The usual service which will get a deck running is cleaning of heads and pinch rollers - bias adjustment - and replacement of belt or two (belts are of pretty much std lenghts).

That kind of 'hoito' would take us about 39 mins - so have to think 50€ would handle tht - and include belts which are only 'cents' each.

^ this sounds like you already know what's wrong with it and are able to repair it yourself.

Because I DON'T know how to do that actual stuff- I just know WHAT is needed to be done usually. If I touch equipment like that myself, it's then ready for Ämmässuo :lol:

The independent RTV guy has seemed to have followed the Dodo bird - thus my question.

There used to be one on... What the street is north of Brahen kenttä where the tram turns. And one in Tikkurila that did VHS... Try goigle for VHS and they might also do decks.
