks in advance
