Default Re: Sanyo RD 4260 (recording issues)

Yeah, I am new haha. New to everything old I guess. I know what the heads are, but what are the guides and capstan? not great with the terms. Do you know what year my deck is? I think its 1971-73, but I'm not too sure, the box doesn't say. Thanks for replying!

Okay, thank you. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for replying!
