In Reply to: Pioneer RT-909 : Available Service and/or Repair? posted by Tonaso on February 24, 2005 at 07:35:23:
The RT-909 is "NOT" belt driven. It is a direct drive unit with variable speed controls to control the pitch, etc. This was and still is a very high end unit and very much worth repairing in my opinion. I have used mine continuously since 1979 without any failure and very little maintenance.
Follow Ups:
Each reel has a direct drive motor but the capstans are
conected to the servo motor with a rubber belt. If your
RT 909 quick forward and quick return works but the
forward and reverse play doesn't work then this rubber belt
is no longer elastic and has to be replaced.Regards Henri RT909 in Switzerland
