Hi all, recently got another one of these aswell to add to the growing collection
Initially upon power on there was no clock or display of any kind and the machine constantly tried to lace.
I've since reflowed the regulators on the power supply, replaced the rifa cap under the power cord connector which was already blown. Removed all the boards and cleaned up and refitted, one board wasn't even pushed in which wouldn't have helped.
I've also removed the back-up battery and after reading suggestions from an older thread I have replaced it with a capacitor?
Now when plugged in the clock and display appears however the machine still tries to lace up even with no tape in and the head spins emitting a high pitched squeal the longer I leave it powered on.
I'm trying to locate the Service Manual but in the meantime does anyone have any experience of a similar fault/faults with this particular model?
Best Wishes, Andy
