Good morning Yann,
Thank you very much for your patience and answer. That sheds light on what I know. I checked it with my head phones and it is as you said. If I just press the L button, it’s double mono. If I just press R I have the muffled signal on both channels.

So it seems that the sound head is not working correctly and I have to find a way how to solve it …

Thanks again for your support – really appreciate it!

Best wishes to France

Hi Yann,

I cleaned the head with the alcohol and it came of some dirt (see picture). Unfortunately the procedure didn´t help in terms of my issue with recording and playing the right channel properly. It still sounds dull.

I am not an expert with reel machines. Why do I have to press the R and L button? I can hear the music on both channels even if  I do not push the two buttons. But may be no Stereo? Do you know?

Best
Jens

Hi YannChris,

and thank you very much for your immediate reply and your very helpful attachments.
I’ll have a look at the manual and I’ll try to get your WAV file somehow on tape to check the channels.

Concerning the heads: I have Isopropyl alcohol 70% – will this do the job?
Which one of the heads is the one for playing – I assume the right silver one (pls see picture)?
Did I understand right – apart from contamination the heads can also break mechanically/electronically?

Again – thanks for your help!!

Hi MrRoast,

I made myself a wall bracket from a small alloy profile – you can find the dimensions on the photo below.
