Not a fan of repairing tape decks. Too much mechanical stuff to go wrong. But I've learned by accident how to make these Commodore C2N decks work again and here's a video where I share my secrets!

#EveningStevens! The day of deliveries is completed! A genuine, old, near mint #C64 Datasette C2N and the Instruction Manual. Revelling it all the COMMODORE this weekend!!! 💃 It is BEAUTIFUL.

Great capture C2N, but that was yesterday's theme. Today's theme is in my profile, as I'm covering for Alan today.

Eh sì, adesso vado che devo tarare l'azimuth del C2N. 😬

As of tonight, I have a working Commodore 64, 1541 Disk Drive (with unformatted floppies), C2N Cassette Drive (with blank cassettes), CX40 Controller and a Kung Fu Flash... all plugged into a 26" Toshiba CRT TV via s-video. #retro #retogaming #8bit

#C64UDiaries The "new" C64 1530 Dataset C2N loaded up the first test game straight out of the gate. Colour me amazed. The #C64 was a marvel, wasn't it? This C2N is filthy. 🤣 Genius. Anyone know what that tape is? I best load it up! 💃😎💃

The #Commodore 1530 (C2N) Datasette, later also Datassette, is Commodore's dedicated magnetic-tape data storage device. Using compact cassettes as the storage medium, it provided inexpensive storage for Commodore's 8-bit computers. There are at least four main models of the 1530/C2N Datassette. #C64

#C64Ultimate I am nearly Half A Century in Time Units and I have such a big grin on my face getting my (admittedly broken by myself trying to AZIMUTH) C2N to load original cassettes from 35-40 years ago and play them. Do things that make you have this feeling, people, you'll thank yourself for it. 💃

#C64UDiaries The "Quattro" range of Codemasters compilations were a mixed bag, however, some contained literal gems. This is not one of them, but, it is still a half decent Uridium-em-Up! #Quattro!

#C64UDiaries It's just, well, nice, I suppose, to be in a position to a) have a lovely study and b) load C64 games as I am actually working. I had forgotten how charming Equinox actually is. The game, I think, is a bit frustrating, but that's a nice Title SID (pic not representative of now).

I ordered some C2N datasette replacement belts from a small ebay seller. They created the invoice on an Amiga 600 and printed it out on a Star NL 10 dot matrix printer.
This is the way.

#AfternoonDubloons Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you: 1988. #C64 Tinkering never been so froody. There's a little activator that auto-stops the C2N when the magnetic tape spool ends, or is otherwise hampered in movement. This makes the tape strip taut and the actuator releases the header.
