re: PT-862
Hi guy !!
I got a PT862 recently recapped recently, it sound good considering the age it got.
Unfortunately don't have user's manual, does anybody knows how the bias check works ??
Near the pinch roller there's a switch to able bias check and inside v-meter at the bottom line there's writen "bias check" and a sign on the middle of the scale.
Thanks to everyone and sorry for my english

Hi , I've managed to makeup a cable that. fits in the power port. The machine lights up but the motor doesn't move at all.
When I put the knob into the play position the tape heads don't stay up they move straight back down.
any ideas what could be causing this ?
many thanks.
re: PT-862
Have you load a tape ?
Without cannot work, that fine lever near the erase head is a switch....
re: PT-862

Hi,
This might be the cord you are looking for. Check the dimensions shown in the auction and see if they match up with your tape deck.

re: PT-862
Does anybody know if this is an auto reverse tape deck
Cheers
re: PT-862
Not auto reverse. Has play symbol right and left
But probably for left hand people.
re: PT-862
Hi,
I took a look at the Service Manual and it is not an auto-reverse deck.
