Default Re: ELPICO BSR TD2 - Reel to Reel - Low Volume on Playback

Thank you to everyone who has offered me advice, I am always grateful.

I have cleaned the head thoroughly, visually it looks sound.

It definitely is the TR400 Model

I think I will start off by replacing those brown HUNTS caps. It does look a pain to remove the board to get to the solder side so I will likely cut the components from the accessible side... However I don't have a schematic for this so unsure of the polarity of the Hunts Caps. Is there a way to identify this visually on the cap? Apologies if this is a silly question but I am only used to doing electrolytes.

Cheers.
