Hello! I just bought the above portable deck to use as a tape echo in my 'studio' and, as you will hopefully be able to hear in the video I'll post, it does a rather spiffing job. The two delay speeds I can get out of it are pretty good (if you use Voice Activation, it makes the delay time longer as there's a BBD chip in there - video is non-VA) but it would obviously be IDEAL if the speed control present worked on Record as well as Play. I'm assuming it doesn't because that saved them having to put in variable bias or something? Aaaaaanyway, I'm normally reasonably happy to change mechanical parts etc on my decks but my electrical knowledge is somewhat lacking...so could someone therefore tell me what I might have to do to bring the speed control onto the Record mode too? I can solder and all that...I just need to know what to solder where! The service manual with schematics can be found here...
