New Member TEAC 3340 Reel to Reel
Hello
I'm considering having the TEAC 3340 reel to reel deck I've owned since new repaired. Does anyone know if an oscillator board is available. I'm located 15 miles outside Philadelphia but haven't found any techs near me. Thanks in advance. Micket |

I'm located 15 miles outside Philadelphia but haven't found any techs near me. Thanks in advance. 1. Check the heads. If the heads look okay and the gaps have not opened up, fix it. If the heads are bad it's not worth the investment. 2. Replace the capstan belt and the pinch roller. You might as well replace the round belt for the tape counter as well, not that the tape counter was ever useful, but it's only a couple bucks. 3. Replace every damn electrolytic in the whole thing before doing anything else. Don't even think of doing any diagnosis until you have replaced them all. You are wasting time if you do not do this. 4. Check for cold solder joints. Most of what goes wrong with these machines other than electrolytics are the result of poor wave soldering from early wave soldering technology. If it looks bad, reflow it. 5. Why would you replace the bias oscillator board? Is it missing or physically damaged? If it is cracked it can be patched. 6. Follow the lubrication directions in the manual and clean everything up in the tape path before applying power to anything. Do not hire a tech who is not willing to do this in this order. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Anyone who wants it for the price of shipping from Los Angeles is welcome to it. Local pickup would do me a great favor! ~ Roy Roy, Having a donor deck would be great but I can't image shipping it across the country. It might bring you some cash to advertise it locally on Craigslist. Thanks for responding and good luck.

The owner has no 1/4 inch tape and nor do I. I warned him old tape will gum the heads over and over. He has no use for the machine, just would like it going. No thank you. ...... Phil |

It's not anything super exciting but it's entirely serviceable. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
