Commodore C2N Datassette - Mini Repair Marathon evening

In this episode, we are going to fix 2x Commodore C2N datassettes and analyse the classic problems that may arise over time. The first thing to do in a datassette that is 40 years old, is tho change the rubber belts that are used for the movement of the cassettes and the overall operation. The second thing is to make sure that the head and the surrounding area (pinch roller and capstan) are clean of dirt too. Isoprop alcohol can help here. Another essential point to check is the azimuth angle, in other words the angle and the way the tape is getting in contact with the head in order for the data to be read and/or written. Finally, before closing every repair session like this, you must apply just a few drops of WD40 to all the gears and the mechanically moving parts. Our second faulty datassette here, was seriously damaged because the motor was out of order. Although a rare situation, it can happen. It is certain that belts would need replacement as well. If you have a spares box, try to locate an identical motor - in my case it was one salvaged from an old walkman - and make sure it run on 6 volts.
