Haven't consusmed the Whole Thing yet, but I did note one important error, that cassette tapes are 1/16" wide, when everyone knows they're 1/8". But read it and be amazed.

  True, and the way he phrased it, one could take it either way. Maybe wrongly, I took it the other way. Whatever, it's one hell of an article.

    Heck!...the sound stage I get is much deeper and wider than that now after I got it back from a technician in California. He did an excellent job in restoring it by recapping the entire machine, replace the parts that needed to be replaced and recalibrate it.
    It looks like I'll be set for a long while before I think about buying another cassette deck.

      He's well known for his work with Nak's, but I wasn't aware that he worked with other units as well. He refurbed my ZX-7.

        This tech has an excellent reputations at Tapeheads.net and as far as I know he only restores Revox machines.
