The Japanese soon copied this good idea. Over time most capstan shafts become very shiny with this surface less able to provide the correct grip on the tape thus increasing wow and flutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Revox Studer introduced the dulled shafts they indicated in a service bulletin that this allows lower pinch roller pressure with improvements in tape wander and thus wow and flutter but also less tape wear. To give you an idea of the significance of this, early machines had pinch roller pressure of 1.2 - 1.5 KgF whilst later machines this was reduced this to 0.8 KgF.  Early machines you are able to adjust this but on later machines like the A810 it is essentially not adjustable or within a very narrow range. Thus, it is really important on later machines to restore the capstan surface.  In the factory tech bulletin they also suggest that all early shafts would benefit from the same reconditioning process. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have teamed up with a retired ex Studer engineer who has the machinery and know-how to recondition shafts. At one time in his apprenticeship he actually worked in the capstan shaft conditioning shop. I now insist all machines that come through our workshop have their shafts reconditioned.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan your shaft be reconditioned?\u003c\/strong\u003e As long as there is no obvious mechanical degradation like grooves or ridges, most capstan shafts can be reconditioned. We can recondition any capstan shaft fitted to Studer and Revox machines including the old 36 series (G36 etc). The process does not involve grinding, or abrasion but more akin to fine controlled bead blasting which does not 'remove' metal per say but rather 'melds' the metal surface without significantly altering its dimensions. This can be done between 5 - 10 times.  You simply send us your capstan shaft and when we have collected 5 or more they are done as a batch to keep setup costs down. An instruction sheet how to dismantle, prepare and send includes a self-assessment of whether the shaft can be reconditioned can be downloaded below. When we send the shaft back it includes a small amount of appropriate lubricant sufficient for 1 motor plus 2 or 3 service application in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese machines \u003c\/strong\u003e for each type of shaft a special jig has to be made up. We have 2 jigs for two shaft systems Japanese shafts.  Otari - where the shaft cannot be separated from the special magnetic rotor - see picture in gallery.  Teac \/ Tascam where the shaft is part of  a separate flywheel assembly eg 32, 34 etc - see picture in gallery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStuder A80, A80VU and A800 1 and 2\".  \u003c\/strong\u003eMost large format A80\/A800 models you are unable to take the shaft out.

Usually for Studer and Revox, we wait until we have 5 shafts or more so as to keep costs down as there is a setup fee we are charged. This means the waiting period may be 3 - 6 weeks.  If you require an express service (usually \u0026lt;2 weeks) we will need to charge the setup fee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this stage we cant do others unless you can give us a batch of at least 10 and then its justified for us to build a jig . \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor electronically commutated motors C270, A807, A820 \u003c\/strong\u003e fitted to later machines - these are a little more complicated in that a number of different bearing and lubrication systems \/ types were used.  Some have two roller bearings and these should be replaced at the same time.

In addition there is confusing and poor quality historical literature on the OEM and kit versions as well as valve replacements and operational configurations (ultra linear and triode).  We spent a lot of time and effort to try and understand what needed replacing and deciphering the confusing literature, hearsay and innuendo.  We were so impressed with the results and subsequent performance of this amplifier that we decided to offer a restoration \/ overhaul kit and of course the benefit of our research and 'figuring out' what makes this amplifier really tick. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe large can capacitors.  \u003c\/strong\u003eThese amplifiers have some pretty unique and different electrolytic can type capacitors necessitating us having to make them in house.

However there were poor attempts to reconfigure the amplifier for ultra linear operation, some browned resistors and a few non standard hacks. We soon realised that besides the electrolytic capacitors there were about 10 other components that had severely deteriorated and needed replacing. Further, once we got the amplifiers working we found intermittent random noise was generated by the B9A PCB valve bases due to contacts being corroded and some of the soldering deteriorated. After measuring a few of the other heat prone resistors and non polar capacitors we came to the conclusion that for a rather minimal extra amount in $ one can and should replace all the likely vulnerable resistors, capacitors and valve bases.

If you research the history of pinch rollers, Studer tried many different formulations, bush systems and profiles. Originally profiles were  wide, flat and pinch rollers harder. Then they tried reducing the edge conflict by reducing width and profiling with a slight convex shape and softer ADP formulations so pressure was concentrated in the centre. The problem with this is that it is difficult to align the tape exactly at the peak of the convex profile. Then they went back to a flat profile and a harder formulation.  No doubt if Studer had continued we would have seen other trials and tribulations. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGE. How old is that 'new' pinch roller you bought? There are a mere handful of pinch roller manufacturers in the world . Some cling to old dated designs and profiles. Others believe they will make a fortune by making them as cheap as possible. Cheap Chinese I believe are available. A bigger problem is many vendors acquire over the years NOS stock of pinch rollers at a bargain price.  Here is our answer to a very misguided supposition by most people. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  The condition of your motor shaft is paramount.  A shiny shaft matching the tape profile is an indication the shaft has done a lot of hours work and will not grip the tape effectively resulting in an increase wow. The shaft should be a dull grey colour.  Shafts can be reconditioned and the dull grey restored using a special micro bead blasting technique. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The tape tension is also important because the PR \/ capstan is a regulating system not a driving system. This is controlled rudimentarily in early and most Revox machines with back tension fixed but in later and Studer machines it is measured and controlled dynamically and can be precisely set \/ calibrated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth formulations used in our pinch rollers are carefully determined and controlled so as to maintain surface contact rigidity and minimise wow and flutter over their lifetime.
