Re: Another Ferrograph Series 7
As far as I am aware, it is simply there for sound deadening. At some point I am intending to remove the old stuff and replace it with 2 or 3mm of foam.
There is also foam on the other (spool brake) solenoid just below and to the right of the tape speed setting knob near the on/off switch. But that one is going to be trickier to get at. |

Re: Another Ferrograph Series 7
The handles certainly seem very strong and secure.

Re: Another Ferrograph Series 7
Now see that with a little more manual force that the Run Solenoid armature will hit the solenoid body.
Also now see the decomposing foam on the spool brake solenoid (same on my two Mk. 1 units). |

Re: Another Ferrograph Series 7
After a more through inspection now see that the pinch wheel is somewhat soft and sticky so have ordered a new one.
