Introduction
This manual is for the Wollensak T1500 tape recorder, which is designed for operation on 120 VAC, 60Hz. Models TS-1520 and T-1700 are similar, differing only in the ability to operate on different supply voltages. The TS-1520 model has an autotransformer which allows it to operate on 220VAC, 60 Hz as well as 120VAC. The T-1700 model has a vibrator inverter which allows it operate off of 12.6 VDC as well as 120 VAC. The tape record is a complete self-contained recording and playback unit, with a selfcontained speaker. The audio output is also made available at the Preamp. Jack, allowing it to be fed into an existing home music system, or an external speaker may be connected to the External Speaker Jack.

Tone Control
Turning the knob further varies the tone. The Balanced Tone setting emphasizes very high and very low frequencies, the degree of emphasis varying with the volume control setting, thus producing a response which closely matches the normal hearing response of the human ear. The Bass setting cuts high frequencies and emphasizes low ones. The Treble setting emphasizes high frequencies. The Hi-Fi position produces a response suitable for use with external amplifiers. The tone control has no effect when recording.
Volume Control
This regulates the volume during both recording and playback, as well as adjusting the signal level applied to the Preamp Output jack.
Function Keys
Stop
Cancels either playback or recording. Brakes are applied to the spindles, the tape is held away from the head, and the function switch is put into the Stop position.
Record
Before the record key can be pressed to begin recording, the record lock lever must be pulled. This releases the brakes, holds the tape against the head using pressure pads, pushes the pressure roller against the capstan (which moves the tape), and turns the function switch to Record.
Play
Pressing the play key results in the same action as record, except the function switch is put into the Play position.
High-Speed Lever
Moving this lever to the right causes the tape to advance at a much higher speed than that used during recording or playback. When this lever is moved to the left, tape is rewound onto the supply reel. The high-speed lever can be moved when the recorder is
[7]
in any function (Play, Record, or Stop) and the play or record keys will be automatically released. When the lever is returned to neutral, the recorder is left in the Stop mode.
Speed Selector
The speed selector is mounted near the index counter at the left front of the tape recorder, and sets the speed of the tape. The speed selected appears on the speed selector dial in inches per second. The recorder does not need to be stopped to change speeds. Rapid forward winding can be further accelerated by selecting 7 ips.
Index Counter
The index counter can be set to zero by turning the knurled knob towards the rear of the tape recorder. If the counter is zeroed when recording or playback starts, tape selections may be indexed, thus providing quick and accurate replay or editing.
plug lengths for each application. A short (1-inch) plug is used with the microphone and a longer (1 316 -inch) plug is used for external audio sources (televisions, radios, &c.).
Operating Instructions
Preparation
1. 2. 3. 4. Connect the tape recorder to the proper power source using the cord provided. Make sure the high-speed lever is in the center or neutral position. Turn the recorder on by rotating the tone control a few degrees clockwise. Threading the Tape a. Press the stop key. b. Place a full reel of tape (glossy side out, i.e. A wind) on the left spindle. c. Pull a length of tape off the supply reel and lower it into the threading slot. d. Attach the end of the tape to the empty take-up reel. e. Set the index counter to zero.
5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
The signal can be monitored during recording if the slide switch on the rear panel is set to P.A.Monitor. However, care must be taken to keep the microphone away from the [9]
speaker, otherwise acoustic feedback may cause squealing. This hazard can be avoided if earphones are used instead of the internal speaker. The earphones should be plugged into the external speaker jack. Also, before rewinding the tape, additional material may be recorded by turning over the full take-up reel and placing it on the supply spindle.
Tape Erasure
Whenever a recording is made, any previously-recorded material on the tape is automatically erased before the new material is recorded. Erasing is performed only when the recorder is set to Record. Half of the tape is erased at a time. To erase without recording new sound, turn the volume control down completely before entering Record mode.
Playback
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Thread the tape as described under Preparation Step 4, a-e. Locate the desired starting point using the High Speed Lever. Set the speed selector to the speed used when the material was recorded. Push down the play key. Adjust volume and tone as desired. For dual-track recordings, do the following: a) Turn over the tape at the end of the first track. b) Put it on the supply on the supply spindle. c) Rethread the tape and play as before.
Playback with External Amplifier
1. Connect the external amplifier to the preamp output jack on the back of the recorder using a shielded cable such as Wollensak A196-13 Hi-Fi cable. 2. Set the recorders tone control to Hi-Fi. 3. Adjust the recorders volume until the Normal side of the level indicator flashes. 4. Adjust the amplifiers volume and tone controls as desired.
sections of tape can be spliced together and reused. Tape should be cut on a diagonal and the ends joined together with splicing tape on the glossy side. Any excess width should be trimmed. Program material can be edited very precisely in the following manner: 1. Press Play key and stop the tape with the instant stop lever. 2. Turn the reels by hand to locate the word or sound. 3. Remove the head cover and mark the tape at the right-hand element in the black slot of the sound head. 4. Remove the tape from the threading slot and cut on the mark.

Remove top panel. a) Remove five (5) painted screws holding top panel (three screws between reel spindles and one on each forward corner). b) Remove two chrome-plated screws on top of perforated grill directly in front of head cover. c) Remove clean-out cover bar by pulling upward. d) Carefully pry up the top panel at the rear enough to just clear the reel spindles. e) Pull back the panel to remove. 2. Remove bottom cover by removing the following: a) Four (4) screws in line with and inside rubber feet b) Two (2) screws on side panels a half-inch above rear feet. (For Model T-1700, one screw on left side-panel, the other inside right rear foot.) c) Two (2) screws one-inch to the side of the top cover hinges. d) Lastly the bottom cover. 3. Remove counter belt from counter pulley. 4. Remove high-speed knob by pulling up. 5. Remove the three remaining Philips head screws from each side panel. 6. Remove side panels. 7. For Models TS-1520 and T-1700, remove the additional power plug to remove the left-side casting.
[15]
Preliminary Tests
Failure to pass any of these tests indicates a fault that should be remedied! 1. Cleaning a) Remove head cover casting (3) and pull out clean-out cover casting (4). b) Clean heads, tape guides, and capstan with isopropyl alcohol. 2. Setup a) Press stop key. b) Place high-speed knob in the middle or neutral position. c) Turn on recorder by rotating tone control. 3. Testing Brakes a) Place reel of tape on rewind (left) spindle. b) Pull out about 12 inches of tape. c) Brakes should be engaged. d) Pull required on reel should not distort the tape, but there should be sufficient drag to prevent spilling of tape. e) Drop tape in threading slot, and attach free end to take-up reel (right). f) Reel should rotate freely counterclockwise and drag when rotated clockwise. 4. Playback Mechanism Test a) Press play key; it should latch down. b) Brakes on both spindles should release. c) Record pressure pad assembly (142) and erase pressure pad assembly (143) should press tape squarely against head. d) Pressure roller (103) should push tape against flywheel-capstan assembly (47) causing tape to move smoothly past the head as it passes flyback-capstan assembly (47). e) The counter should tally each revolution of the supply reel. 5. High-Speed Test a) Move high-speed knob to the right. b) Play key should release. c) Pressure roller and pressure pads should release. d) The tape should move forward at greatly increased velocity. 6. Pressure Pads & Braking a) Return high-speed knob to the middle or neutral position. b) Pressure pads and pressure roller should remain disengaged. [16]
c) Brake pressure on spindles should increase smoothly, bringing tape to a stop without spilling. 7. Recording System Test a) Make a recording with the microphone. b) Adjust volume control while speaking so that normal indicator flashes and distorted does not. 8. Rewind Test a) Move high-speed knob to the left. b) Record key should release and the tape should rewind quickly. 9. Playback Test a) Playback recording. b) Check volume, tone, and overall quality. c) Pull instant stop arm (104) forward. d) Tape should stop at once. e) When arm is released, tape should start instantly without spilling off reels. 10. Erasure Test a) Rewind tape and rerecord over previous recording. b) All trace of previous recording should be erased on the portion of tape reused. c) Check for irregularities in playing speed (wow and flutter).

Electrical Adjustments
Head Azimuth
It is important the head be lined up so that the record-playback (read/write) head gap is at a 90 angle with respect to the direction of tape travel. If the head is misaligned, there will be some loss of the higher frequencies and a lower overall output. An alignment tape, which used to be available from Ampex or the larger radio supply houses*, should be used to align the head. The tape should have a full-track recording at a frequency higher than six kilohertz. While the alignment tape is being played, adjust alignment screw (140) for maximum output. Cement screw with Locktite. If an alignment tape is not available, play a previously-recorded tape and adjust alignment screw (140) for maximum treble response. Azimuth is the only head adjustment needed on Models T-1500, TS-1520, and T-1700.
[18]
[19]
8. With a plastic (not metal) flat-bladed adjustment tool, adjust bias/erase oscillator coil T4 for a voltage of 50 VAC.
Cleaning
The majority of defects, other than wear or breakage, can be traced to dirty surfaces. The play-record and erase heads, capstan, and pressure roller are subject to an accumulation to tape coating residue, which is worn off the tape as it passes these parts. This accumulation should be periodically removed since it will cause faint recording and poor playback. Wipe off the above surfaces carefully using a clean cloth dampened slightly with isopropyl alcohol.
Lubrication
All moving parts in this recorder were permanently lubricated at time of manufacture. Under normal use, further lubrication should not be required. In heavyduty service, the following parts should be lubricated once a year with a drop of light lubricating oil: The top and bottom motor bearings. The top and bottom flywheel (47) bearings. Pressure roller (103) bearing. All idler and drive wheel bearings. The reel spindle bearings. The basic rule isdo not over lubricate! Oil must be kept off all rubber idlers, belts, the periphery of the flywheel, and any parts that might transfer oil to them. Always wipe excess lubricant from parts that have been lubricated.
Grease or oil on high (120) or low speed (58) idler tires. Sticking idler slide (59 or 119)
Take-up Reel Does Not Turn Although Tape Feeds Past the Capstan
Take-up belt (45) broken or off pulley (43). Replace belt or place it back on pulley.
Supply reel is free to rotate and is not scraping against the top plate. Brakes are completely released. Pressure roller (103) is making good contact with capstan. Pressure roller tension spring (89) should not be too weak or too strong. Capstan and pressure roller are clean.
Check for irregularities in the following: Idler wheel surfaces Pressure roller (103) surface Take-up Tension: The take-up clutch is designed to slip during normal operation to compensate for the different rate of rotation of a full and an empty reel. Check by holding the right-hand spindle while the recorder is in Play mode. The clutch action should be smooth and non-pulsating. If the surface of the take-up clutch (41) is gummy or if the felt is worn, it should be replaced.
5. 6. 7. 8.
Check pressure pads for weak or improper contact. Wrong type or tape or wind. Dull side of tape should be wound in (A wind). Check head azimuth adjustment. Check head for wear. If head is worn, make compensating adjustment (see High Frequency Equalization Adjustment on page 19) or replace if head wear is too great. 9. Check adjustment and condition of L3. 10. If high-frequency response is lacking only at 3 ips, check operation of equalization switch S8.
No Playback or Record
1. Check tubes and voltages as indicated on schematic diagram. Trouble can be localized by monitoring output at preamp jack: if signal is present here, trouble must be in some succeeding stage; if no signal is present, trouble may be in preceding stages or in power supply. 2. Check play-record head.
Plays, But Does Not Record Or Records But Does Not Playback
1. Amplifier Function Switch Nylon Arm out of Adjustment a. See if switch arm moves the function switch all of the way back when play key is pressed or all the way forward when the record key is pressed. b. The switch arm requires adjustment if pushing the switch arm by hand moves the function switch slide slightly more to the rear or front when the play or record keys respectively are pressed. c. To adjust, turn the hexagon nylon cam so that its pin moves the function slide switch as far as possible, both backward and forward when the play and record keys are pressed. d. To check if adjustment is correct, press the stop key; sight straight down the rear edge of the function switch -in access hole into the amplifier. The rear edge should appear to bisect the small eyelet on the function switch slide. 2. Check for drag or binding on the function switch slide. Switch should not require more than 20 ounces (570 grams) to move back and forth. 3. Check recording source; microphone may be dead, or other source may be faulty. 4. Oscillator tube V4 may be defective; if so, listener may perceive distortion in playback. 5. Check oscillator coil T4.
3. Check microphone or other input source for quality of signal. 4. Check plugs; microphone plug should be a two-circuit plug with shielded wire connected to tip and shield connected to body. Shaft of plug should be approximately 1-in long. High level sources require a two-circuit plug approximately 1 316 inches long. Failure to push plugs all of the way into jack may cause distortion. 5. Check record level indicator lamp. A defective lamp may result in a recording level which is too high or too low.
Microphonic Noises
Microphonic noises usually develop in the first stages of an amplifier in which the sensitivity is greatest, but can develop in other stages. Start with the first stage (7025) and try different tubes, selecting the one that is least microphonic. Dress C12 to clear edges of function switch shield. Dress V1A grid wire (pin #2) to clear C2. Dress C11 to clear input jack shield.
