Tandberg TCD-310 Cassette Deck

 TANDBERG TCD-310


I'm currently working on this circa 1975/1976 cassette deck. There so many minor issues with this deck - too many to write about.

However of note, the original pinch rollers were removed - they were effectively useless as their surfaces had become shiny and lacking in good traction abilities.

General areas on the component side of the audio boards have been cleaned, and most/all eletrolytic capacitors will be replaced, and later most/all signal transistors.


Some images for now ...
