Default aligning revox pr99 without manual


In article writes:

1) i need to align my pr99mkIII very soon for a mix session. recently
had the heads relapped, got an alignment tape . . .

2) i'm having quite a hard time finding a manual for a revox pr99mkIII


the question:

what information will i need from the manual? can anyone supply this
info?


Generally alignment procedures are pretty much the same for any
machine. What you'll need the manual for is to locate the adjustment
points for playback level and equalization (if any), bias, record
equalization, record level, and meter calibration.

If you open the case and find a diagram or the controls are marked,
forget the manual. Just find a generic alignment procedure somewhere,
hook up your oscillator and voltmeter, and go. You've got those, of
course?
