If oil stains rubber part, wipe it off immediately with piece of cloth moistened with denatured alcohol. Capstan bearing: Dismount flywheel assembly every 1,000 hours of operation, clean capstan shaft and bearing, then drop two or three drops of oil into bearing. Tension arm: Remove tension arms every 2,000 hours of operation, clean tension arm shafts and bearings carefully, then apply silicon grease on shafts. FREQUENCY CONVERSION 1.

Because of the difference in size of the screws, the capstan will loosen and slowly rise as you turn in the 4 mm screw. w Remove the capstan sleeve completely off the flywheel shaft. Free the 4mm screw from the capstan sleeve. © 8 Mount the spare capstan sleeve on the flywheel shaft, and tighten it with the 3mm screw VOLTAGE CONVERSION {removed in step 3. above). 9. Remove the pinch roller and exchange it with the spare pinch roller. Be sure to replace the metallic protector disc on the spare pinch roller. 10. Place the unused capstan sleeve, pinch roller and 4mm screw in the vinyl bag, and retain for possible future use. While the units sold in the U.S.A. are designed to operate at 117 Vm 60Hz only, those sold in other areas are able to operate at 100, 117, 125, 200, 220 or 240V/50 or 60 Hz. Your own Model is already adjusted to the correct voltage and frequency of your area in our factory, but if you ever find it necessary to change the settings, proceed as follows. ‘To change the voltage unscrew the fuse in the center of the voltage selector plug. Pull out the plug and reinsert it so the desired voltage show in the cutout. Reinstall the fuse.AND ADJUSTABLE SCREW HEAD ALIGNMENT B14 waTIO¥ HONI QV3H GuoOay = GV3H_YOVEAWId GO av3H yOvaAvTd av3H quoo3u BA337S NVISdvO asuanzu auvmeos fav HuINaZ @ fav Hinwizy @ fav 1HO3H © M3YOS ONILSNCAV avaH asvu3QV3H ayoo3y —av3H yOvEAYTd QV3H YOVEAVId == GV3H GOOZHaV3H aSvUa asuaazy BASIS NyLsavo auymuos | = f } = ai oe — —_— ANSWNSIW OVSHMECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT 1. Adjusting position of pinch roller push-up PINCHROLLER solenoic Move pinch roller push-up solenoid slightly up of down until gap (A) between pinch roller arm and guid is 0,2 or 0.3mm. SOLENOID, PINCH-PUSH UP 2. Adjusting pinch roller pressure. When pinch roller plunger is fully into solenoid coil (i.e., when capstan is revolving), attach a spring balance to pinch roller arm and pull it gently in direction of arrow. Adjust double nuts (A) and (B) so that spring balance indicates 1.8K. PINCHROLLER a SPRING SCALE _— —— 3. Adjusting pinch roller stroke. After pressure of pinch roller is adjusted as a structed above, adjust its stroke while pinch ® roller plunger is still completely withdrawn, ie This is done by turning nut (B) clockwise until it contacts (C), turning it counterclock- wise from that position by one full tum, ae locking it with nut (A), @ADJUSTING HOLD-BACK TENSION RED GREEN 1. In fast operation mode. Push fast forward or rewind button and then adjust slider (B) so that voltage between brown and red terminals of supply motor becomes 20V. ._In playback mode. Push play button and adjust slider (A) so that voltage between green and red terminals of supply motor becomes 38V. ADJUSTING AUTO SHUT-OFF SWITCH . Adjust position of switch so that auto shut-off Micro-switcH switch turns off when gap (B) in right-hand diagram is 5 to 7mm. 2. Confirm that when that switch turns on, its actuator is still lower than outer tape guid (A) ‘or somewhere within range indicated as (C) in diagram. If it enters space between (A) and (B), repeat adjustment described in step 1 above. ACTUATOR |. Adjust positions of (A) and (B) so that gaps (C) and (D) are both 0.5 mm. 2. Using stop watch, measure how long it takes for reels to come to complete stop after tape deck is switched ‘over from fast forward or rewind to stop. Adjust position of spring (E) so that they stop within one or two seconds. SOLENOID, BRAKE LyDISASSEMBLY CABINET TOP VIEW MW y, Mt !

WK} DOKORDER Hi-Fi COMPONENTS 11266 PLAYA COURT * CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA 90230 SERVICE BULLETIN No. 7200-1 March 1974 For Dokorder Model 7200 and 7500 Subject: How to eliminate click noise which is recorded onto tape when machine is stopped in play back position. We have received some complaints from users that when the machine is set at play back mode and then stopped, very little click noise is recorded on the play back tape. We found that the clicks arise in the ground pattern of operation P.C.B., because the power line ground pattern and the recording signal ground pattern are the same. If the recording signal ground and the power supply ground are seperated there are no clicks recorded on the tape. To correct the trouble please follow the following conversion: 1. Take off backboard & front panel by loosening screws. 2. ‘The operating button assembly will come out from the front. (complete removal is not necessary from the chassis. 2 or 3 inches will be enough) 3. For actual conversion, please follow the attached instructions.

For 50Hz operation, add 1 - 1.2uP 250WVAC capacitor across the terminals of the capacitor so as to obtain 3.5 - 3.8ur.NUMBER: DATE:_3=26-7) ) Dckxorder, Inc. iet COMPONENTS 5439 ROSECRANS AV Ka © LAWNDALE,CA 90260 © (213) 644.421 WAIT AT ; VPI TPEPT ° WiSua V7 UG WY lbw ba TO: ALL AUTHORIZED SERVICE STATIONS & SALES REPRESENTATIVES FROM: JIMMY FUSIOKA, Service Manager SUBJECT: BIASING OF DOKORDER MODELS Please be informed that the following are the various tapes and model numbers Bias adjusted for: Model ¢ Tape 8140 2076212/UD-35 Maxell See Owner's Manual Pg.8 1120 Normal 150/212 & UD35 Maxell See Owner's Manual ?g.10 7200, 7500, 9100 Normal Scotch 150 &203 Scotch Special 7200 & 7500 See Owner's Manual Pg.7 9100 See Owner's Manual Pg. 8 The following are the type of tapes that the units were aligned and tested.

Cure — Check or replace Q901, Q902, with TIP41 type transistors located on PCM-167A. ‘Symptoms — Pinch roller engages only in forward or reverse direction. Cure — Check or replace D502, D503, located on PCM-160. ‘Symptoms — Brakes do not release in play or rewind mode. Cure — Check or replace D602, located on PCM-162A. NOTE — Whenever a transistor or diode is replaced in the control circuit, be sure to perform a quick voltage check across brake solenoid to assure proper operation. Voltage should read +25 volts when play button is depressed, and will gradually drop to +15 - +17 for the duration. Symptoms — ‘No record, or intermittent record in the reverse mode. Cure — 1) By sequence — Check or replace Relay K301 Check or replace Diode D325 Check or replace Transistor Q310 2) Also be certain that all two conductor cables on the PC board are free from partial shorts to chassis, cold soldered, etc., around the associated circuits.
