ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS
1. Clean the following parts with a denatured-alcohol-moistened
swab:
playback head pinch roller
rubber belt capstan
idler
2. Demagnetize the playback head with a head demagnetizer.
3. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.
4. The adjustments should be performed with the power supply
voltage (14.4 V) unless otherwise noted.
