Any suggestions for a repairer in Sydney as have 2 devices to fix:

 

Luxman K-111 cassette player

  • powers on
  • has a new belt
  • motor runs but no sound/no activity on digital VU meters
  • can't see any signs of components burnt out/internals look really clean

 

Toshiba KT-V670 portable player

  • powers on
  • play button stays in place but no tape rotation
  • ffwd and rev also stay in place but no tape rotation
  • could the plastic gear/cogs have disintegrated ?

Take it to Chris @ Kimil Electronics
220 Georges River Road, Croydon Park New South Wales 2133
(02) 9799 3019
Highly skilled (many of the high end store send equipment to him for repair),
and his costs are very reasoable. If it can be fixed, he can fix it.   

A deposit of $50 is required for assessment and quote, that comes off the price of the repair.
Open Tuesday to Friday.

Just recently bought a stack of Luxman gear.  At the last minute they included said cassette deck (with another ) stating it was chewing up tapes. Said I could take it and bin it if I wanted to. Looks to have been worked on.

Who should I have a look at it please and give me a honest price if it is repairable?    The missus has a few tapes laying around and I would get this unit fixed for her.

I am situated in the north east Green Wedge area.

TIA

They did not get back to me on my enquiry so I don't think they do.

Electronics are beyond him.  Repaired fairly well a turntable but.  Seems to be his specialty.

Considering a guy called Jorge, but at $155 for the 1st hour  🤔.........

As I said earlier I know a savant with tape decks he will fix it in record time if you are willing to send it to him or me I will get to him and return it to you in person . It will be around $100 plus say $15 delivery . PM if you are interested he fixed a Yamaha K2000   Denon DRM-740 and a Tascam 122mkii and a Luxman K113 within 2 weeks .

Yes the fast motor might be an adjustment but sometimes it can be the polyester cap that controls the motor . Anyway yes he does the only hold up would be the wait on parts whether they are belts or Mouser , Element 14 getting the caps or variable resistor out . I'm in Drouin p.m perhaps we can meet half way. 

I was brought up in Greensborough I thought that was ironic

Looking for any leads on a reliable technician to test and service a Technics RS-1500 reel to reel please. 

Melbourne area preferred but willing to ship to any location for the best person.

Hi Everyone,

 

I have an aging Nakamichi RX202, love the way it rotates (flip) the cassette instead of rotating the head for auto reverse.

The deck stops working a few weeks ago ie the cassette won't spin.

I am wondering if anyone can advice how to fix this or can recommend someone who can. I am based in Perth, Western Australia.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Nicky

hi @zippy2000 maybe flick an email to Jason, The Turntable Doctor, to ask if he deals with Nak https://turntable-doctor.com/Details.html

Thanks 2Brix, I checked out their website, seems they are into turntable servicing only. I might open up the Naka this weekend, probably loose belt since the unit is over 20 years old.

 

cheers,

 

Nicky
