Can I Revive Kenwood DX-7030 DAT Machine Recorder?
Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2022 Today I'm investigating issues with a Kenwood DX-7030 DAT Recorder. The door opens and closes, but doesn't play the tape. There's not a lot of mech service video content on this model. And I have no service manual. Can I get this thing working? This is just a summary of about 10 hours of inspection, fiddling, proding, and poking. Not including watching a load of DAT mech cleaning content.
