Tape Tech / Help needed - R2R Transport test RS-1506
« on: February 28, 2009, 07:13:53 PM »
Howdy all.
Can anyone tell me if and how the transport functions of a Technics RS-1506 can be tested without having reels loaded on the deck?
I have a machine which I had refurbed a couple of years ago but never got around to setting it up for myself. I may wind up selling it and would like to be able to say that the transport is at least working. I can "trick" it into play, ff, and rev, but I don't know enough to say that things look, sound and feel as they should in operation.
Any help appreciated.
