I have the Extended Response Playback head installed now (thanks Greg), so waiting for Eros and Tape Path Mod kit. Once they have arrived, I will build the Eros and send deck out for Mod install and Clean Lube Adjust.
During CLA, what else should I have done to the deck? Obviously, install Mod Kit , head align and bias. Anything else?
Would it be beneficial (IYHO) to replace ERP head wires with new, better wires? I have some VH Audio double shielded wire and new female RCA jacks. I bought some VH silver coax wire to make cables from the Technics to the Eros and I ordered extra. I realize this means removal of capstan and flywheel. If tech is already in doing brakes, how many more hours to rewire?
I saw Docs photos of the easy way to wire the head to the OP jacks, just wondering if once someone is disassembling it, would this be worthwhile to rewire? I know this is subjective, but my view is in for a penny.....
I could do what Doc has outlined in 'Tapping the Headstack' myself. But that 70's wire looks.... old. Did Doc rewire the head when mods were done at Bottlehead?
Thanks!
