Hi Christopher,
Most of my machines are running 3-3/4 and 7-1/2 ips. I have lots and lots of recordings done in this speed through the years. I decided to convert my C270 from a 7-1/2 and 15ips to those speeds. Also from IEC equalization to NAB. Yes, I know I am swimming in the wrong direction but this machine stayed for 3 years unused as I do not have 2T recordings all mine are 4T so also I convert the heads to 4T (sent to John French for conversion). I believe at the end I will have a beautiful machine which I can use every day than a TAPE PROJECT machine which waits for me to purchase a TAPE PROJECT tape. Might be rolls royce but not practical to me. I still have some tape project machines.
However in the process of converting I notticed that some poeple worked on the CAPSTAN CONTROL board (blown trace, jumpers, etc) so I purchased a new one from IRINCO. Unfortunatly to get to the adjusting coils and pots of the capstan control board you have to drop the main board at 90DEG. Looks like I have to make some cables. Main board has 19 cables connected to it. I contacted Jack Clark but he replied that he has his own set which he manufactured.
So...I have to still look into this.
Thank you for your reply.
Best regards from down under,
Eugen
