Are you trying to make certain I remain celibate for the remainder of my days!!!!:lol::lol::lol:

Just thought I would update my old system thread to add a couple of changes
The most recent one is the Resurrection of an old Tascam 122 mk2 Cassette deck and thats sounding quite lovely and I am enjoying it very much, just needed a re cap on the capstan motor control board and a new set of idler tyres, I bought a calibration tape from ANT and that has helped my be able to check through the calibration
The latest and my favorite addition to my R2R collection is the studer A810 which I have spent quite a bit of time on last year recapping all the electrolytics, little blue Phillips, little red roderstines and the dreaded Rifas all power supply caps and motor run caps as well as substituting all Op amps for LM4562. new bearings in the reel table motors
I am very pleased with it and I am now confident its not going to fail due to a dodgy old cap.

Had my eye out for one of those 122's for a while.... Lovely decks

I really like the deck and it has great sound quality for Cassette.
One major attraction for me was balanced XLR in/out as well as RCA. I also has an external record Bias fine tuning for individual cassette types.
Also VU meters do it for me :D
