Hi there,

I've been asked for my opinion about those evilBay kits :

http://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/Revox-A700-tape-recorder-Tape-Transport-Motor-Control-PSU-kit-/281387870612?hash=item4184062994

What about those motor caps ?  The poor smily/washing machine image made my scam warning light bright but I must admit that I'm not very familiar with reel tape motors.

Any opinions about this ? 180AUD+61AUD doesn't look like a bargain, but for someone that wants to sty away from the troubles of selecting.buying for each cap it's not that much.

Best regards.

Eric
 
It's from Nagravox, a trustworthy seller by all accounts. They also supply lots of documentation.
The kit's fine, has all the bits and will save you a lot of hassle sourcing parts but you can get them cheaper from normal suppliers.
There will also be import duty to pay..

I'm in the process of restoring an A77 and almost purchased one of those kits but i've now found a  guy in Germany selling  motor run caps for my A77, if i need them.
I'm not sure if he has the correct values for an A700 tho.
