Electronics and electrical. Micro, Macro. Can never know enough. Will never know enough. Terms, tech.
We are all 'wired' different skill wise, speed, adjusting to need, want, feasibility, time, and money variables.
Take people who seriously understand electronics/electrical. Many levels and types of tech skills unlike home gardening.
Cannot easily crossover, not interested, or as successful rebuilding engines or doing body work in great detail.
Amazing to look at the construction and thought under the hood of those cool looking heavy durable vintage analog stereo units.
Same deal as car players, boomboxes. Mechanistically not working right all the time or worse- the electric part.
Found new cassette player belts, maintenance tips, tape transport repair videos.
Can now rethink making, one of these years, a couple new and recopy worn music cassettes.
Use two recorders, connect to amp 1>2 and 2>1 tape copy switch. Go back to the 70's and make music cassettes.
Thing is, main recorder (Sony K7II, bought new, have box) needs something. Won't play a tape.
Found a store selling new fresh (not NOS) transport belts at normal prices. One listed as made like the factory belt.
Easy to get a new belt, compared to replacing one risking doing damage from lack of totally knowing what is what.
Did find a long video of someone restoring another exact model, including clearly how to take the tape drive assy out.
Took apart capstan, flywheel, boards, wire harness, screws, tiny springs, e-clips. No electrical repair: all mechanical.
Reading service manuals is a start. Watching the process goes much deeper to actually see what to and how to repair.
Did not know of JIS screwdrivers. Said to be the best gripping tip for electrical than regular, worn, and cheap tools.
For high torque screws used to assemble electronics parts and electrical. Tight grip no slop, no slip, not inexpensive.
