The CR-300 is a perfect match for the Pioneer SA amplifier series (e.g. SA-7500, SA-508, SA-608,…) out of the Blueline series. These units are getting harder and harder to find. We carried out a rather big service on this deck to get it as close as possible to operate at original spec:
- Replacement of Capstan Belt
- Replacement of Rewind/Fast Forward Belt
- Replacement of Idler Tyer
- Replacement of Pinch Roller
- Cleaning of heads and capstan
- Demagnetisation of heads and capstan
- Lubrication of capstan with high quality spindle oil
- Lubrication of Flywheel with lithium grease
- Speed Calibration
- Full Function Test
