No new tapes as the ones already on board were fairly recent anyway.By the way, it was no ordinary EMI, as the guys had rebuilt, realigned, and generally made it something pretty special a few years back. Apparently there was still quite a bit of work to be done to make the EMI bits fit inside the standard cabinet, so it was not an easy job.Mention also for the fantastically light action that Martin has created. It has never played this well before.Cheers.Andy K

Looking good! Thanks for posting in the Members area. The earlier picture didn't show up in your message. Did you get any new tapes with it?

Stupendous job.Mike

Hey Andy-A lovely machine and rebuild. Kudos to Martin and company. I saw the later photos, looks like you have a brass capstan. Wonderful!I wonder how many of these 'trons will be around in 40 more years. What a legacy!-Bruce D.#1221

Brass capstans are generally better in roundness and runout. They also develop a light oxidisation which grabs the oxide face of the tape.Best,
Correct Bruce. Anyone here know the virtues or otherwise of a brass capstan?I would have thought it would not be as true as a chrome one, but maybe might drive slightly better?Hey, what do I know??Andy K
