Studer A80/R tape path alignment after bearing replacement

My Studer A80/R was making some high-pitched noise when winding. This is the result of worn bearings. That is not surprising because they are over 30-40 years old. So I replaced the bearings. That was an adventure in itself.

After that, the tape path had to be re-calibrated again. In this video I will show you how I did most of the steps, but NOT ALL.
I will follow the Studer manual that I got, but I will keep an eye on my laptop that has the revised PDF with a new version from 1976; newer than my printed copy. 
After the adjustments, the Studer is functioning smooth and fluently again in all the tape functions.

I apologize for the noisy camera-mic.

Watch the complete video for a surprise @ 23:00 and bonus material at the very end.
Thank you for watching!
