iz8dwf | PET 2001's tape deck head azimuth alignment. A quick HOWTO. @iz8dwf | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 10 minutes ago.
A short video for an easy job: I needed to set the head azimuth on the old Commodore PET 2001 tape deck before re-installing it into the case. This is how I did it. I could of course use the better "oscilloscope" procedure, but in the '80s I've used this program very often and it always gave good results.
