Greetings!I'm a new Video Asylum Inmate who happens to be the proud original owner of a Pioneer RT-909. I've recently pulled this unit out from storage and tryed to power-it-up and test run. Apparently all the lights and buttons work, however, when I try to play/rec in either direction the servos engage but the reels don't move...is this a belt problem??
Does anybody know of a qualified/interested service/repair guru for this machine in the Southeastern U.S. - FL/GA??
Thanks,
A. Bertran (Tonaso)

The RT-909 is "NOT" belt driven. It is a direct drive unit with variable speed controls to control the pitch, etc. This was and still is a very high end unit and very much worth repairing in my opinion. I have used mine continuously since 1979 without any failure and very little maintenance.CHEERS
Each reel has a direct drive motor but the capstans are
conected to the servo motor with a rubber belt. If your
RT 909 quick forward and quick return works but the
forward and reverse play doesn't work then this rubber belt
is no longer elastic and has to be replaced.Regards Henri RT909 in Switzerland
