Teac A-6010 bearings
Hi, firstly I am new here and this my first post, so thank you.
I have a late 60's Teac A-6010. I know these machines are neither too common nor popular in Europe but does anyone know the size of the impedance and capstan flywheel roller bearings - I think they would be common to a lot of the early Teacs? Mine are very slightly noisy but I am reluctant to strip an otherwise very fine running machine down for a very fussy and minor reason. The service manual does not even state a part number. Thank you in advance. |

The Service manual is less then helpful giving no information on the bearings.

To be fair it's a bad hifiengine pdf. I'm getting a better one from Stereo manuals. But the service replacements were entire shafts including the bearings, so more understandable. Thanks.

Re: Teac A-6010 bearings
Any numbers on the original bearings? they're likely standard sizes

Re: Teac A-6010 bearings
Thanks David - as I say I'm reluctant to strip the machine down to find out though I realise I will have to if nobody knows. I think they are a very common size, certainly common to all pre '74 Teacs. It's very very slight and possibly just strip, clean and repack will do.
