The deck in this was playing fine, belts and everything seem perfect.
However, I thought I best de magnetise the head, so as usual I put my de-mag tape in and hit play.
After this it hit record as I usually do.
Upon engaging record the deck locked up. No movement, but the record LED stays lit.
No other button functions worked, but the heads weren't engaged.
I open her up and manually rotate the flywheel and it disengages record. Lovely!
But now every time a deck button is pressed, including stop, the record LED lights up and locks
up the deck until, again, I manuall rotate the fly wheel. Then it all goes back to working. until another
button is pressed and it loops into the lit record LED with no deck movement.
This doesn't look like an easy deck to work on with all the boards inside so I thought I'd ask here if anyone's had this experience
and can offer a solution.
Thanks guys!
Rock On.
