i somewhat remember the r2r in the house when i was a kid. it gave way at some point to an 8-track player (sad!)
just wondering how the average home user back in the day dealt with all the mechanical and electrical calibrations discussed here that are required for quality playback? if i had to guess, if they did anything it was maybe clean the heads infrequently and then just take it in for servicing if/when things got bad.
anyway, long way of saying / asking that its seems like these issues make r2r a technical challenge for users without the necessary tools or experience?
i am curious what current r2r users here are doing for these regular maintenence proceedures?
