Hello, I own this radio. The cassette engine does not work.
I've read before that a resistor may be to blame.
But now I can't find where I read it.
Does anyone know what resistor is?

They were most likely speaking of the variable resistor which controls the speed of motor. Most of the time it’s the electronics of motor that go bad. First test the motor wiring for power with a meter. If it has power then most likely the motor is is bad.

This is analyzed and discovered today. Don't know the value of that little resistance? The big one is about ok has 100 ohms.

I have already obtained a manual for the LU version. R736 100ohm is OK, R742 3.3ohm is KO measured approx. 500kohm. I'll try to exchange and see. I'll still change the belts, he reached for him and stayed glued to his hands.

Hello. So replacing the wrong resistor didn't help. The engine does not spin. Motor voltage 0.4V. If anyone has an idea they can share it.

1: check L701 out of circuit, make sure it's not open
2: check C728, make sure it's not shorted
3: check C733, make sure it is not shorted
4: replace Q710
5: oh and make sure you are not testing the wrong motor wire for voltage.

it would help if you would test and post the emitter voltage of Q710.

The super engine is spinning. Playback works without error. But rewinding is a weak tape that is hard to spin. I was giving new rubber bands, maybe some are weak. I'll have to disassemble again.
