Let's go through a full tape deck tune up for the Amstrad CPC 464. A lot of this should apply to other computers (ZX Spectrum +2) and even standalone tape decks. We'll clean it, check the belts, check the azimuth, replace the counter reset button, and fix up the pause button. Also, since they come integrated in the 464, I'll also service the main switch and the volume wheel.
