Tandberg Reel to Reel longshot...

[jaetee]

I have a Tandberg 9200 XD Reel to Reel in repair and it turns out the problem is a faulty motor. Even worses, the part appears to be made out of pure unobtainium. Extensive web searching is not yielding any decent results.

I know its a real longshot on this forum, but does anyone here have a parts unit and can sell me a motor?

Here is what's printed on the motor:

Top line: PAPST-MOTOREN KG
2nd line: HSZ32.50-4-860 DeM
3rd line: 230V 50Hz 1.5uf

I think the motor from the 10 XD and 3600 XD may be the same.

Any ideas or help greatly appreciated. I've already posted to http://www.tapeheads.net, http://www.audiokarma.org and will also post to S2G.

Unobtainium? Man, that has to be the rarest element ever known to man.

Good luck with your search, jaetee. Tandberg is a righteous brand!

Yup, unobtainium is the perfect name for it... Gotta try to put a funny twist on a frustrating situation...

I also blasted an email out to the NakTalk list, but I don't know if I will make it out. Lots of those Nak guys are also into reel to reel, so I may get lucky...

Thanks for the well wishes.

That's the first and only place I found that came close. I checked with them already, they don't have the part I need.

Dude, you're like "tony-on-the-spot!"

Acutally, I already have a message to that seller to try to find out if the capstan turns when he hits play. From the sound of the description, it could actually have the same issue as mine.

Thanks for the effort, bro!

I try to help people find things, figured you probably checked all the same sources that I would have

any way to find out if any different models used the same motor you need?

I've already disqualified a few models, not sure about some of the others. See my original post, I mention the models that might have the same motor...

I read somewhere that parts were still available from Tandberg

Tandberg is now a video conferencing specialist company. They aren't in the audio business anymore.

 

[ahardb0dy]

I saw that but wasn't sure if that was just another company with the same name
