Good sound, great deck ✊💥 with dbx and native remote control. One of the best among the two-headed devices of the early-mid 80s. As far as I know, this is a pre-top model, only the K-1000 is higher. I also have a Yamaha only a later KX-800.💥

Very good and clear video about the K960. For years this was my deck, purchased new. Later on I bought a K1000 (also with dbx) - which I found was a little bit more accurate in dbx and Dolby tracking. The K960, under critical recording and listening conditions, has a slightly metallic sound, when compared to the source. Both the 960 and 1000 are easy to clean, easy to wave a demagnetiser near and seem long lasting. Good to know about the K960 idler wheel compatibility with a common plumbing O-ring. I've had to replace a few as they develop flat spots as they is no "off" position - it always leans on one of the two sprocket wheels. Finally, the mute button is very useful when recording from records - it can be released a split second before the music starts, resulting in silent lead-ins.

Thanks for watching and commenting! It is fun getting to enjoy some of this nicer equipment as an adult I never would have been able to afford in the 80s and 90s..

I have a K-960 with the same belt-melt problem. Replacing them now. I loved that tape deck and spent hour after hour recording with it. Nice video, thanks!

I have the same deck in black finish and I love it because it matches the looks of my M70 and C70. It is working very well except for the recording. When recording a cassette the sound seems to be very muffled and distorted. Have you got any clues on what part of the machine should I look into?

First, I would try to clean the erase head with alcohol and a cotton swab. Also I would exercise all the switches just in case they are dirty/scratchy - move the record level back and forth rapidly several times, click all the buttons repeatedly, etc.

@@ACBMemphis thanks for the advice! I hope the circuitry isn’t involved because otherwise it plays back nicely. Another issue it has is that the mechanism is nosy and it struggles in fast reverse. I think this is due to tire you found cracked. I think you solved it very nicely with the o ring, by the way!

@@AlbySpace Thanks! Usually the electronics on these things are very reliable. I think that kit of O rings came from Lowe's and it was only about $10 for 200 of them. Good luck on your repairs!
