The tortuous Pioneer CT-50T tape deck Repair (Patreon)

A few weeks ago I made the video about the Pioneer flip-clock cassette deck. My original plan for that was to show a quick repair at the beginning before moving on to do a demonstration.

The repair turned out to be anything but quick, so by the time I’d got the deck working, I’d recorded enough repair footage for a really dull Blu-ray box set.

Here’s my attempt to condense that repair footage into something watchable.

It’s quite a long video, so is in danger of overstaying its welcome by the end, but that mirrors my experience with the deck itself. If nothing else, at least I can finally reclaim the space on my SSD.

Hope you’re all still holding up well. Apologies if anyone is awaiting a response to an email or message. After I’d turned off the computer to take a couple of days break from the internet I returned to a full inbox. I’ll work on trying to catch up, although I’ve noticed my oldest messages I’d previously flagged to reply to date from Jan 2018, so it may be a while before I’m up to date.

I have to agree with some of the other posters above that this was really a fantastic video and along with your prior repair videos but especially this one altogether they have given me a ton more confidence in my ability to attempt to repair similar type components! Items that I would never have thought to open up a myself previously I now can look at and reference your videos and at least get some ideas as to what could be causing the problem and more importantly how to fix it. So I very much appreciate you sharing this video with us it really was fantastic in I'm sure I'll be coming back to it along with your other repair videos in the future. Many thanks!

Well if it helps anyone feel more confident in taking a lid off something and having a look around inside rather than just binning it, then that’s a really good outcome.

Matt, you're way too hard on yourself - you really have a mental block over the electronics side of things.. Many of us who ever fixed hifi equipment for a living started out just where you are, fixing by trial & error, learning as we went and getting better the more we did. The electronics side of it is not so difficult, especially with through-hole discrete component stuff. A lot of components can be tested in-circuit with a decent meter and there are plenty of stock faults like resistor values drifting (esp. in valve/crt circuits), dried-out capacitors, dead transistors etc. You clearly have a 'feel' for how mechanical systems work and electronics is the same ; the players are different, the rules are different but you'll see the same patterns appearing time after time. Learn some basic electronic circuit theory, watch some YT videos on ohms law, passive components & theor role in circuits, zener diodes, transistor biasing, power supplies etc. - you'll be surprised how quickly the fog will clear. May I recommend Big Clive's channel - he disassembles a lot of things, electronic & mechanical and explains how everything works in a clear, concise & entertaining way..
