erase head rubber belts
capstan idlers
2. Demagnetize the record/playback head with a head
demagnetizer. (Do not bring the head demagnetizer close to
the erase head.)
3. Do not use a magnetizer screwdriver for the adjustments.
4. After the adjustments, apply suitable locking compound to
the parts adjusted.
5. The adjustment should be perfomed with the reted power
supply voltage unless otherwise noted.
6. Power supply voltage: 6V dc.
