The package includes: Device Only

The package doesn't include Cables, Software, Manual or other accessories.

Note: after parts are changed and mechanical is done (new issues may happen if cassettes are infected with sticky shed Syndrome and inserted in the unit) this is not covered under warranty Repair.

Head cleaning: isopropyl alcohol 99% not less. on cotton wipers 4"x 4" by hand "softly" ( do not use tape cleaner or swabs) you could damage the head, rotating head clockwise without stop until head  is cleaned. repeated head cleaning will shorten the service life of the video heads.

Many tapes affected by sticky-shed are those that were made by Ampex/Quantegy such as 406/407, 456/457, 499, and consumer/audiophile grade back coated tapes such as Grand Master and 20-20+.

Tapes made by Scotch/3M are also affected and the most common offenders here are the "pro" tapes such as 206/207, 226/227, 808, and 986 as well as audiophile tapes such as "Classic" and "Master-XS".

Damaged Tape

If your tapes are molded you cannot run them. Please examine your tapes before…see below.

 

Sticky-shed syndrome is a condition created by the deterioration of the binders in a magnetic tape, which hold the iron oxide magnetizable coating to its plastic carrier, or which hold the thinner back-coating on the outside of the tape. This deterioration renders the tape unusable. Some kinds of binder are known to break down over time, due to the absorption of moisture (hydrolysis).

The symptoms of this breakdown can be immediately obvious even when rewinding the tape: tearing sounds and sluggish behavior. If a tape with sticky-shed syndrome is played, the reels will make screeching or squeaking sounds, and the tape will leave dusty, rusty particles on the guides and heads. In some cases, particularly with digital tapes, the symptoms are more subtle, causing intermittent dropouts.
