Azimuth Adjustment on Tascam 122MKIII Cassette Deck

I am trying to adjust the azimuth on a Tascam 122MKIII Cassette Deck and I cannot figure out how to do it. I bought a really thin 00x2 1/2 philips screwdriver that still won't fit in the slot that appears to be the place to adjust the azimuth. I even started to take off the face and I still can't get to the screws.

Thanks.

The screws are sometimes locked with Loctite or similer and the screw slot may be blocked up also. wetting the screw head with acetone will help to allow for the blocked screw head to soften. BE CAREFUL WITH ACETONE. it will damage plastic!!

You must find a screwdriver that will fit. a jewelers tool kit may do it. you can break the screws loose without acetone,if the driver fits the screw.otherwise remove the door cover if you can, most slide upwards 2 unlock.hope this helps.

Tascam 238 recording deck won't stop rewinding.

Well which is it 122 mk III or the 238?
The grease in the 122 will harden with time and gear crack or lose teeth. The deck needs to be worked on. There is myself in Chicago,
Russ in New Jersey that are still working Teac Technicians. There is Adrian in CA but I am not sure he wants to work on cassette decks.

The azimuth adjustment keys don't work

Send it back along with the hand controller describing the problem. Could be several things including a bad hand controller. If there is a local astronomy shop nearby take the scope there and ask to try one of the hand controllers in the shop and test it. If it now works you just need to buy another hand controller.

Otherwise send it in for repair
