| MTR90MK2 Capstan failure Looks like I managed to **** my Servo disc motor for the capstan on my MTR90 MK2. I am trying otari, precision motor works and athan, to get a spare part one, but aside from that can anyone give me any more options to follow up.

 | Bummer...I'd ask how but.... Try John Klett or any of the guys at Tech Mecca. They usually have lots of Otari spares floating around.

|  Thanks Guys. Don at www.larking.com did indeed have a entire spare capstan motor plus John Klett at http://www.technicalaudio.com was also kind enough to reply with some advice. The best option in the end turned out to be at http://www.PrecisionMotorWorks.com who make a much improved motor with higher specs than the original. http://www.precisionmotorworks.com/P...o.Disc_Mtr.pdf They claim "not a single faiure in 8 years" and this was backed up by John Klett and that all I needed to hear so I was sold.  PS, the otari guy at amber is away on holiday for 2 weeks. lol just my luck. Anyway, problem solved.

| Im back!! 8 days in total. Pretty good I reckon to fnd, order, post, install a part from the other side of the world. Could have been even quicker If I had paid higher postage, but Im quite happy with that. Now where was I, ah thats it, about to do a drop in.
