Tandberg 3300X recapasitor

Elsuhan — Thu, 05 May 2022 08:50:50 +0000

Hello everyone,

I just bought Tandberg 3300X from Germany through eBay with not working condition.

I live in Indonesia, Jakarta City and just realized maybe I'm the only one who have Tandberg 3300X. In our country the most populer reel to reel is AKAI, but the Dragon Slayer Tandberg 3014 is very famous here.

Shortly, I try to fix this gorgeous reel, and after some replacement parts (transistors and very unique one is capasitor with resistor) and also tidy up the cables and found there are some sockets was installed backwards, finally it works and back to normal operation.

My concern now is...I want to upgrade/recapasitor like I did in many amps or receivers considering this unit was born around 1970 and need capasitors refreshment.

Maybe somebody can share experiences or maybe have a reusme capasitors list that would be helpful?

Thank you.

Greetings from Jakarta - Indonesia.

Best Regards,

Elsuhan

Hi, my name is Gerard

I have a TR2075 for around 40 years, about 15 years ago I planned to refurbish it.

This resulted in this particular TR2075 still not refurbished, but instead buying "something defective" now and then. Some 15, maybe 20, (or 25?) devices of different brands I still have, they hide under a bed, in cabinets and even in drawers, to avoid any impression I am a hoarder.

My current Tandberg pieces are the TR2075 I have for so many years, an Acrylic TR2075 one I just finished refurbishing, and a pair of Studio Monitors.

Therefore, I like to join this party!

Cheers, Gerard Slikker

Have loved Tandberg tape recorders for 40 years now. I was 11 when I first saw one in my high school's "language lab". In part, I learnt french and german for 4 years via that Tandberg tape recorder.

As an adult, I've owned many over the years, my fascination and love for them has never diminished!

Hi, my name is Petar I am living in Austria. I must admit that it wasn't my affection towards Tandberg that brought me here but my dad's. He always admired Tandberg but only recently bought a used TR2040 in Serbia where he lives. Shortly after the receiver started having problems and now I am trying to repair it. I will open a separate topic about it.

As I have very little free time for the repair it will take time and my dad in the meantime already got himself another receiver so it is possible that Tandberg will stay with me.

Cheers

Hello to all Tandberg fans. I am Guido and I live in the Netherlands. I bought my first Tandberg device (TR2040) last year and was able to get it working, with help of tandbergista's blog and this forum. Quite happy with it! The virus struck and I came across an Huldra 10 that was supposedly not working. Cleaning contacts did the trick and treated it to new bulbs and capacitors. There is something about the H10; it is like a box of magic and it really makes the music come alive. Almost 50 years old and still going strong: now that's quality for you.https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME73SRD

Dear all,

just discovered this forum by browsing through www. My name is Heiner and I am listening my beloved jazz music on Tandberg components since 1985! Over the years I have owned 2060; 3001; 3002; 3003; 3004, 3028; 3026; 3016, 3015; 3080 and 4000-series. My current setup is shown in the pic. Looking forward on nice talks over Tandberg audio products!

Great to see a forum dedicated to this fantastic equipment. The Tandberg gear I'm mostly interested in and collect is Educational equipment (language laboratories). Not exactly run of the mill, I know! Also have a few of their 1970s reel to reels.

Love the looks of the Tandbergs. My sister studied specs and listened to and compared receivers the entire summer of 1977. She bought a TR-2040 and some high-end inefficient speakers that the Tandberg couldn't drive properly. I loved the looks but was less than impressed with the sound quality. Fast forward 45 years and I got a broken TR-1020 with a large equipment purchase.

I found the Tandbergista TR-1000 Magnum Opus repair write-up and that exceptional repair journey inspired me to repair my TR-1020. With the Magnum Opus idea of gifting it to my sister.

Now my project is nearly completed and the receiver is up and running. The sound is rich and full making me more impressed with the sound quality of this Tandberg than the great looks. Now I understand why she loved her Tandberg.

I am glad to be part of this site and hope that I can be of assistance as Jens and his write-up was to me.

Greetings from Russia! I recently got into the Tandberg technique, bought myself a TR2025 receiver and am very pleased with it. The speakers have not yet picked up the appropriate ones. I listen in Japanese. I also really want to buy a Tandberg turntable. But there is only one TT5000 model available to me now and it is not in a very good condition. so I will search. I am glad to communicate with like-minded people from different countries.
