AKAI / ROBERTS-Rheem SPEED SLEEVE
REEL TO REEL TAPE DECK
CAPSTAN BUSHING / SPEED CHANGE SLEEVE / ADAPTER
MADE OF "HARD ALLOY, NON-MAGNETIC 7075 ALUMINUM"
IN THE USA!
FOR
SALE
This is a new capstan bushing / speed change sleeve / adapter for
certain Akai & Roberts-Rheem Reel to Reel Tape decks such as the Akai's M-8 /
M8, X150D, X-150D, 1700, 1710, 1710-W, 1710W, 1710W/L, 1720, 1720W, X-2000S,
X-2000SD & X-5000-W models and Robert's model 720A, 997,1630, 1680, 1725 8L III
and maybe others . This allows the faster 7.5 ips playback / recording speeds to
be achieved. Without this you will only be able to do the slower speeds of 1
7/8ips and 3 3/4 ips
(while some of these decks were originally designed to play 15ips as well, this
required a '15 ips kit' which had an 'optional', additional and different speed
sleeve and a smaller pinch roller. At this time we are not manufacturing either
the 15ips sleeve nor is there a source for the smaller 15ips pinch roller).
If yours is misplaced then here's the fix. These are new speed sleeves
machined to exact specs and made of
"HARD ALLOY NON-MAGNETIC
7075 ALUMINUM", not soft brass,
that has a short life, so the locking dovetail will not wear.
These fit snug and will stay on with
a perfect fitting "locking notch"
joint machined to perfection. Each one is
individually tested with factory test tones at 400Hz and 1kHz, and monitored on
an HP, dual trace O'scope for any wow and flutter issues!
-- These fit and are machined to perfection
and do not have the WOW and Flutter issues that many of the one's that
are being sold
on-line
auctions
exhibit. We often hear complaints about those and end up selling ours to replace
them. --
$38.50
Shipped
10/25/11 FINALLY, BACK IN STOCK
(includes Postal 1st Class
shipping to any of the US states.
Other locations slightly higher.)
These enable you to play /
use the faster 7.5 ips tape speed if your deck requires a capstan sleeve
to do that. We are always investigating which Akai Reel decks these will
fit. We do know it will fit the above listed decks.
If you do not see yours listed PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL or CALL to
ask if it will, as we do not know yet. This is a "work-in-progress".
As soon as we discover
additional models that this sleeve will or will not
fit, we will post that info.
STUDY THE PHOTOS CLOSELY TO DETERMINE THE FIT FOR YOUR DECK.
We know these do not fit X-4000D, 4000DB, 4000DS,
4400 or some of the
"M-" series as they use a different sleeve.
"Just
to say the new Akai capstan speed
sleeve completely sorted out the problems
with my machine - sounds sweet!
Thanks." - Miles, UK

AKAI / ROBERTS-Rheem SPEED SLEEVE
REEL TO REEL TAPE DECK
"SHORT"
CAPSTAN BUSHING / SPEED CHANGE SLEEVE ADAPTOR
FOR DECKS WITH AN OUTER
"RIDGE"
ON THE PINCH ROLLER
MADE OF "HARD ALLOY, NON-MAGNETIC 7075 ALUMINUM"
IN THE USA!
FOR
SALE
This is a new capstan bushing / speed change sleeve adapter for
certain Akai & Roberts-Rheem Reel to Reel Tape decks, whose rubber pinch roller
has a small ridge or lip on the outside edge
(the 'edge' or 'lip' was originally designed into these pinch rollers to keep
the speed sleeve and I suppose the tape 'in place' but was really un-necessary,
as the speed sleeve generally stays in place by it's own pressure), such as the
Akai's M-9,
1800 series, X-1800SD,
1800-DSS models and Robert's model
770X SS, 771X SS and maybe others . This allows the faster 7.5 ips playback / recording speeds to be
achieved. Without this you will only be able to do
the slower speeds of 1 7/8ips and 3 3/4 ips
