Just stated to putz with my first deck, a KX 1030 in near mint
condition cosmetically that the local expert tuned-up including
belts and a motor. Cost of unit on fleabay $71. Cost of tune-
up $82. Without a manual and with everthing set in neutral by
the tech, and using the old Maxell XL II, I'm making tapes from FM
that sound better than commercial tapes I put away 15 years ago.
FURTHER; I think the replay sounds better than the broadcast.
This is a basement set-up with a Mitsubishi R20 receiver and a dipole. Am I delusional? Can't wait to hear a good deck on my main system.Ron
