Teac A-3300S - Demagnetizing; Lubrication Procedures; Lubrication Points

Demagnetizing Lubrication Procedures
1. Remove the rear panel.
2. Use TEAC TZ-255 oil or equivalent.
3. Lubricate points listed below at every 1,000 hours of
operation or once a year if equipment is infrequently
used.
CAPSTAN SHAFT: Remove the dust cover by turning
it counterclockwise with fingers, apply approximately 2
drops of oil to the oil-chamber felt.
MODEL E-3 HEAD DEMAGNETIZER
During long periods of use, the heads will become slightly
magnetized. As a result, the high frequency will decrease,
noise will develop, or in extreme cases the high regions will
drop out or introduce noise into your valued pre-recorded
tapes. To keep your recorder operating at optimum ef¬
ficiency the heads should be demagnetized at least once for
every 50 hours of use, with a TEAC Model E-3 Head
Demagnetizer, using the procedures outlined below:
1. Turn off power to the tape deck.
2. Attach the plastic protectors on the pole tips of the
Demagnetizer.
3. Plug the Demagnetizer cord into an AC outlet.
4. Depress the Demagnetizer power button, bring the tip
close to the head and slowly move it up and down 4 or 5
times.
5. Slowly draw it away from the head.
6. The same demagnetizing procedure is followed on each
head, capstan shaft, and the guide posts.
7. After finishing the above procedure turn off power to
the Demagnetizer ONLY after it has been drawn at least
12 inches away from the heads.
PINCH ROLLER SHAFT: Unscrew the cap with fingers,
apply one drop of oil to the shaft bearing.
MOTORS: Each motor (capstan motor, 2 reel motors) has
two oil tubes attached. Apply approximately 1 cc of oil to
each motor tube. If oil “backs up” into the oiling tubes, or
is not accepted by the motor, do not force it into the
motor.
CAUTION: Do not apply excessive quantities of oil, over
lubrication can be a source of difficulty. Do not
apply oil to any rubber parts. Should oil be
spilled onto rubber parts, remove immediately
with TEAC rubber cleaning fluid.
Lubrication should be accomplished immediately after use
while equipment is still warm.
After applying lubricant, leave tape deck in horizontal posi¬
tion for 1-2 hours until oil is thoroughly absorbed.
