Can anyone suggest a UK company who do decent quality repairs (or supply
parts) on Tandberg recorders? I'm currently using my old 3041X to transfer
ancient recordings to digital and it is struggling! So far it has worked
amazingly well for such an old machine. If my luck holds I may be able to
transfer all the items I really want, but I suspect it may pine for fjords
before I finish all the old tapes. The problems are the usual suspects like
no-longer-very-rubbery pinch wheel, low belt traction, and crimbled clutch
pads. (The record electronics is also now popcorn noisy. But fortunately
the replay side has been OK so far.)

I do also have a 3341X. But that seems to have already had a failure of
something like a drive belt. (And to complete the admissions I also have an
even older mono deck and a TP41 portable radio. :-) )

I did do a search. But almost all the pages I found were either data
drives, or USA. The only exception was prpe.co.uk. Whose website didn't
tell me much, and I know zero about them!

Slainte,

Jim

I don't know if he will be able to do this, but the first person I'd ask
is Adrian Tuddenham, who's usually found posting to uk.comp.sys.mac.
