International Power Supply with 110/125/220/240 VAC 50/60 Hz Selectable
Nice Condition!
This reel to reel deck has been Professionally Serviced by Crossed Paths Vintage. This is a wonderful unit in nice cosmetic condition and in full working order. It's an excellent choice for a vintage or modern stereo setup. This unit has been thoroughly tested in all modes and works wonderfully.
Final testing was performed to confirm that the playback in both 2T and 4T, record in 4T, fast forward, rewind and tape counter functions all operate properly. All displays and indicators work properly as well. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this listing for 23 additional detailed pictures that show just how nice the unit is including a close up shot of the polished heads which are in very good condition.
This reel to reel works in 3 ¾, 7 ½ and 15 inch per second speeds. This excellent, 10.5" Technics RS-1500 has such a beautiful design that rivals most all other decks. It's arguably one of the best looking large size reel to reels that Technics ever made.
This unit has been thoroughly cleaned inside and out as well as the internal controls have been professionally cleaned and properly lubricated to ensure excellent performance. All pots have been professionally cleaned and lubricated as well. All capacitors, transistors and resistors have been verified to be in spec and were replaced as needed. We use a stricter 5% tolerance when checking all parts to ensure a long future for your "new" vintage purchase. Most specifications allow for a +- 20% discrepancy and we use +- 5%. All solder joints have been checked for cold joints under magnification and reflowed where necessary including the high heat areas that notoriously fail if not maintained and serviced.
We use Nichicon High Temp Electrolytic Capacitors (UPW, UKL, etc), Nichicon Muse Capacitors, Elna Silmic II Capacitors, Panasonic Electrolytic and Film Capacitors, WIMA Stacked Film Capacitors as well as Zetex, OnSemi and Fairchild semiconductors and Xicon 1% metal film resistors when needed. Bourns Multi-Turn and Sealed Variable Resistors (Potentiometers) are used for critical amp adjustment points. Omron Audio Grade Relays are used in the protection circuits. Most consider these the best choices for vintage restorations and we always upgrade the voltage and temperature minimums on capacitors when appropriate to provide even longer service than the originals. This unit is ready to go! This one owner unit came in working well, but we thoroughly go through the unit to ensure its longevity.
All knobs, switches, faceplates, meters, covers, internal chassis, input connections, heads and rollers were detailed, deep polished, demagnetized and ultrasonically cleaned where appropriate. This cleaning process alone takes 4 to 5 hours with the complete dismantling of the unit. The heads are in very nice condition as can be seen in the detailed pictures.
All belts were serviced while the unit was restored and all the associated lubrication points were cleaned and properly re-lubed. All service manual calibrations have been performed throughout the unit and they are spot on.
This unit comes in nice cosmetic condition with minimal wear and tear for a unit this age as shown in the pictures. Two things to note are the right hand reel table retainer clamp has a small amount of the plastic gone but this does not affect its functionality at all and the small 2t/4t switch on the RP-2422 head stack is missing the little knob cover. The switch is still fully functional as well and it can be easily switched with a small screwdriver or similar. This unit was not abused by the original owner and comes from a non-smoking home.
