Marantz SD555 - Adjusting and Checking the Mechanism Section

2. ADJUSTING AND CHECKING THE MECHANISM SECTION
1. Replacing the Pinch Roller
Before replacing the pinch roller, clean the tape contact surface
of the pinch roller and the capstan shaft.
Most causes of poor tape transport can be traced to dirty pinch
roller and capstan shaft.
Remove the clips that press the pinch roller and pull the pinch
roller forward to remove it.
After replacing, run a padless C-90 tape to check for tape curls
at the tape guide section of the head.
2. Checking the Pressure Force of the Pinch
Roller
In the playback mode, hook a spring weight onto the bracket at
the center of the pinch roller. After separating the pinch roller
from the capstan shaft, allow the pinch roller to contact the caps-
tan shaft again. Check to make sure the spring weight reads be-
tween 250 ~350 g when the pinch roller starts to rotate.
Replace the pinch roller when it does not conform to the standard
specification values.

make sure the torque meter indicates within 80~170 g-cm at
the end of FF and REW.

Record/Playback
Load the cassette type torque meter (SONY TW2111); check
to make sure the torque meter reads between 2 ~6 g-cm during
playback and that there is no unevenness.
If it is not within this range, replace the reel ass’y or Washer.
7. Checking the FF and REW Times
