FOSTEX R8. SUPER 8 TRACK RESCUE

Описание: Not powered up for many years, so I am not expecting anything from it at all this morning. Let's find out...

These machines suffer badly from cracked and brittle reel motor pulleys all these year later.

I want to make this machine run properly before I dispose of it, I intend to take it home over Christmas and sort it out.

This is a preview video of the initial inspection today to see what needs doing to it.

Many thanks to the people at the linked website for making such a great effort to document so much useful advice and technical help for all sorts of equipment.
