Porta 07
Hi

I have a PORTA 07 and a PORTA 488 mk2

The tapes recorded on the PORTA 07 sound much slower on the PORTA 488mk2, like 7 semitones lower.

i thought these two units were both operating at double speed, 3-3/4 ips ?? The 488 mk2 doesn't have a speed option, and both units have the pitch knob at their center... no audible wow & flutter, other than that everything works perfect on both units.

i guess there's a problem with the 488, but how do i fix it ?
 
I have to go by memory and I am about to work on a 07 but I think it is a 1.7/8" IPS deck.
