Some time ago I offered an AKAI M-9 Tape player, one that was passed to me by a friend. No one was interested at the time I think down to some cams having a bad reputation for disintegrating.

Today I started to have a look at it, the cams seem to be fine, I confirmed that the right channel had no output despite the VU meter moving, unfortunately on one switch on it decided it would no longer power up. I think one of the rectifiers has gone, no fuses have popped but I will have a look later on.

But I noticed that the IPS adaptor is missing, so at present, even if working it would only do 1 7/8 IPS.

So wondering if anyone would know what the diameter of the adaptor should be and I will see if I can make one out of some brass bar.

Cheers

Adrian
