After finishing my Conion a few weeks ago, I realized I forgot to adjust the azimuth on the head on deck 2. I tried to live with it. I couldn't. I didn't want to remove the chassis again, no way, no how. Here's what I came up with:
I did this with a sacrificial jeweler's screwdriver, a pair of vise grips, and a small pair of pliers. And Map Gas.
Since they don't make right-angle jeweler's screwdrivers, I heated the donor driver with the gas (propane is too cold for hardened steel) and gave it roughly an 85 degree angle with a 5/8" clearance. Just enough room to clear the head and all the other potential crunch berries in there.
I made a mark on the adjustment screw with a Sharpie so I could confirm a 1/4 turn with each adjustment. Adjust, test, etc, etc.
Deck 2 now sings! Sorry the picture is lousy, but you get the idea. I figured I'd post this in case anyone else is having trouble with deck 2 and doesn't have the juice for a chassis extraction after a restoration. I didn't.
