Duane, I was going to answer this one and the other question but saw 
that Roy caught it already.  He is quite correct.  The "accepted method" 
is to add felt washers under the knobs.  And also correct in that 
hearing one track of four playing backwards is a dead giveaway that it's 
a half-track machine.

The only thing to which I didn't see anyone post an answer was about 
the head cover.  I believe it just snaps off of the idler posts.  Pull 
straight outward with a slight rocking motion.  Because of the forward 
position of the electronics deck on the Revox an inspection mirror might 
be needed to view the head gaps.  Overall though it does seem that you 
have a half-track deck.  I would say that for your stated needs that's a 
good thing.

Fred
