Keeping your tape recorder in top-form requires more than just cleaning the heads. These electro-mechanical devices need service and adjustment to give you the audio quality they are capable of: From the audio alignment to match the tape to the machine, to the mechanical alignment to make sure it handles that tape as it should.

In this 90 minute webinar Iain Betson of Reel Resilience plus his guest will cover:

Audio alignment tools: Test tapes, 'scopes, tone generators and measuring kit
Mechanical alignment tools: For the brakes, speeds, tape tension and pinch roller
Where to source the specialist items
Making your own test kit

There will be a Q& A session during the webinar and questions can be sent in advance to ResilienceWebinars@gmail.com

Date: Saturday 6th July 2024. Time: 15:00 GMT
