Whilst I am looking for a Technics Player/Recorder deck ultimately - I have found nearby a DCC900 which is apparently in VGC / full working order. Appreciating this is a Gen1 unit - other than the re-cap necessary per the link below:
Is there anything else I can expect to have issues with or that might stop me jumping into this unit until I can find my ideal one? I will have to use a step converter from 110 to local 240v (assuming too $ to actually convert over the unit itself). Here’s a pic of the rear of the unit.
Hi,
Maybe belts and pinch rollers are wise as well.
We have the original 220V transformer, that can be inserted by removing 4 screws and swapping the 100V for the 220V. We have done it several times.
Wow - that’s awesome. So would make sense (as a patreon) to order the 220v transformer, punch rolls, belts and caps all at once and have a service kit for a technician here in Australia to service for me?
Appreci the quick replies
Also - I am worried a little by the apparent corrosion on the lower rear panel screws (and pitting on the RCA outputs id you see the picture I attached), that tells me this has not been as well stored/looked after as the seller is suggesting. Would raise questions over wanting to inspect the internals by removing the lid/cover if this is observable on the rear!
