Alignment Procedures Of Mechanism - Magnavox 19MDTR20 Service Manual

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES OF MECHANISM

The following procedures describe how to align the
individual gears and levers that make up the tape
loading/unloading mechanism. Since information
about the state of the mechanism is provided to the
System Control Circuit only through the Mode Switch,
it is essential that the correct relationship between
individual gears and levers be maintained.
All alignments are to be performed with the
mechanism in Eject mode, in the sequence given.
Each procedure assumes that all previous procedures
have been completed.
IMPORTANT:
If any one of these alignments is not performed
properly, even if off by only one tooth, the unit will
unload or stop and it may result in damage to the
mechanical or electrical parts.
