Hi all
Being restored a SHARP VZ-2000 and I'm blocking.
The radio is working.
The cassette player is working.
But when I select the LP record part, the solenoids A and B will boot up and shunt it down. I notice that the EP/LP LEDs are off.

Recently, I heard a radio commercial of an upcoming dance that was to be a 1970s, 80s & 90s Prom theme. When I heard the "80s" part, I immediately started thinking of how cool it would be to have My boxes on display there to add to the 80s experience. Attendees were encouraged to wear Prom...
