Curl Checking and Adjustment

• Checking / adjusting method
Run the tracking tape (J-20) (exclusive) in the CUE mode or REV
mode, and check that the tape runs along each flange.
Also check that there are no large curls on each tape guide.

• If the curl is large or there are clearances
If the TG3 curl is large or clearances exist, replace the coaster (S)
assembly. If the TG6 curl is large, or clearances exist, replace the
coaster (T) assembly. If curls or clearances exist on the TG7, rotate
TG7 and adjust its height.
Note: Be careful not to rotate TG7 excessively.
For details on how to replace the coaster (S) / (T) assembly, refer to
2-2-13 on page 5-48.
TG6 TG7
There should be no large curls on the
upper and lower flanges of TG7.
Capstan
Use a mirror (J-15) for checking for TG7.
Easy to check with removing the damper
assembly. (Refer to 2-2-3. Damper Assembly

waveform rises horizontally within 2 seconds.
Perform this 2 or 3 times.
