AIWA 3 Head Tape Deck Repair (AD-FF90 / AD-F990)

UPDATE: So I’m running a 3-part LIVE workshop that takes us on… A Time Travel Through Vintage Electronics. We’ll rewind the clock, dive into the tech of the times… (and study the very history of how things were broken and repaired has evolved) The workshop is coming soon, but if you're reading this then you're in luck (or not)... And there's still time for you to sign up using the link below: https://www.menditmark.com/mend-mark-workshop The workshop dates are mentioned in the link above too. --- Mark repairs a 1982 vintage AIWA cassette deck. This is the Japanese market AD-FF90, (identical to the AD-F990?). Its a very high end machine for the time, but has broken down in multiple ways. Has Mark bitten off more than he can chew? Short answer is, yes!
