Default Re: Cassette deck head alignment - a surprise

You cannot align a tape deck using a pre-recorded music tape.
You will need the service- manual, scope, sig gen, mv meter, and test tapes at the very least.
Follow the procedure in the manual, head alignment, playback circuits, and then record circuits using a new cassette.
You cannot measure resistance of components in situ as there will be other components connected to the pre-sets which will give you a lower reading than the value of the individual pot.
