SONY TC-FX220 cassette deck, record mechanism

Nov 27, 2009 8 Replies

Hi,



I recently found this deck in a skip and after a belt change ti works well. However, someone has been there before me and dismantled the leverages/ linkages which activate the rec-pb mode slider switch. I have one piece which was just randomly screwed onto the mech when I found it (see final pic) and I think this is the main problem - I need to reattach it properly.

There is a hooked linkage like that, same holes and angles in the exploded view of the TC FX330 - if nothing emerged by Sunday I'll scan it in

I have a TC-FX2 deck. Its mechanism is also "logic" driven, but is not DC servo controlled. The front looks quite different.

I can photograph the insides if you think it might help.

Might this help?

Yup, someone is also messing about. BTW the image came from this page.

Thanks to Adrian and Franc. I now have a rough idea from the rusian pic as to where the bracket which links the rec-pb switches to the deck itself should go. The firefox translator rmade a pretty good job of the site, it was a guy who modded his TC-FX220 and made a 'media centre'.

I'm not sure if there is a piece missing where that bracket connects, will try it now and see. I may yet take you up on your kind offer of a pic, Franc, if it does not work out....

Is there this number TCM-C90F30B on the deck anywhere? exploded views

Many thanks. this is the same mech. couldn't find a number though. I now have it assembled after a fashion, there is a brass spacer missing from mine where the bracket meets the deck mech, but using a slightly longer screw seemed to do it. I will test it a whiole and see.

thanks again for taking the time to scan that, much appreciated!
