The problem with the above deck is that I cant set the bias on the RH channel (tracks 2-3)

The high frequencies are far too high and no adjustment of the bias can reduce it.

I've scoped the output of the bias pots. On CH1 there is a good range of bias control, on CH2, not so.

I swapped the record amplifiers but that made no difference.

The pot and the associated resistor are within spec.

Which leaves one thing, the record head or possibly the erase head. Can anyone concur or if you think of another cause then let me know
