Charlie and his crew do outstanding work. He may not service MCI capstan motors, but contact him, it's worth a try.
You guys are gonna flip when I tell you how I clean the ceramic shafts on these motors. I pull the motor and take it into the bathroom, then mix together a little Ajax and water, making a thick paste. Using a paper towel with a little of the paste on it AND HOLDING THE MOTOR UPSIDE DOWN, I clean the shaft several times until it's spotless. Then, STILL HOLDING THE MOTOR UPSIDE DOWN, I rinse and clean many times with water, making sure I get it clean and dry. I have probably done this 200 times over the last 28 years and it has always worked perfectly.
When installing an MCI capstan motor (or even just putting one back) you nearly always need to shim the underside, to set it's azimuth. This is kind of fun, and there are two reasons for it. One, the tape deck and motor are not perfectly machined so if you just bolt the thing in, it will usually tend to pull tape slightly up or down as it exits the headstack. Two, gravity. Even if everything is perfect, the weight of the tape may tend to cause it to "fall down" across the headblock and the capstan.
My trick for this little task is to install the motor with no shims and put it in play. If the tape path grossly crunches down, the motor needs to be shimmed to lift it up slightly, which means placing a shim between the left side of the motor and the deck plate. Generally, a small strip of plastic leader, or something thinner, is about right. If the tape tends to pull up (rare) you put the shim on the right.
If the tape path looks ok without any shims, reduce the supply tension and see what happens. (The supply tension is what keeps the tape path stable, so reducing it reveals misalignment in the tape path.) Turn down the tape tension, or just use your hand to gently spin the supply motor counter clockwise, reducing the hold back tension. Now what happens to the tape path? If it remains stable for a second or two with almost no back tension the motor is perfect, leave it alone. It the tape creeps down and starts wrinkling, try a very thin shim (aluminum foil or glassine type paper) on the left. If it creeps up, place a very thin shim on the right.
Carefully observe the tape path across the 3 heads and the 2 guides. It should be perfectly centered and stable all the way across. It's tricky and definitely a trial and error process but if you want to give it a go, these pointers might help get you there.
A further thought. For all the talk of the awesome tape sound, blah blah blah, I wonder what kind of shape some of these machines are in. Even when they were new, keeping 24-tracks shipshape and working right required a lot of TLC. If you're in love with the smooth top end of your 2" recorder, be brave and record a few minutes of 15 kHz. Do the meters read close to zero, and not bounce too much? In many cases the answer will be "oh, geez". Head geometry and tape path are a big deal. If those things are out of whack, and that happens very easily, audio quality can take a big, big hit.
