8-track player tune up service
After receiving a big response from the tracking community as a whole
on serviced tape decks, I'm offering the 8-track deck tuneup to everyone in the world ! You'll notice all my 8-track players on ebay are cleaned, adjusted, tested, and playing. No "as is" auctions here. This service offers all the same work my ebay decks get, i.e.- Inside electronics sprayed with CRC QD cleaner ($10 a can)- exterior wiped down with mild cleaner and wood/front panel polished. Capstan resurfaced with cross hatch pattern so it grips tape, no dragging. Tape speed set dead on 3.75 IPS with timing tape. Head height/azimuth adjusted with technicians' alignment tape- minimal or zero crosstalk between songs/tracks after adjustment, and clear stereo separation effect. (but remember, a bootleg cart recorded off-track will ghost track on any player!) capstan/tape head/channel switch cleaned. belt checked/changed as needed motor checked/lubed as needed I will also re-attach tape heads to plastic head supports that have broken in the process- and have my own process that works quite well for that. I've run across many of these lately and have fixed all of them. The price for the service is $50 and that includes the shipping and insurance back to you, in the USA. Very large/heavy players will be more, due to their shipping weight. Overseas email first. I don't know how long I'll be offering this service, so if interested act now while the offer exists. If/when I get heavily backlogged, I won't be taking anymore for a while. There is a backlog already- first deck in is first deck out. You must pay the shipping to me first, to get the deck here. later ! t2-8t |

Whatever ANY of you folks out there do, please do not send your
equipment to Charlie (unless you really really do not like your equipment). Dan Jobin ) is the tech of this group, and he does a great job. Wipe it down Charlie...that is about all you are good for.

Dan, that shows what you know. I have a one-year course certification
in basic electronics, I went to school for it-in 1982. Besides, they aren't taking you seriously: Subj: Question for seller -- Item #3083239404 Date: 3/9/2004 9:01:58 AM Eastern Standard Time To: Hi Charlie, Sounds pretty fair. I'm in the Bronx, New York. The first machine is a Panasonic 803 or 805 I can't remember. I also have a Pioneer ( H65 ) ??? and a Fisher . I'll have to check the exact model #'s when I get home. Let's do the Panasonic first. I can pack it up this weekend. Just let me know where to send it. Thanks |

Date: 3/19/2004 8:08:55 AM Eastern Standard Time To: Thanks Charlie, Can't wait to hear how it sounds. As we discussed I don't have Paypal, so I will mail payment today to the same address I sent the deck to. As soon as I have it back in place I'll send the Pioneer (Centrex) |
