Hey Matt This is Kim . I keep running into to the problem with the cam gear not going up and down. I am trying to figure out what powers that cam gear. If I can find that out I can fix a bunch of my decks. Hope you are well. We are okay here in the mountains.

Hey Kim, I have a couple of GX 77s that need the same repair. Maybe we can get together some time and figure it out

Hi Matt this is Kim. I have an akai gx-77 tape deck i am working on. there is no signal coming in the right channel. if you have it flipped to source . also it will not record on the right channel either. Do you have any idea what it could be? Thank you, Kim by the way that is a beautiful machine you are checking out.

Hey Kim. How are things in the mountains? All good here. I had this problem on a 4000D last month. Turns out the input jack on the left channel had a bad connection on the board. I would start there.

@@5thcomm I checked that and its good. it sort of seems it the master record control is blocking the signal. I keep spraying it with contact cleaner and occasionally i see the right channel jump in . not sure if Im on to something or not. all good here in the mountains. I have plenty of work. This one has got me scratching my head. everything else is working great. it plays tapes perfect. the auto shutoff works every time. I noticed it when I went to test record and it was only recording on the left channel . then I flipped it to source and found out I only have signal coming in to the left channel.

@@stratokim Try re-soldering the connections on the master record control, sounds like an intermittent problem

Matt I will try that tomorrow . I have the face off of the controls so you have to remove the vu meter and the pinch rollers to get to all of that. but I will get it. The record control may be bad. But i have spare parts so I have one if it is bad . I will check for loose wires first. Thank you for getting back to me and I will let you know how it works out. Kim

Nice video! I have a silver GX-77 that will suddenly stop every so often. When the machine is turned back on it works again. Any idea what this might be? Thanks.

The thermistor on the syscon board it getting hot. It can be the plate that holds the flywheels in have an adjustment. If there is no play back and forth or in and out when you move the flywheels back and forth . that will cause what you are talking about.

Bigg Matt matt I tried this and it also has an adjustment for different types of tapes which I made sure it was correct. Cleaned the heads etc. I put the same reels on a different deck and it played fine. I did that just in case it was recorded incorrectly.could it be the belt ???
@5thcomm 4 жыл бұрын
@@SmoothCriminaltripleOG when you say it sounds like chipmunks, does that mean it plays too fast? With a bad belt, they usually play too slow or erratic. Does it record ok?

Bigg Matt I haven’t recorded yet because of the way it’s playing. But it seems like its playing too fast no matter what I do. Changed reels etc.
