I have the same tape deck. Some idiot tried to replace the two track head with a four track head and really screwed up the machine. I called Soundsmith to ask about repairs ... I was told to consider it scrap and to use it for spares. Too bad, because when functioning properly it's a great sounding tape player. The Tanbergs are problematic though, especially the solenoid switches.
Tandberg TD20A. I need a reputable repair shop.
I dug out my old Tandberg TD20A from a closet recently and hooked it up in expectation that I'd be in full reminiscing mode. FAIL!!
It made one move since it was last used 10+ years ago and the only thing I can think of is that it took a hit. No external visible damage... no rattling of parts inside and it fires up but no sound.
I guess it's time to have the old dog sent in for a full checkup. Cost is no object. Who's the best out there for this kind of work?
Many thanks in advance.
