Tandberg 3014 repair


Greetings A'gon members, and Best wishes for the new year of the water dragon.
I recently purchased a tandberg 3014 cassette deck, touted as THE BEST, unfortunately it has some technical difficulties (when you hit the play button it jumps from release, to rewind to stop to play over and over again).
I was wondering if anyone out there knew where the best place would be to get it checked-out
THANKS

I have heard that same fable about the legendary Tandberg 3014 being among the best ever. I'm sure it's a good deck and worth repairing. Try contacting Willy Hermann at willy@willyhermannservices.com. I know that he is a genius with Nakamichi, and I know that he has insight on the Tandberg as we have discussed the 3014. What I like about Nakamichi is that parts are so readily available on Ebay or other sources. Better yet, there's always Willy. Contact Willy, I'm sure he can help!
Soundsmith are Tandberg specialists in the US and they have parts. As far as I know, they only do complete overhaul with alignment etc. Go to their website sound-smith.com and then call them. It is going to cost you if you agree to their conditions. Tandbergs are not particulary reliable but sound great, so if it is valuable to you, you might want to spend $600-$800 to make it perfectly operational.
I am sure there are cheaper places, but Peter from Soundsmith has a reputation with Tandbergs. Of course, he is also well-known cartridge maker and rebuilder.
Willy is very good with Naks, I serviced my Nak there. I don't know if he works with Tandbergs or/and has parts.
Tonikay and Inna: Thank you very much for your help. I will look at both, My Nak is doing fine so far. Sorry for the late response, as I am yet to get used to the new Website.
I will probably send the TANDBERG to sound smith then.
THANK YOU!
