[Vintage-Audio] Revox a77 help needed.

Wed Jan 8 03:15:00 2003

Hi....
This is not a uncommon problem. I have been down that road before, with a few of
my A77. The drive motor bearing just freeze after long storage, the oil gets
like glue. Some times it just takes a little rotation to free it or it may
require a very small amount of machine oil on the bearing faces to keep them
free.
