IF THIS VIDEO HELPED YOU OR WAS VERY INTERESTING AND YOU WANT TO SUPPORT MY WORK YOU CAN DO THIS BY SENDING ME A TIP VIA PAYPAL TO: [email protected]

In this video i have successfully repaired legendary Akai GX9 tapedeck transport. It is very nice deck with glass ferrite (GX) heads equipped.
This device have had bad belt, pinch rollers, idler tire part was messed up big time and also needed some love.
In video were showed how to change belt, idler tire replacement, pinch rollers replacement, tape path alignment and etc…
Things done of camera: back tension check and we got healthy 12g/cm, supply pinch roller pressure - 200g, take up pinch roller pressure - 390g.
Also azimuth, tape speed adjustment and W&F check.
As for all my repairs i use only quality passed components/parts: belts, idler tires, pinch rollers, springs, washers, etc...

There is also group on facebook for more discussions about walkmans, cassette decks and other audio:

If you have any questions regarding repair please contact me.
Cheers
P.S. don’t forget to remove and clean/relube pinch rollers brackets, because they are known to seize due to old grease drying :)
