Default Re: Coomber 393 Cassette Player/Recorder No Playback Sound

Got inside, without further stripping cannot see let alone access the PB/Record head wiring, looks like black frame plus maybe the metal bits below as per photo 3 would have to be removed.

Did a good visual of all the various wires connecting to the 2 main boards, including the board on the mechanism itself. Nothing untoward seen.

Decided to power up and try flexing the various wires and lightly taping the various items to see if could get playback sound to work.

But low and behold without doing anything else, it now is working and cannot get the sound to stop working.

Will give the Record/Playback switch a spray of contact cleaner and clean the heads (which look pretty clean already) and reassemble to see if it then still works.
