akai deck
Hi Y'all,
Here's a query for the collective mind. My Akai cr80dss just arrived from Israel. Other than the standard tape path cleaning and demagnetizing, what should I do to prep the deck for yeoman duty? I moved the rear switch to 60 hz (from 50 hz). Is there an internal power supply switch that needs to be reset for 120 volts? Thanks, ron |

Thanks, ron There's a plug on the back panel ( not internal) that has a cutout in one spot showing what it's set for - probably 220v. You need to pull out the plug and re-insert it so that "110" shows in the cutout. Happy trails, Larry B. |

The voltage selector switch was hidden by two plates. I wonder why it should be set to 110 instead of 120? Also, the belt is on the top rim of the drive pulleys. Should it be moved down to the bottom rim? Furthermore, there's a trim pot on the bottom of the deck labeled 50 hz-60hz. Is that a motor speed adjustment? Will I have to adjust that also? Thanks for helping me with these questions, Larry. later, ron |
