Yay! Today, My Tech called Me, telling Me that My Wheely was repaired and ready for pick up :thumbsup: It wound up needing a new power transformer and capstan motor. While he was in there, he decided to replace 4 belts. Both cassette decks now play, ffwd & rwd as they should. He could not repair/replace the left deck's pinch roller assembly so it cannot play on the Autoreverse side only :sadno: But!, It's all belted, transformed and ready to kick all others boxes hineys :-D I showd the Tech My HotRod M90 and He said He remembered working on many of them back in the good old days. 'Jim' (Tech) said He and his employees were having fun showing the Wheely off to customers as they came in the store :thumbsup: Anyhoo, here are a few silly pics (cause We ALL wanna see pics).....

Yes. For some crazy reason Only the Helix brand has the moving Blue sliders under the EQ. :dunce: It's looking like Peter "Might" have My Pinch Roller part to make it 100% working and complete.

That's great, man! Technicians/good technicians who actually know what they're doing are hard to find these days. You're very lucky.

This feature is just :drool: :drool: :drool: . I want masterblasta some day , but yours is stopping me from taking another "non moving" one :-D . Is the Helix multivoltage ? I saw is marked on the transformer. Is there a switch for that?
