ADJUSTMENT

OF

PINCH

WHEEL

It

is

important

that

the

pinch

wheel

shaft

be

kept

in

complete

alignment

with

the

capstan

shaft.

A

proper

pinch

wheel

pressure

is

between

1,000

and

1,150

grams

when

the

unit

is

operated

at

the

tape

speed

of

7-1/2

ips.

Any

deviation

from

this

specification

will

result

in

wow

and

flutter.

Check

pinch

wheel

pressure

using

a

spring

scale

and,

if

necessary,

adjust

the

pinch

TAKE-UP

IDLER

WEEERL

The

must

be

kept

in

complete

alignment

with

the

shaft.

When

the

unit

is

set

the

idler

wheel

will

contact

to

the

it

will

that

the

ment

with

the

rewind

shaft.

The

amount

of

pressure

to

it

will

contact

An

adequate

pressure

to

kept

is

50

grams.

Adjust

REEL

SHAFT

ASSEMBLY

A

felt

clutch

material

is

attached

to

the

bottom

side

of

the

reel

table

base

plate

so

that

recording

tape

will

not

be

siretched

during

fast

forwarding

operation

due

to

excessive

tension.

To

check

the

amount

of

friction

of

this

part,

place

onto

the

take-up

reel

table

a

5-inch

reel

with

recording

tape

wound

by

60

m/m

in

diameter,

and

gently

pull

the

end

of

tape

upward

using

a

spring

scale.

Adjust

the

conical

spring

so

that

the

amount

of

tension

at

this

part

will

be

kept

between

400

to

500

grams.

Another

felt

clutch

material

is

attached

to

the

take-up

drive

wheel.

Itis

used

to

provide

proper

slipping

opera-

tion

during

record

or

mode.

The

procedure

for

checking

friction

of

this

part

is

same

as

the

foregoing,

and

between

120

and

200

grams

of

friction

will

provide

the

bert

result.

Adjust

the

star-shaped

spring

immediate

below

the

take-up

drive

wheel.

When

the

unit

is

set

in

rewind

mode,

the

amount

of

friction

of

this

part

will

great:y

be

reduced

and

will

become

10

to

20

grams.

Check

to

see

if

this

is

satisfactory

and,

if

not,

readjust

the
