one is positively happy to recieve such good feedback on my new purchase..
I like it alot,but there is some issues its got that needs to get sorted on it..
yeh As some of you may know..the on/off button does`nt seem to switch the box off and the tapes run at a zillion rpm..
Took it to my repair shop today,my mate checked it out while i was there,The On Off button is short all the time,so it needs a new one,tried giving it a spray with contact cleaner but still same..so new on/off switch is needed..
Tapes - he found a transistor that was short circuit/burned out on the board on the back that controls the decks,he found the right replacement in his spare bits so he changed it,but the decks are still the same,he checked the voltage to the motors,he said the voltage seems pretty normal,varying from 11v/12v,so he said i should try changing the motors,he said the insides of these are cheapo and its got cheap n nasty motors in it,that have a speed regulator built in the moter itself,he said that goes mental and sets the motor off at wild speed,so i gotta look for 2x 12v/ccw/1600rpm motor,well i will have to try one first to see if that is the problem..looks like its gunna be quite a big job..might have to buy another parts box intersound or J1,anyone selling one ?? i doubt it..
