This is what 'determination and devotion' for a beloved hobby. I just got myself a Nakamichi DR3, and it is working but one day I will need to change the orange cap and belts, and your video gives me the courage. Very well done..

Thank you sir for your extremely useful video. I bought an LX-5 of craigslist that needed work. I replaced the belts and cleaned it up. I watched this video at least a 1/2 dozen before and during the operation :) thanks!

Dammmmm What an Ass kicking that was. Great Job with the video and Man you have the patience of a Saint. I will have to take a deep breath to work on mine but If I can reach out to you if I run into issues I would appreciate it. Id like to get the link for the parts as well. Thanks again for the extreme break down and the pit falls of this repair. I really cant wait to get after mine I will update you on the results.

Fantastic Video - I both subscribed to your channel and bought an LX-3 needing a belt change and recap. i've long wanted to learn how to change belts and recap my older audio pieces but lacked confidence to start tearing into gear without guidance. Your video is well presented and clearly directed to hobbiest like myself that are drawn to unique vintage audio pieces like the LX3. Would I be able to contact you directly regarding the kits (belt and caps) you bought and, if I get stuck, to field a question or two. Based on seeing your video I'm excited to get started on my LX3!!!

I just got through re-caping my LX-3. I did not find any of the removed capacitors to be defective or out of tolerance. However, the two in the Record Level Circuit (C130 & C230) were 820pf and not 680pf as the schematic shows. Was there a service bulletin which changed this values?

Ok so where are you guys getting quality cassettes these days? Man I miss the 3 head CR3A I had🙄
@navydiving9 ай бұрын
All the usual places. FB Marketplace (Not so much), Craigslist, Kijiji, Varagesale, UsedVictoria dot com, etc. Essentially all the free for sale sights - never underestimate word of mouth either. People know I collect cassettes so some have fallen into my lap. I now have enough tapes I figure to last me for a long long time. Unlike others though who keep them wrapped in factory plastic, it is my intention to use mine. I can't think of anything more idiotic than people collecting NOS blank tapes and not using them. You ain't going to get rich off them so why bother?

What tool or technique do you use to remove the very small C-clips off the transport mechanism without damaging the very brittle plastic, especially on the cassette door damper shaft?

Been a while since I did this one so I don't recall specifically. I usually use a needle nose plier or a circlip removal tool (if they have two holes on them)

Will the orange caps ever affect the playback circuit?? .. mine has static in the recording circuit only

Hey, Im also a boater, keep my sailboat in false creek. I'm working on my LX-3 and "also" got the 4th belt :(. My question though is, you put heat shrink on the idler drive pully, I had not seen that requirment anywhere and it does not look like any rubber was there from the factory. Can you advise?

We are planning to go to false creek sometime this summer. Looking for a good recommendation for a marina to berth at for our newly purchased Bayliner 3988. I have a daughter living in West Van. Don't recall putting shrink wrap anywhere on the LX-3. Can you point to what time in the video I show this? Tim kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iquqf92dxpfacYE.html
