Sony SL-HF100 - Worse than the first? PART 2

This ones a little bit different insofar as we did the right thing with the SL-HF100 in changing that hall-effect device on the head drum and doing a few other jobs and checks on the way. There will be a part 3 with an interesting fault! Not sure what happened with the sound as there are some crazy artifacts in some places but I've done my very best to minimise those.
