Hey Bob!
I can mess with a soldering iron and some point to point wiring, but just getting one of these monsters apart is a bit much of a project for me. I know when to cry uncle. Found a good shop not far from my hometown in Jersey (by forum recomendation), so I'm going to take it up there next month. Cost has always been the barrier for me and R2R so I have decided to let a TapeProject friendly tech get the internal electronics up to snuff, give the mechanics the once over, replace the heads and give me a good set of RCA outs. This is still cheaper than a good outboard tape amp (which would give me a great rig, but no cash left for tape! HA!). So I should be up and running by the end of July. There have been a few other changes to the plan as well but I'll give you a call later this week and catch you up. Here is a hint..... I'm going back to Jolida. Tickles me that they used one of my quotes on the main page pertaining to the listening session we did at United Audio. Been here since ineption and still have not played a tape in my own home! ;-) We're getting there though.
