Today I've attached some small speakers just to briefly check sound from the deck.
Unfortunately, despite playing both directions, rewinding, fast forwarding, fully functional auto-reverse, functional recording (I can see peeks on spectrum analyzer when I play blank tape with recorded section) but I get no sound at all. Tired with an album tape too.
There is just buzzing as long as deck is connected to amp, from where it gets the power too. So, it is not the buzzing transformer, because tuner sounds great. once the deck is disconnected, and there is no buzzing when I switch to empty aux or phono ports.
All mechanical functions on deck work perfectly even via remote, which is a "WOO-HOO" give the age of device and complicated controls, wiring etc.
I have another PB from deck I got as for spare parts, but reconnecting all wires, including ones that are not connected via connectors but soldered, doesn't seam to be wise idea at the moment.
I guess that problem is most likely on the PB, but I've cleaned it with medical alcohol already, when I was fixing the mechanical parts. I have the service manual.
No idea where to start from, although it smells like something short-circuited on the PB. Perhaps someone already had similar problem and gained experience how to overcome it.
Any hint would be appropriated, but it is nothing urgent or important. If, when, than...
