At the top of the repair stack is this Late 70s (?) JVC two head deck. its got a list of faults the length of my arm and more to jump out on the way.

In some places the model number seems to be prefixed differently - instead it is KD-S200. Maybe to avoid confusion with CD players?

It is an early MK1 deck with ANRS, and a bit of an odd size. sit back, grab a brew and enjoy!

    Great job. Lots of little issues, and a satisfying result. Looking forward to the next one.

    I bought a matching JVC tuner-amp back in 1978 which looked uncannily similar to the tape deck and although not in use at the moment still works fine.

    Watched the 1st few mins. Take a look at rec switch for bouncing right channel, give a clean with de-ox or similar

    In the end of the 70's, my buddy was into JVC audio and i had Teac cassette decks. When he brought his JVC decks at my place, we compared with my Teac's and, it wasn't even funny how much better all of his JVC's sounded!, SO much better!. The ANRS and Super ANRS werent a joke either, beating the Dolby's.

    Ah the deck offering to go along with the JR-Sxxx receivers. Wondered what they might look like.
  • @mallacai
    putting the deck into record for a few seconds with a blank tape in sorts out the VU needle from maxing out, simple fix
