Hi poobah,
All in all, I liked the B225. The other odd fault was the lens assy seemed to go wrong. It wouldn't read unless you corrected the spindle motor height, then it wouldn't play because the focus offset was way out. It would not surprise me to find we were purposely misinformed. Studer / Revox Canada decided it was in competition with it's own authorized service centers. How's that for interesting. I pushed on an obvious case of misinformation and that's what I was told by the Studer tech (Harmon International had bought them by this point). Dirty pool at the lowest level, thanks Sam!!

Well, yes and no. It depends on what's dead. They had a problem wit the flex cable to the drawer from the main board. If the 7V line had a short it could take out the laser diode. I believe the improved flex cable was a blueish colour. The old one was grey.

Choky,
No... I'm stupid. Thanks for the links, I can't find the downloads... links don't work or???
Anybody got service manual?
I'll say one thing for it... you could clean your driveway with a CD and that sucker would still play it...

Hi poobah,
Try http://www.revoxonline.ch/index-download.htm . It's not as clear as you would think. Select from the list, it's a *.zip file. Mine's downloading right now.

Edit: Choky, thanks for the links. 😉

warning-seems that is 83MB!!
I like this part with driveway cleaning
anatech-you are more than welcome ;
Hi poobah,
They seem to be operation manuals. Bah!
I'll hunt around.
-Chris
Edit: I do have a Studer A725 that may be the pro version. The servos will be the same if this is the case.

grrrrrr........
Well. I can get in there and just start poking around. I am not a good tech though... need schem

BINGO...
Ok... back to running out of pot.
HEY JACCO... could this be a group buy thing for us. You know... maybe send us some BIG capacitors???

It never occured to me Tantalum is a metal because of it's application in capacitors. Wikipedia cleared up the obvious for me, thanks for the head's up!
Chris, re: problems with Japanese reel-to-reels, one word: Scully.
Hi rdf,
So, do you like MCI, or Sony/MCI ?
How about the MCI console with the plasma meter bridge?
-Chris
I've rebuilt a couple. Just trying to source some of the older parts takes some time.

WHAT Abotu parralleling 2 types of resistors..
say a 20k caddock and 20k tantalum.. $2
instead of a $10 10K vishay??
I'm modding a couple of amps and I always notice a huge improvement when replacing any input signal resistors..
I usually use balanced transformers so I only need a straight 10K input impedence.

I don't know if paralleling has been tried. I suppose someone has tried it at some point. I wonder if that would cause some strange interaction.
I think I made a comment maybe many pages ago about Shinkoh tantalum resistors.
What I can say is I know my amps and possibly my preamp have them, and the sound is incredible. I know Gordon Rankin spent countless 1000s of hours auditioning parts for his products.
My equipment was built more than ten years ago, so he may have found something better by now.

if i look the all the post, what is favorite resistor
1. Rickens
2. dale & vishay dale
3. caddock
4. mills non inductive [ no one debate ]

what about holco?
if i look adverstisement in www.percyaudio.com
holco resistor
highly praised by Hi Fi News and RR, mfg. by ..... 😀
why holco not to be a star in here.
sould we tell percy audio about this
😀 😀 😀

bit of trivia.. holco means all copper, or only copper... which is what I think is supposed to be in them.
