In Reply to: anyone had any mods done to their tapedeck?? posted by hdkatt on June 25, 2004 at 21:03:44:
Yes. I didn't do any of the mods myself, Paul at Tube Research did them all along with his machinist. I'll tell you the mods to one of the Scullys:They started with a Scully 270 which is a large chassis playback only machine which will play the large 14 inch reels. First, everything was removed from the deck plate and a special 3/8 inch thick aluminum panel was machined to replace the original. The Scully SP-14 has a 3/8 inch deck plate. Next Paul suggested new drive motors and capstan motor, which he'd found through a friend at Skywalker Sound. This guy also had the rare factory flywheels which mount on the bottom of the drive and capstan motors for added speed stability and the parts to convert my machine to playback my 30 IPS masters.
All internal signal path wire is FIM Cable, I have a dozen different head stack mounting blocks which can be changed within a few minutes because different heads sound better with different reels (head spacing, etc.). He pretty much rebuilt the entire mechanical and scrapped the original Scully circuit and built his for me.
My previous deck was an ATR Services ATR-102.
