RX-5250 mystery wires

[Macdude443]

Can anyone tell me where these wires should go? They connect to the board near the function switch, as shown in the photo...

I wanted to help but sadly I don't have a RX 5250.(one Panny I don't have on my collection in the heavy weights of RX series) Just wondering if you could find the other end of these wires hanging inside the unit., or could have pulled out from a connector of solder joint.

I would look up in the schematics and figure it out from where they are coming out/origin.

not sure what those wires are or go to???

Sadly I don't have a schematic. I can't see any place they would come from. The connector next to the wires goes to the head amp board. I figure it has something to do with the tape section.

it could be wires for the tape player moter
is everything working on it?
see if the moter runs
it looks like positive & negative wires
or the may be wires for one of the speakers
or it could go to the battery termanals

Everything works as it should.

Everything works as it should.

The long switch is the record function switch. Did you check recording?

if everthing works on it than i would not worry too much as those wire could have been used to test something and just cut and left there especially if there was a last minute change ....

I thought about that. I haven't recorded anything to a tape yet, but I do get levels on the VUs. It probably does have something to do with recording.

Could be test point wires just

That is correct!

A-HA! It would make sense that they would be test points. On your 5700, you can see the TP prefix on the board. From the angle I was looking, you can't see that on mine. I don't see too many test points with wires attached.

Thanks for the help.. sure is a load off!

Ah yes! So thoughtful of Matsushita to take care of us consumers like they do! The best never rest!!!
