hello, i’ve been working on my m90 and have gotten everything working great, but cannot got the deck solenoid to engage at all.

i have replaced all the fusible resistors but that didn’t seem to help, noticeably the original ones didn’t look fried but replaced them anyway.

what’s apparent is that when i plug in the m90 and turn the power on, i do not hear the solenoid doing the “reset” thing it is supposed to do.

i can get the deck to play a tape if i manually engage it, but absolutely no controls work, play/pause etc.

i’ve done a bunch of research thru the forums but am having trouble at where to start?

thanks for any help!
