Up for sale here is this complete recap kit for a Pioneer RT-909 reel-to-reel tape deck. This includes replacements for all the electrolytic capacitors in the RT-909, including the oddball ones. There are five individual bags of parts, with the kits for each board separated to make installation easier. These are all high-quality brand new genuine parts. The capacitors are 105° Panasonic FC, Nichicon PW, Nichicon KL, Wima film, Panasonic film, and one Illinois capacitor at the same uf ratings (except the 4.5 uf caps are replaced with 4.7 uf) and the same or higher voltage ratings. These are the same parts I use when I rebuild vintage gear. Obviously the RT-909 needs a lot of mechanical work for a restoration, and lots of new rubber parts, and this kit does not include any of that, just the capacitors. Replacing the capacitors is fairly easy, and I will include a basic instruction sheet that explains how capacitors are replaced, but it is not a step-by-step guide, just a general one. The RT-909 is a pretty complicated piece of equipment, so if you have not worked on vintage gear before, this is probably not what you want to start on. You should know what you’re doing and have a decent soldering iron and a dim-bulb tester with a 60W or 100W incandescent bulb. Please see my pictures for details. US shipping and handling is $10, and international is $28. If you have any questions, please ask. Looking for more parts? I have power switches, feet, pushbuttons, top case screws, bottom screws, faceplate screws, white LED fuse lamps, blue LED fuse lamps, 6.3v bi-pin bulbs, 8v bi-pin bulbs, 12v bi-pin bulbs, wired 8v 60ma bulbs, new power cords, new main capacitors for the Marantz 1060/2230, wired Pioneer speaker plug replacements, new 630v yellow film capacitors at 13 different values, a large variety of transistors for vintage stereo repair, and more. Just use “add to cart” on everything you want and then check out for combined shipping.
